Hi there,

I'm not sure how long it takes for a meal to go through, but if I had to guess I'd say that it was either your breakfast meal bothering you, or possibley and outside factor too.

No matter what I eat, I usually don't feel great in the mornings. For some reason my stomach doesn't like the transistion from sleep to waking up. Sometimes even after I have a nap I may not feel great.

With rergards to gluten. It's in LOTS of foods. I tried going gluten free for a few months but I don't think that that was my problem. I didn't have any of the tests because the nearest G.I. is 700 km and the one I went to was kind of a tool.

Things that you have to watch out for: Anything that contains wheat, oats barley, flour, malt. It's amazing how much of that stuff is in everything. Flour is used as a thickening agent for lots of stuff you wouldn;t expect, ie, almost all of campell's soups have it in. Make sure you read the labels very carefully if you're going to try true gluten free.

Good Luck
