  1. Muzz: The only way to find out is to go gluten free. Do not rely on doctors to help you with this question. You just need to do it and see if it helps. As for the born with or acquired question, I think most of us here on the forum can trace the onset of their symptoms waay back before they were recognized even by them. I always knew I had digestive...
  2. IBS is just a term that covers up an "underlying issue". When a dr diagnoses someone with IBS I get so pissed! My question is whY! What is causing IBS. They just want to leave it at that. There are many reaons someone develops IBS symptoms and they can be dealt with and your gut healed. Just my 2 cents!
  3. rock on: I am also considering the candida elimination diet, but it does seem like such a big hurdle. Going gluten-free the last two months has been hard enough. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis four years ago. Each Rx they gave me worked for the arthritis but the side effects were terrible. Methotrexate nearly killed me (I declined...
  4. Well, I read all the labels, and have googled label interpretation and reading, and none of the info I have found mentions anything about such things as "modified starch 1440". Can anyone help me with the ingredients which are not actually food?? I think I saw somewhere in a post on here some "bad" numbers mentioned but I have been unable to find that post...

I blame it on the fact that all the corn in the U.S. is GM, either by design or CC. We are still fighting the GM battle down here but are slowly losing. All our beef is free range to my knowledge. Grass we have plenty of! ...
  6. Yes, you get so used to the pain you are astonished when it vanishes. I think the reason alleopathic doctors are not more understanding of these problems is that they have so little training in nutrition. Here in New Zealand I think it's about six hours! in basic medical training. My naturopath says that my whole GI system is inflamed, which would certainly...
  7. Our builder had ankylosing spondylitis and maintained a strict gluten free and vegan diet, and some research I did previously indicated that AS should always be treated with GFD. It was because of him that I decided to try a GFD for my psoriatic arthritis.
  8. I have been consecutively diagnosed (five years ago) with polymyalgia rheumatica, then rheumatoid arthritis (symptoms of both) followed by psoriatic arthritis when the psoriasis later appeared. Have also had gout. Father was diagnosed with polymalgia, sister and her daughter both celiacs. I was also previously diagnosed with IBS, fibromyalgia and various...
