All These Diets!

[moa]

i'm reading a lot about all these diets, i believe i have celiac, i have every symptom and feel much better in the past three days of eating absolutely no gluten and using no wheat products on my face or anything, than i have in a while...any ways back to the diet thing...has anyone heard of Dr. Mercola's no grain diet...or his new book Dr. Mercola's total health program? From what i saw he cuts out all grains...he had like 150 recipes for no grain meals...and talks about why they are bad...it kinda reminded me of the scd thing, and i was just wondering if anyone had any other info on it, if anyone has tried it or could give me more info...wondering what the difference is between them. Thanks! I'm praying for everyone on this site!

God Bless,

I haven't heard of that one specifically, but I've been reading more and more about grains being bad. I'm currently trying the SCD so might go over to look at some of the recipes.

By-the-way, thanks for praying for me!

I started restricting my total grain intake a couple of months ago. I eat mostly fruit, veggies, meat and fish. I am celiac and also have DH. While the celiac diet cleared up my problems, everything from neuro to GI, I was still getting DH sores and it was almost impossible to get them to totally clear. I always had at least one that was active. They are now totally gone. For the first time since I was 5 years old I do not have an open, oozing, ugly sore somewhere on my body. I am not as vehement about all grains as I am about gluten but it seems to have done me a great deal of good to eat like a omnivorous animal rather than a bird.

Through trial and error these past 9 months gluten-free, I have cut out all of the other grains, except sorghum, which I only eat once or twice a week--and never 2 days in a row. Eliminating gluten only worked fine initally, but the other intollerances soon made themselves known. I do best with meats, veggies, fruits, nuts (not peanuts), olive oil, pure water and dark chocolate as a treat. I find that grains--corn and rice --tend to cause gas and bloating. Soy is also a problem, and peanuts because they are related to soy. I don't follow any formal diet, but I think, from what I read, that what I eat is close to the "Caveman" type diet. I am not perfectly rigid in it, but stick to this way of eating 95% of the time.
