I can vouch that gluten hurts some way worse than others. Ive got a friend that cant get shredded unless he drops it. Swells him up, bloat. It swells me a little but not too bad so I just make sure i dont over do it. To each thier own, everyone is different. Wouldnt hurt to experiment with dropping it for a bit to see how you react to it. Might help, never know.........
