I think this is a new page on one of my favorite sites~
Who Should Trial a Gluten Free Casein Free Diet?
hmmm....that link doesn't seem to be working (for me anyway), but here is one to the ARTICLES page. The gluten/casine dietary trial one is listed last, but it looks like there is lots of good reading on the way there!

Sensitivity to gluten and casein, two dietary proteins, can sometimes take a more extended time period to become evident than a standard elimination diet allows. Everyone with one or more of these medical conditions should trial a 100 % gluten free casein free (GFCF) diet for 30 days. To attempt this diet you must carefully read the ingredients list of every food you eat and truly do it 100% to see real results. No lab test negates the need for this trial. Most people that react negatively to gluten do not have true celiac disease (and therefore test negative to celiac blood tests), but rather another form of gluten sensitivity.
