Gluten Free And Feeling Better!

[dizzygrinch]

Hello all! just wanted to update here. I have been gluten free since October, and I have to say I feel 70% better! I still have issues, but not as bad. I still have "arthritis" although I was hoping that would be better, and I am pre-diabetic, but nothing that exercise and diet wont help. The toughest part is finding the gluten free foods, but its getting better. I have been referred to a wonderful GI doc, and even though the soonest they can see me for endo and colonoscopies is the middle of March, I told them Im not going to eat gluten, and they completely understand. In fact, they just want to make sure there is nothing else going on with me as well, but so far, Im doing so much better eating gluten free, that if I never get a difinitive diagnosis, it doesnt matter. A positive diet result is good enough for me! I just hope I continue to get healthier, this has been my new years resolution!

I hope things continue to improve. It took over six months for my arthritis to go into remission so I hope soon it does the same for you. If you can get your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist sometimes they can speed things up a bit and get you moving better. It is hard to motivate to move when it hurts to do so and they can help.
