139792 tn?1498585650 Imagine a life in which your favorite comfort foods, such as pasta, bread, cereal and cookies, could cause you to become violently ill. This is reality for an estimated 3 million Americans who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that involves a severe reaction to foods containing gluten. Growing awareness of the condition, combined with consumer demand, has brought an increasing number of gluten-free products to store shelves in recent years.
Avatar f tn Has any one had success with a gluten free casine free diet? We are about to try it under the support from an integrated medical doctor and dietitian. Does any one have any good result stories or otherwise?
Male My doctor has told me I need to move to a gluten-free diet....yikes!!! All my life (and that is a very long time--ha ha) I have generally eaten whatever I wanted to eat. This change to a GF diet seems like such a huge mountain to climb. I know there are many others who have had to change to a GF diet after a lifetime of eating what they wanted with little or no restrictions. How does a person even get started on a change like this? What do you do when you go out to eat at a restaurant?
Avatar f tn Is it possible/ recommended to do a gluten free diet crossed with a calorie controlled diet? I was thinking of cutting carbs also but if I have to have them they have to be gluten free? Is that recommended ? Or is there any other way to do it?
Avatar f tn Have you tried a GFCF (gluten-free, cassein free) diet? I went on one primarily because I wanted to try it with my boys who have autism spectrum issues. I found that it helped my fibro symptoms. It can be hard and expensive to follow but may be worth it for you. I was on Lyrica for a few days and have had asthma ever since.

Avatar n tn I had a two biopsies via a colonoscopy and the results were negative. Mind you I had been on a gluten free diet for a month, and know now I should have stayed on the gluten to prove a point. There is no evidence to show anti-bodies from one disease will affect the outcome of another. Hashimoto's has a sneaky way of producing many other auto-immune diseases along its wonderful journey through the body.
Avatar f tn My mother has been diagnosed with hashimoto. I was wondering if anyone has been on a gluten free diet with hashimoto and what effect it has had. Mum's doctor suggested to try the diet.
5276842 tn?1365878296 I have experience of living gluten dairy free as my boys are both autistic and the oldest one was gluten dairy msg free for about a year it didn't really help very much and as he was a faddy eater we went back to a normal healthy diet. I didn't find it too much if a hassle to Follow this diet I cook most things from scratch anyway and just found a few changes were needed. I guess I just need to cut out gluten and see how it goes.
Avatar f tn I follow a gluten free diet. I have celiac disease. So far it hasn't been easy. I used to pretty much live on tuna fish and lunch meat and now I can't have either. I'm afraid I won't get the nutrients my baby and myself need but I am trying. Luckily many grocery stores around me carry gluten free foods and there is a strict gluten free/dairy free/vegan bakery close by if I get a sweet tooth.
Avatar n tn I have had this for the last few years. Last summer, I decided I needed to lose weight and, on the advice of a friend who'd lost weight,I tried avoiding wheat. I didn't go full-on gluten free, or anything. Those foods marked "gluten free" almost always have way too many ingredients from the laboratory to be healthy, in my opinion. Anyway, for four months I stopped eating breads, pasta, crackers, cereals, etc...
1337734 tn?1336234591 I have Celiac Disease so I am always gluten free and have been before MS popped it's lovely head up.
Avatar m tn I have done some reading where some people are getting relief with a gluten free or even a vegan or dairy free diet (try reading the Lupus Recovery diet - has good case studies for those with fibromyalgia as well). It is important that she do some light exercise but never to the point of exhaustian and if her pain get higher take it easy. It took me a while to learn this. I get on my eliptical daily and started with just 5 minutes at a time.
Avatar f tn I cook pretty healthy, eat lots of fruit and veggies, rarely eat red meat, etc My chiropractor has suggested that I try a raw and gluten free diet to see if it might help. Has anyone had any success with a major diet change?
1961313 tn?1326290364 They are wonderful for feet-- mine has helped me a ton. Also have you looked into a gluten free diet for your fibro, (also get your thyroid and free T3 checked because they are learning that T3 resistance and fibro go together. If the doctor tells you it is in range-- get the actual results because they are learning the ranges are wrong.) I know someone who has been able to control her symptoms of fibro using a gluten free diet. This person also has T3 resistance.
183933 tn?1290216962 So my question is this. What does the pain feel like? Does a gluten free diet really help? I just started on one for some of my own auto-immune diseases, and so far, so good!
Avatar f tn In the little time I have had lately to really dig deep on the diet changes (particularly gluten-free and zero sugar) I was thinking WE could try this as a forum community and track our personal results. Maybe both weight and thyroid results. This would be a long haul of diligent work - about a 6 mth commitment but offering ourselves in diet changing to see if weight loss and thyroid wellness could be achieved with this may be something we could try.
Avatar f tn I have done some reading online about diets and endometriosis and was wondering if anyone has any advice or further information relating to this. I have found that a gluten free diet has made a difference with the pain and try to avoid too many dairy products and preservative rich foods. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn It is important to include a wide variety of gluten free cereal products in a Gluten Free diet. This can be as simple as adding small amounts of soy, potato flour or rice bran to a dish. These are important sources of fibre, B group vitamins, zinc and increase the variety of the diet. Soymilk and soybean oil is not a by-product of gluten.
Avatar n tn I'm curious as to whether or not the casein and gluten-free diet is one that needs to be adhered to for the entirety of a person's life who has autism and has found it to help? What happens if my son's autism improves because of this diet but he goes back to consuming casein and gluten some day? Will his autistic symptoms reappear or have they been cured?
Avatar f tn The first diet you could try to help control your symptoms is a gluten free diet. A gluten free diet is a diet free of wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. A gluten intolerance (which is when someone doesn't have the enzymes or not enough enzymes to break down the gluten in the above foods) can cause all of your above symptoms - PCOS, RA, hypoglycemia, etc. It's easy to look this up on the internet.
Avatar f tn Complaints of fatigue and joint pains are,unfortunately, very common. fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by muscular aches and pains, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. It is much more common in women, and it can be debilitating. Many conventional medical doctors do not think that fibromyalgia exists. In fact, many patients who believe they have this condition are often derided by their doctors.
