So I totally gave up on GF this weekend and right now I feel like crap. Not that I felt "great" last week, but I can definitely feel the difference today. I don't think it's just TOM stuff, as I must have had PMS last week but didn't realize it.

It's just so hard to avoid these foods, especially when money is very very tight and we already have a lot of gluten-containing foods in the house.

I think I might try to just stay wheat-free and see if that helps. It just didn't feel "right" not having bread on Friday nights, and not being able to make the appropriate blessings over the food. We have several holidays coming up in September (Rosh Hashonna, followed by Succos) when we'll be eating challah even more often than once a week. So maybe if I make spelt, oat, rye, or barley challah for the whole family, I'll be able to sucessfully stay wheat-free for several months.
