Wanna see an embarrassing photo? Passport photos are never really any good because of the fact you cant make any facial expression. Everyone looks crazy angry at the world & that just makes them funny.
This to me is extra funny because you can really see how much inflammation was in my body before going gluten free. I weighed about the same in pounds in each photo but the difference is pretty noticeable (to me & everyone else i show who laughs at it).
I laugh every time i put these photos side by side. So, have a good laugh I’m cool with it 
. Inflammation & a haircut can really make a pretty big difference.

What kind of world would it be if we didn’t laugh at ourselves every once in a while

oh so true. this one really gets me giggling!
You look like two totally different people! If you hadn’t said you weighed about the same I would have thought you had lost at least 50 lbs!

it’s pretty freaky isnt it!
Wow. That’s all I really have to say, is wow. Glad you’ve been diagnosed. A few of my friends have Celiac Disease and now that they know what it is, life has been loads more fulfilling.

It really has been a huge positive impact on my life!
Oh wow! Look at you
I totally see the difference-Isn’t it incredible what wheat/gluten can do to a person’s body!? And most people don’t REALIZE it, which is the saddest part.

I needed to see this. I’m trying to be gluten free (I’m gluten intolerant), but only at 85-90% at the moment. It’s one thing to have someone tell you the difference, but to see it is another story. I would have thought you lost some weight, but just to know that the bloating was caused by the gluten truly helps me.
Thank you for sharing.
And I argree with Andrea, cute haircut.

Now I am bummed because I haven’t had any significant reduction in inflammation in my face since going gf. Only been 20 months. Maybe soon?
Brave you putting the photos up though. I didn’t let anyone take pix in the year or so before dx because I was covered with open sores. Now there would be a comparison. My skin looks awesome now!
