Autoimmune diet is Gluten-free
Sep 08 2008

I've been on the anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, and common allergens-free diet over 2 weeks now and believe it is helping.  I learned that Step one in getting well from my autoimmunedisease is to get my digestive problems taken care of.   That is where the diet comes in.  Already the symptoms are improved.  I'm not 100% yet, but well on my way!  The stomach and intestinal pain and other problems are simply going away! 

I have had energy in these past 4 days!  It's great.  I went hiking Saturday and Sunday.  Today I worked in my yard for 2 hours.  I've not had the energy to do those things for many years.

This diet is making a difference.  Even my skin is a more pink than red today.  Itching is still awful, but I'm expecting it to all clear up with time.

FACTS:  Below are the symptoms of having a wheat intolerance.  I had all but 3 of them.  Now, after being on the diet, most of them have cleared up.  The remaining ones are much improved.  I expect within another 2 weeks to be better still.

  • Weight loss or weight gain
  • Nutritional deficiencies due to malabsorbtion e.g. low iron levels
  • Gastro-intestinal problems (bloating, pain, gas, constipation, diarrhea)
  • Fat in the stools (due to poor digestion)
  • Aching joints
  • Depression
  • Eczema
  • Head aches
  • Exhaustion
  • Irritability and behavioural changes
  • Infertility, irregular menstrual cycle and miscarriage
  • Cramps, tingling and numbness
  • Slow infant and child growth
  • Decline in dental health

Anyone with these symptoms and an autoimmune disease should check out this diet.
