    That is why I am looking at getting information on this supplement. I have already adjusted my diet by first going gluten-free and then going further by going strict Paleo to great success as to getting my RA to back down and my gut to settle. The thing with my safe foods list at this point, coupled with the osteopenia numbers on the bone scan and all my...

    I just got my bone density numbers and have osteopenia. My metabolic panel was good otherwise. I am looking for supplements for D Calcium and Magnesium because I am sticking with strict paleo as I am not tolerating much of anything else at this point. I have dropped nearly 20 pounds in the last 6 weeks and have upped my protein intake in hopes of slowing...

    I'm repeating myself more and more. Started gluten-free in November and started not feeling worse. Started Paleo with no grains in January and started to feel much better. Had a breakdown of resolve this week and had a handful of Fritos Sunday. Monday my rheumatoid arthritis, which is secondary to my celiac, was the worst it had been since going paleo. I...

    I can only guess that you have gone "Paleo" mostly by your reference to fruit, veggies and meat. Have you been on the lookout for soy in things like tuna fish packed in water? I found that even though nuts were supposedly OK that I cannot tolerate beans, peas, peanuts, tree nuts or any other legumes and that I have gone spice free for the time being. Keep...

    Amen to this. I am one of those ignorant Americans who searched this for years and fought medication for my Rheumatoid Arthritis in spite of the pressure from my Rheumatologist who was pushing Humira and Enbrel and many other things at me at every turn as my RA kept getting worse.... until I was blessed enough to have a wife who had an epiphany that this...

    Don't sign me up for it. I have a hard time believing it would work without long term complications and I wouldn't want to be the one they have to figure out those complications on. It already took four decades for them to figure out I have this in the first place. No thanks! Chuck

    Then I guess it's possible to be mildly pregnant or partly dead. I agree with the late stage early stage assessment as a better description. From what you have said about the pain you have had over the years I would say it is only beginning to manifest itself in ways that even a DOCTOR can finally recognize. You are here asking because you probably already...

    Many similarities and relatively new to this as well. The gluten free regimen seemed to keep me from feeling worse initially but I kept finding that there were "safe" foods that made me much worse. Not sure where the leaky gut comes in but I would have major heart palpitations after meals and my rheumatoid arthritis would flare much worse. Felt like I had...

    Lots of tuna fish packed in water actually uses soy in the processing. You might want to avoid it if not sure and go with fish you know doesn't contain it. Many nuts, especially not raw ones, are roasted in peanut oil and if you are having problems with peanuts which are a legume this might also be why they are problematic. I know that I was beginning to...

    Have you been checked for autoimmune disorders? I know I came to this whole world by first having been dx'd for rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren's syndrome (which causes me problems with respiratory lubrication, dry eyes and breathing problems when it's real bad,) and high but questionable lupus numbers. These are all unusual for men in the general population...

    I appreciate this observation greatly. The sicker I became the more desperate my composing became. I couldn't sleep at night, I think at times to avoid the pain of having to wake up with not only rheumatoid arthritis but also what I now undersand as the pain and brain fog of celiac. Now that I have been gluten free I have no desire to compose although the...

    ARCHIVED Caveman?

    chasbari replied to weeza's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I too am newly diagnosed. Have been gluten free since right before Thanksgiving but was still having problems with foods that are supposed to be safe. Grains and things. I also would eat only because it was time even though I had that bloat all the time. Went Paleo last month and cannot believe how much better I am feeling. I had forgotten what it meant to...

    Sorry. Yes, I meant "M" as in miracle. Since going on the Paleo diet several weeks ago I am not only feeling much better than the gluten free only diet but my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and my Sjogren's syndrome symptoms have improved greatly. 3 months ago I was barely walking and if I sat down it was as good as starting the day over. I wasn't sleeping...

    This is my first post here as I am newly diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy. Personally this analogy makes a lot of sense to me. I had GI issues clear back in high school and concommitant joint pains from early childhood as well. Things would come and go. Almost twenty years ago I had an ear nose and throat doctor who put me on a restricted diet because of...
