I don't need to, I've been gluten free for a long time and I feel better than ever so that's proof enough for me. I'm glad to hear that you're trying to take control of your RA with diet, I truly believe that this is the key. I hope you feel better!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328935611151957460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-16495598208002693682010-06-30T15:37:17.758-04:002010-06-30T15:37:17.758-04:00I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about a ...I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about a year ago and I'm only in my thirties. Today I made a plan to stay away from gluten . I can't eat dairy and nightshades or most grains either or I get more joint pain than I already have. There is a lab that I found online called Enterolab, they will test stool samples for Celiac and gluten sensitivity, instead of blood test from your doctor. I guess bloodwork can miss a good percentage of those with Celiac or gluten sensitivity.S.M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-14225218514561128902009-01-16T19:26:00.000-05:002009-01-16T19:26:00.000-05:00Rachel I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles.

Anyway, I don't know how to speed up recovery, I usually just try to eat foods that are natural and easy on the digestive system, and wait it out. If pepto bismol or something like that helps, try that. Drink lots of water. If you're having diarrhea get lots of fluids so you don't get dehydrated and feel worse. Applesauce, but not juice, scrambled eggs, boiled rice are all good things to eat that are easy on digestion but also gluten free. I hope you feel better soon!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328935611151957460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-76975561525062060172009-01-16T18:52:00.000-05:002009-01-16T18:52:00.000-05:00Help...I made spagetti for my family with soy past...Help...I made spagetti for my family with soy pasta, i've been gluten free for 2 yrs. with only a few mishaps, i thought my home was safe and made this pasta w/o reading the label all my symptoms are back.

I can't believe I forgot all about this book; I read it almost two years ago when the whole gf thing started for me and your post makes me want to read it again. I'm glad you discovered it and shared the wisdom!<BR/><BR/>My mother has MS - an autoimmune disease so hopefully I can get her to read this too because she will only accept a diagnosis of celiac disease in order to go gluten free.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07104813349541912507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-72917831568463476942009-01-04T14:05:00.000-05:002009-01-04T14:05:00.000-05:00Thanks for the book info.

You feel deprived without the gluten food so it is easy to turn to these snack foods but it is really best to steer away from them or eat in moderation. Whole food or gluten free that you prepare yourself make you feel a whole lot better.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314854222708436171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-18761955655796662372009-01-04T13:00:00.000-05:002009-01-04T13:00:00.000-05:00"nothing tastes as good as gluten free feels." my ..."nothing tastes as good as gluten free feels." my thoughts exactly. good for you.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351682131526462952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-37187658168945545112009-01-04T11:46:00.000-05:002009-01-04T11:46:00.000-05:00Linda - the book I got from Borders is the book I ...Linda - the book I got from Borders is the book I linked to, The Gluten Connection. I highly recommend it!<BR/><BR/>Sally - I totally agree, I love chips and fritos but I know that even though they are gluten free, they make me feel like crap!! I'm definitely going to focus on a whole foods, natural diet. My house will probably smell garlicky too hahaha.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328935611151957460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-83376789531054424392009-01-04T11:41:00.000-05:002009-01-04T11:41:00.000-05:00After spending 10 days with my parents, eating all...After spending 10 days with my parents, eating all gluten free foods and still feeling sick, I'm encouraging you to do the fresh whole foods diets and do all the cooking yourself. I ate totally gluten free, but I also ate things like Fritos and potato chips and, frankly, it's not worth it. <BR/>I find that when I make everything myself, even snacks (I mean I buy Nut Thins and Mary's Gone Crackers, but I don't buy pre-made meals anymore), I feel way better. Cook grains in a slow cooker and you can have hot porridge for a few days. Cook steak and roasted vegetables and you'll have the best lunch leftovers of anyone at your office.<BR/>It's time consuming, but I bet you'll find that you feel better! Plus, your house/apartment will smell ridiculously good (or way too garlicky like mine!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-27785772963444211512009-01-03T23:59:00.000-05:002009-01-03T23:59:00.000-05:00Could you list the book that you bought at Borders...Could you list the book that you bought at Borders. I am trying a gluten free diet to rid migraine headaches. It seems to be working. I began 8 weeks ago and I think many people would have given up because I am just now seeing results. <BR/>I think it takes time for your body to cleanse itself. I am hopeful that this is the answer for me. I have suffered with headaches all my life and it took an alternative approach to get relief.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314854222708436171noreply@blogger.com
