Going To Start Gluten Free Today, Need Suggestions

As I went gluten free about 6 weeks ago for a month and had a very hard time (pain, pain pain in my joints, muscles and no improvement of symptoms) i am very anxious to try again. However, someone suggested i may have other food issues...So I am going to try a very basic diet. Question: Should I avoid gluten free cereals and crackers? Gluten free bread? I have no idea what to eat for breakfast and lunch, any suggestions?

thanks

ada

oh yes, and im sure others will chime in here too- because of cross contamination & because many of us are somewhat intolerant to most grains- it would be a good idea for u to start your gluten free journey with a very natural diet- lean meats & fish, veggies, fruits... you may also have to eliminate dairy .. you can try to add different grains in later when you're feeling better-

but yes- many of us feel better without grains. the first month i went gluten free- i went CRAZY with the gluten free cookies & treats, cereals, and breads- i was still a little bloated- and PUT ON 7 pounds <_<

not pushing any names on u- but i know of at least 3 different docs out there with books with totally different outlooks that all claim the grains can be inflammatory...

when i hear the same thing from several different sources- AND i experience it- i know there's something to it.

i, personally, feel much better on a natural whole foods meats,veggies,fruits diet.... with maybe rice 2x a week.

you should try it out for a little while-> give your body a break from the grains

others on here will suggest to u a "specific carbohydrate diet" which i dont really know anything about.

good luck :)

PS- i feel best starting the day with a 1 egg omelette with spinach or broccoli! full till like 1pm. but also keep in mind- sometimes when the body is healing it could take 3-4 weeks for your body to feel ok with ANY food.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
