diet help free

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?

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?

Terry Wahls clains to have put her MS to sleep using diet. The keys to her specific diet are typically available for sale on her web site. THis always makes me leary. Our bodies are at war, albeit with themselves. The stronger we can make our bodies, the more able they will be to fight the fight. THis includes a well balanced diet.

I will start a Iodine free diet next week in preparation for my Iodine131 treatment (for Jan. 21st) and would like to find the thyca cookbook. I did not see it on the thyca wedsite. I want to make sure that I do everything possible to insure good results from the treatment so I would appreciate finding recipes. Thank you.

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?

Now, I am already a pretty healthy eater, but Im reluctant to take this step when going to a totally wheat free diet can be VERY expensive. Anyone have an opinion? Know anything? Personal experiences? Also, my dr has discussed the possibility of Lupron with me. How about that? Personal experiences? advice? Thank you guys so much for any help you may have, really means very much!

t be fooled by sugar free food items ~ they may be sugar free, however they are probably NOT carbohydrate free and that's the important ingredient for both type 1's and type 2's. As far as "free foods", veggies (other than corn or potatoes), cheeses, peanut butter, meats are some foods that are free of carbs and can be eaten freely as long as they aren't heavy in calories and fat.

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.

He is an Integrative Medicine doc. I am sure he will be putting me on a Gluten free diet. I am waiting to start the diet for two reasons: 1. It's hard. No wheat, rye, or barley 2. In case he wants to test for actual Celiac disease-tests will be negative, regardless of if I have it or not, if I have already cut out gluten. I definitely believe in this type of medicine.

I have spoken to my doctor about it but none of the doctors in my area have even heard of the condition let alone what to do about it, other then eliminate sugar completely from my diet. I have tried searching for sucrose free diets as I am only allowed a max of 2% sucrose in any food. Does anyone know where I could find information on what foods I can eat as elimination diet does not seem to be working. Most foods, even natural contain sucrose.

low cal, diet, fat-free, low fat, sugar-free,etc. They will just add more weight on your body in the end for sure!!! These products are designed for marketing purposes and profits!!! I purchase mostly ONE ingredient items from the supermarket, so I KNOW what's in my food,lol! If you gain weight too easily, have your thyroid checked. Ask and insist for Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 tests! The standard tests miss too often!!! Good luck with your weight loss goals!

like I said my doc says to stay on a vegan low fat soy free diet..... but I honestly keep reading almost everywhere that the key is to stay atkins/veggie diet..... that it is most important to stay away from sugar and carbs (anything from any kind of flour) and stay with the veggies, egg whites, and meat.

For your age you need 1500 calories daily to safely lose weight. I would recommend a Heart Healthy diet which is a moderate fat diet. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.

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?

Somebody told me that M.S. and other autoimmune diseases carry one theory that the body becomes over-run with 'bad' yeast, leading to the disease. There is a "Candida" or "Yeast-Free" diet (that is not government approved, apparently) that requires you to starve your body of yeast, sugar and other things for a while. ..thus killing off the yeast that is causing the body to attack itself. Has anyone heard of or tried this?

As key ingredients are essential in a normal diet, which a gluten free diet lacks, e.g. fibre etc causing great complications. Otherwise if you have to, make sure to eat lots of kiwi fruit, dried apricots, prunes, anything high in fibre.

many people have tried going gluten free in hopes that it will help with thyroid. There is little evidence that it helps with thyroid specifically. However many people report feeling better in general. So regardless of whether or not it helped specifically with thyroid, if they felt better then it was worth it. From what I've been reading, it takes at LEAST 6 months of gluten free as a minimum before you may start to see the benefits if any.

I was ONLY saying that I have read in books how a gluten free diet can help reduce the amount of thyroid medication. I never said I believe or practice this. I also don't believe everything the book says. I read books and do my own research and talk to people with similar issues only to form my own opinion on the situation..

You can even google a gluten free diet and follow it for a week or so and you should start to see some difference in the way you feel. However, your DR will tell you go continue eating gluten in order for the tests to come back accurate. as that is what my DR suggested. He kept telling me my tests were negative and my weight loss stomach pains and loose stools were from IBS and its all in my head.

I wanted to know what do you think about the amino acid? I need something to help me with my energy is so bad I just can't keep my eyes open all day so any and all subjestions please I'm open to vitamins but no PRESCRIPTION DRUGS no more after yesterday the day I had and also watching INTERVENTION the show WOW scared the c*** out of me.

Some people with thyroid conditions do much better following gluten free diet. Would be good if you can be tested for celiac. Sometimes celiac and thyroid occur together. Hope this helps. btw, all caps means you are "yelling". Lower case is generally fine and easier for us to read.

What your doc should have told you in addition to what you were told (popcorn, etc), is that you need to follow a high fiber diet. Take a look at any site including www.****.com that will give you suggestions on eating a high fiber diet. It's hoped that by doing so it will help to keep the pockets you've developed in your large intestine clean and free of infection.
