one can get a little too healthy in the search of a cure ! There is a lot I will go without, but that doesn't include freshly baked bread with all that gluten.

interesting read, thanks lily

Interesting article, thanks!

The relationship between the two surely sounds plausable, but as Raglet has said fresh baked bread is just too irresistable! I am a carb junkie..love breads and pastas.

Thanks lily!:flowery: ..very interesting article...I have always found that eliminating wheat from my diet helps.
hope you are keeping well.

However it's very difficult because I love bread!! so thank you raglet & sharon for helping me feel better, instead of being so hard on myself for not having enough willpower! maybe I am 'normal' after all :lol:

love karen x

I went through a period 13 years ago where I went on a gluten free diet for 6 months. First off it is very difficult to do. Wheat is found in several marinade products like Teriaki and from there the list goes on. I did find you can make bread from 2 ancient wheats that don't have the problem gluten. I had to make that bread myself because of something else that was also eliminated from my diet. It was a very dense bread but it sure beat rice bread by a long shot. After 6 months I returned to a normal healthy diet and experienced no changes in my health.

I started a gluten-free diet a year ago, and wrote about it on this website. Basically, my diet is far more an Asian diet than a Western one. It's not just gluten-free but also sugarless and dairy-less. I have slipped off the diet on occasion, especially on weekends, but for five days a week every week I've kept to it. I think that giving my body a full 9 or 10 months of no gluten whatsoever was a very, very good thing. Now it seems I can have a little bit of it, but definitely not daily, and do fine.

I've felt better following this diet than I've felt since I was a kid. So it definitely has made a difference to me. My sedrate has been normal this whole time. I think this is the first time in about 30 years that it's been normal, and it started to go down within a month of starting the diet.

Oh, and the other thing I haven't been able to give up at all is my coffee, with some light cream or Half-and-Half, and a teaspoon of sugar every morning. So, come to think of it, I do cheat the diet daily :hehe:. My dr. told me I was doing so well that it was fine to allow myself my daily coffee pleasure.

Thanks Lily for posting this. :flower2:

2 years before I was diagnosed I tried to follow a gluten free diet as I had IBS and was feeling yucky all the time.

It was hard but helped me lose weight and improved my IBS. Don't think I could stick to it all the time though. I can live without bread but not homemade pasta.........hmmmm.
