I am not sure where to even begin.....In 2004 started having joint pain. Flare-ups in one joint at a time that would come then go and show up somewhere else. It was always very painful and I never knew when or where it would hit.

Started seeing my doc in 2005 and she never came up with anything other than my inflammation was through the roof. Sent me to a Rheumatologist end of 2005 put me on anti-inflammatories and prednisone and said he thought I had Sjogrens. Inflammation came down ALOT but never went away and at best was 3x what it should have been.

After moving back to AZ and seeing a new Rheumatologist....still no answers, thought it was some type of arthritis - still having flare-ups (had to have the right knee drained twice!) and now new medication - methotrexate. Did nothing. My pain and flare-ups never made sense...so I started keeping track of what I ate. Also....even time I had bread my mouth broke out with ulcers. Had the celiac test done, was told I had to eat wheat products in order for it to show anything, but everytime I did - mouth ulcers.....so I did not eat anymore.

I went gluten free back mid-April......my blood work in May was FINALLY in the normal range for inflammation! I have not had any flare-ups in any joints and no more mouth ulcers. I also have more energy.

I also cannot eat beef or pork....20+ years now because I got SO sick......so yeah...I am feeling VERY restricted on my food intake these days! :-) LOL

Well, just wanted to share.........thanks!

You might find that after being gluten free and healing, you can eat things that made you sick before.

Yeah, I keep thinking about trying some beef.....maybe the grass fed beef..... Everytime I think about it I remember the hospital visits and the intense pain when it all started! I can laugh about it all now though....seems the older I get nothing surprises me much anymore! LOL

We will see......maybe it is time to try again.

Thanks for the info!

That;s what I do, only grass-fed; corn-fed beef destroys me :(

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thank you ! Good to know I am not alone. I am currently on metformin and rybelsus for my diabetes. The last week or so my sugar has been so uncontrolled, more so than before. I am very frustrated and discouraged by all this. I have had days of 317 to a low of 64. I feel terrible. I am getting back on the gluten free wagon, just taking some time, and not seeing results and relief as fast as I had hoped. My stomach is just a mess, sometimes worse than others

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).
