I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder last year, and my endocrinologist recently recommended cutting out gluten. I was strict about it for almost 3 weeks, and honestly did feel better. But then I caved (I work at a place where someone brings in desserts every week and I have the most powerful sweet tooth!). I've tried and failed a handful of times to stick to the diet, and I feel discouraged. Does anyone have advice for how to adjust?

Does anyone else struggle with GI symptoms they never had before diagnosis? I have Graves disease and TED (diagnosed Feb 2025), and for the past six months have really been struggling with bloating, etc- things I've never dealt with before. My endocrinologist suggested cutting out gluten but I'm being stubborn. Anyone have experience or advice?
