Good News From My Doctor! Im Getting Better!

[dizzygrinch]

I just wanted to spread some of my happy news, I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with rhumotoid (sp) arthiritis, and now, all my blood tests came back normal! I explained to my dr. about how I have been gluten free since October, and he said he has actually seen cases where the inflammation clears up, after being gluten free. I still have pain in joints, he said sometimes it takes a while, but, I am getting better! Whoo hoo!!

Fantastic, I had the same experience. They had me on all kinds of pills none of which did much good. The diet was the ticket for me and it sounds like it was for you too. I did some research after I had my genes tested a couple years after my celiac diagnosis and that was when I found that my celiac gene is considered an RA gene here in the states. It makes me feel so bad for those with RA that have 'IBS', which many do. The diet might help so many of them if doctors would just get the word out.

Thanks all! Ravenwoodglass, that is interesting about the gene testing. Im going to follow up with my doc next month, Im still getting scoped next week, but she mentioned we might still do gene testing. Im wondering what that will uncover..but, all in all, I love being gluten free!
