Sleep Apnea Is Gone! Crazy!

Not sure where this topic should go, but wanted to share. Our whole house has been gluten-free for 18 mos due to kids and I being celiac. Hubs came along by default. ;) he is a slim guy, no weight problems, active. But he has had moderate to severe sleep apnea for a good 10 years. He finally got a CPAP last year. Being gluten-free didn't make a difference, being casein free for several months helped his sinus issues, but not the apnea. But, he went Primal about a month ago and I suddenly realized yesterday he doesn't snore or stop breathing anymore. He hasn't worn his CPAP in weeks (cuz he hates it of course) and usuaally I spend the night rolling him over and kicking him to start breathing. Not restful for either of us! But...for weeks now..blessed silence. Last night I listened a long time...quiet easy breathing.

Just astounds me the power inflammatory foods have on the body! Maybe he was sensitive to just one grain, maybe all. Maybe it was all grains and dairy. Don't know. But clearly, something he was eating was causing major inflammation in his sinuses.

Why on earth can doctors not start seeing the role diet plays in a persons health?

Incidentally, got the final $400 bill for the CPAP this week. I am tempted to give it back and keep the $400!

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
