Trying to go Gluten free

A lot of the potential indicators for gluten sensitivity seem to apply to me, so I'm going to try being gluten free for 6 months (apparently that's how long gluten can still negatively effect you even after you've stopped eating it).  If that goes well, maybe it will be a permanent thing.  For the last few years, my eating habits have not really revolved around gluten as much as many people's diets do, so basically all I need to drop right now is bread (or get a gluten free bread). 

I'm hoping this makes a big difference, but I'm also conflicted, because I've hated the anti-gluten movement.  A lot of people seem to be doing it like a health fad, as if gluten were universally bad and everyone should avoid it.  Maybe they are more right than I thought, but I'm still not going to tell people I'm off gluten.  I don't want to be one of "those" people.
