You know, it may work for you, but it's probably no more than (and no less than!) placebo. Somatic gastrointestinal issues are very common, and are often resolved by placebo treatment. You can't tell unless you're in the context of a real study that uses blinding to tease out the placebo effect.

I find it fairly absurd that so many people suddenly feel better when they stop eating gluten (poorly, might I add, if you monitor most gluten-free diets they're a complete failure) this decade. Is it just recently that everyone has started having issues?
