This person has asked for help in a couple of spots now. Can we give him a shot of concentrated information to get him going in the right, gluten free direction? Thanks.

Danceswithwolves,

I too am new to this gluten-free diet but I have been following Dr. D'Adamo's Blood Type Diet for about 2 yrs now and I have learned a few things about making healthy food a bit more convenient. There is a thread entitled "Food Questions" where you will find some great suggestions--in addition to mine! LOL! Forgot to mention papadums on that thread-a great tasting Indian chickpea flour crispy bread. I get mine from an Indian grocery store.

I strongly encourage you to have a look at www.dadamo.com. Each of us is unique and one way in which we differ is our blood type, which is our tissue type. We know food interacts with our bodies, well, some foods cause a bad reaction in people of one blood type but not for someone with another blood type. The diet has been around for a long time, not one of those fad diets, and it is based on sound science. I can say that because I am a scientist! I have felt much better following this diet and it was through this diet that I realized I had a problem with first wheat, then gluten, and with milk products, etc. Since they were avoids for my blood type, O, I "eliminated" them a couple yrs ago and am certainly glad I did since now I know I am gluten (and casein)-sensitive, if not celiac. When I say eliminated though, I wasn't checking for the hidden sources of gluten in my life--as I am now. Once you stop eating these things, you react much more strongly to any that does sneak into your diet. So, while I was improving by not eating a lot of other foods that are simply bad for me, and not eating bread and pasta etc, I couldn't seem to gain ground with my recovery because of the remaining gluten.

Hope this helps. I think you'll find that once your healing gets well under way, you won't need the Rxs. I know I've been able to drop quite a few of mine.

Good Luck-

Judi
