Do you feel better gluten free? I have been gluten free for 10 yrs, after about 4 yrs, I also had to be corn and soy free, then the nightshades went, followed by cruciferous veggies, and now, I eat no grains, no dairy...BUT, am doing much better.
Don't give up. Getting the gluten out of our systems is a slow job, and you must be sure that ALL gluten is gone. Read the labels on everything you put in your mouth, the processed foods are the worst. The fewer the ingredients, the better. I eat nothing processed anymore.  |
My husband is a lot like you. He gave up gluten, soy, dairy, nightshades, grains except for GF oatmeal, legumes and nuts. He has only beef, chicken, fish, certain fruits and veggies (very healthy!). He also takes methyl B12 (thanks to this board!), calcium, Vit D and Metagenics fish oil EPA-DHA 6:1 to help with inflammation. His pain level has decreased immensely! The homeopath said he has "leaky gut". He also takes Metagenics glutagenics before each meal to help heal this.
I'm so thankful for this board!
Take care,
Cindy
