Thanks Ken and Annie,
I have been tested for CD and came back negative. But I have decided to give it a try when I get back from my holiday to see if it improves my overall health. I eat very healthily anyway, but anything is worth a try :-)

I have been experimenting with gluten and decided I need to get tested for CD. I don't usually have any major symptoms when eating gluten, but I generally feel better without it. I've been going without gluten (or at least mostly) for a few months and I've been feeling slightly better, my MG symptoms are more steady with less ups and downs. Earlier today, I ate some cereal...and I feel a few things I hadn't noticed before. I feel bloated now, my belly is sticking out about 1 to 2 inches more than normal (this is new), my skin feels a little itchy, and I have more weakness than usual, I even feel out of breath, and I have a few bumps in the back of my mouth. I'm even feeling a bit of brain fog which had been clearing up since I am paying close attention to my diet. And worst of all, I am craving breads and sweets, can hardly resist eating any sweet thing in the house, luckily I don't have much in my house. Sugar I think is worse than the gluten for me. Sugar seems to trigger allergies, which in turn makes my MG worse. I am trying to avoid most sweet things Please understand that my troubles may be allergy related and not MG related at all. I think avoiding gluten is a good thing to experiment with. As for me, I figure anything that helps no matter how slight is worth it as long as it is not to difficult to do. I hope this is helpful.

thanks for your reply, I really think it would be worth it, in the long run to give it a whirl...
