    uncle had massive heart attack today..his daughter is one of the cousins who found the celiac in the family. wonder if his heart attack was from years of damage to his system. he's not that old. my rheumy appt. went much better yesterday. he still refuses to believe that diet has anything to do with it but I know better lots of vegetables and fruits...
  2. Feeling really good lately. I've stayed away from wheat and all its derivatives and it's making a huge difference. I'm able to exercise more and sleep better. Everything is going well. yea!
  3. dang. I had gluten last night. That really aggravates me not only for my intestines but for my RA. Now I have to start all over with today as Day One. Today is a strict vegan, gluten-free day!
  4. constipation is getting a little better, no bleeding today! I'm still eating vegetarian. It helps with both gluten and RA. I've been eating a lot of raw foods lately, fruits, including figs, dates, raisins, bananas, and lots of carrots, cucumbers, celery. I'm still very fatigued this week. I got the ok to lower my MTX to 6 a week instead of 7. PA...
  5. yesterday turned out well. I had rice, carrots and cucumbers for dinner last night. Today I have a really bad headache, probably gluten withdrawal. I did a full qigong workout last night, felt wonderful. Today son starts his drama class for the semester so we'll be traveling and eating out. I'm going to take him to Hu Hot, they have an allergy sheet...
  6. full day 2 without gluten. Feeling better on that front, I've been eating a lot of fresh vegetables and lean meats, pecans, raisins and prunes. My increase in mtx. is awful, I feel drugged again this week and can hardly stay awake and when I sleep, I have a terrible time waking up. I thought about ordering a pizza for an easy dinner...duh. It's...
  7. I'm feeling better this morning. I still had some pain in the right side area last night but I slept very well and don't feel as fuzzy minded this morning. Today is my MTX day so that will change I don't have a clue what I want to eat for breakfast. I'm not even hungry but I have to eat to take my meds. If I can still function after that I think...
  8. oh, what a year! I've neglected my diet for celiac disease trying to get my RA straightened out. I was bedridden much of late summer and felt awful the rest of the time. I have never been in so much pain as I've been this year. In October I finally saw a rheumatologist who gave it to me straight, either take the meds or die about 15 years younger than the...
  9. today is going pretty well. I had my yearly mammogram this morning :(I hate those....I had to take a nap this afternoon but made a good dinner of ham, mashed potatoes and creamed corn. I was in a starchy comfort mood :)I am feeling a lot better eating gluten free. The doctor gave me a week to see if it would help my RA. I had to go stricter with my starches...
  10. I've been sooooo busy! Son is working in one town 70 miles away and playing football in a different town 65 miles away and we're in school already. I've not had much time for internet or anything else lately.Gluten free is going really well. I've been surprised at how easy it is once I got into it. I've shed some of my prednisone weight which is nice...
  11. been doing well. got thru dh's birthday unscathed. it's been a very busy few days and I really haven't had time to do much other than chores and errands.I'm off prednisone for 3 days now and I'm already losing weight and my appetite has gone down quite a bit. yea!went to eat out yesterday and just about messed up, luckily I caught it in time and did ok...

    last couple of days have been good gluten-free-wise. ra has been awful. i've done some walking, that's always good. ds liked the gluten-free bread, I thought it was too heavy. we both liked the flavor of the pancakes but again, it was too heavy for me. I think I would prefer to do without the substitutes, ds would like them again.very tired this morning...

    some people are brilliant..... i went to a fast food restaurant today, ordered a cheeseburger, no bun of course, with lettuce, onion, tomato. they bring it out in the little dish, and had placed the cheese on the bottom of the burger! so basically it was stuck to the dish and I had a hamburger. didn't realize I had to tell them how to do that even......

    well, had a rough night. I had wheat yesterday and boy, did I pay for it. All night long my stomach ached and cramped. It's also kicked up my ra, could hardly get out of bed this morning. I can't wait to get off prednisone next month!I made myself some scrambled eggs with a little cheese. put a little miracle whip on that and had a glass of orange juice...
