I just wanted to report back on my GF (and dairy free) diet "experiment." I did it for 3 months, although there were many times when I was probably cross-contaminated due to eating out and prevalence of gluten products where I live. While my SFN pain didn't go away entirely, it was reduced by maybe 10-20%? For the 3 month period overall the intensities of the pain were definitely reduced. I paused the experiment last week to see what would happen -- I thought it wouldn't make a difference but my pain is actually a lot worse. I'm having a lot of shooting pain in my feet and hands that's affecting my sleep. It coincided with a stressful period at work so it's hard to pinpoint gluten as a cause with 100% certainty. That said, I will probably revert back to a GF diet again next week with Gliadin X supplement for support and see what happens!

Has a GF diet helped anyone else on this forum? I've been told about the AIP and I[m considering possibly trying it when I move back to the US... though it is hard to do as a vegetarian/pescatarian.
