Hi, new member here. I've been suffering with God awful symptoms just like the rest of you and have been doing all kinds of research on this stuff. What I've come across is the book "Life Without Bread" by Wolfgang Lutz and Christian Allan. It truly is a life-changing book. It will really open your eyes and help most of you with your issues i guarantee it. I won't go into detail about it here i just wanted to let you all know because i feel it has had a profound impact on my health and i want to help others, because it so simple and provides so much relief... i feel like my old self again.

I just read the review of this book and it looks really interesting. Thanks for positing this! It looks like it will really be a great addition to my library. Personally I have found I have to tread an even keel and practice moderation with the carb/protein/fat thing since I have tender kidneys that don't want an excess of protein. Nevertheless I have done well veering more towards the low carb diet and certainly do eat my share of fats and oils as well as meat--and whole milk in the form of 24 hour fermented yogurt (to avoid the lactose).

I have noticed with books proposing a nutritional theory that the thing to remember is that we are all a bit different. Its better in my opinion to do trial and error and see what works best for oneself--though it seems eating a lot of greens and staying off processed foods and sugars is best for most everyone.. whether or not one eats a lot of meat vs carbs etc. or not or is a vegetarian. Just wish I could eat beans, fruit, nuts and more eggs and cheese without ill effect!

Yes, I agree. I first believed that food allergies were the problem, or possibly some kind of infection, then maybe Celiacs disease. I tried a Gluten-free Casein-free diet, then the SCD diet. While helpful, it didn't resolve my issues. This book basically takes the SCD diet a bit further by limiting all carbs, including fruits, to 72 grams a day. But its also unique in that it promotes the liberal consumption of fats and protein. truth is, I think everyone can benefit from this diet. I agree we're all biochemically unique in our own way; but i think humans in general are not designed for high carb consumption, which has become glaringly obvious to me at this point

I've read other books that indicate the dangers of a high carb diet (these are not diet books, these are health books). "Life Without Bread" actually confirms this with clinical proof. And its not difficult either. Once you feel the benefits, you won't even question it. Its a must read, its very thorough and will most likely address any skepticisms you might have. Also check out "Good Calories, Bad Calories" another good read.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
