It is so difficult to find a healthy diet out there that is also gluten-free. I am so limited on the diets out there. Has anyone tried "The best life diet", by Bob Green? I wanted to buy the book but i don't know if i should waste my money if it wouldnt help someone on a gluten-free diet. I need healthy gluten-free options! :rolleyes:

I can't help you about the book, as I haven't seen it. But, when I'm considering a book, if I can get it at the library, I'll check it and review it first before I buy - and IF I buy it, I always try to find a used book online at much less the price of a new book.

As far as the "diet" - iit's really just a matter of learning what is safe to eat and what isn't. It's always good to start out with whole foods such as meat, veggies and fruit, and rice, and then introduce other foods one at a time so you can be certain about what you may or may not be reacting to, if you do react.

Nini, a member on this forum, has a "Newbie Kit" on her website that is very helpful in listing safe and unsafe foods, and other products. Here's a link to her site - scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the link to the Open Original Shared Link

Stick around on this forum and read all you can. You'll be up to speed on the diet very quickly.

      I thought I had osteoprosis but did not find it on my record. I know I have stenosisof the spine. I also have Sarcoidosis and diabetes.

      Diabetes type 1 or type 2? Type 2 diabetes has a statistical correlation with celiac disease.  The B vitamins work in synergy with one another so I still would recommend a B-complex. This may also help your anemia which is evident from your low ferritin, hematocrit and hemoglobin.  Your "chest pain arm pain and burning with increased weakness in my legs" would seem to correspond to the areas of your spine where you have had surgeries. My observation is that spinal surgeries seldom prove to be successful in the long term as they usually don't address underlying degenerative problems.  I will attach embed an article which may be helpful to you in eliminating gluten from your life. There is usually a real learning curve involved in achieving gluten free eating habits on a consistent basis as gluten is hidden in so many food products where you would never expect to find it and can be masked by terminology such "food starch". Eating out is the number one way to sabotage your efforts to eat gluten free as even when you order things that are naturally gluten free they often become cross contaminated with wheat back in the kitchen by being prepared and handled along with wheat containing foods. Another factoid that you need to be aware of is that for mature adults, it typically takes 2-3 years after achieving a consistently gluten free diet for the mucosa of the small bowel to experience complete healing. However, considerable improvement in symptoms usually occurs in a matter or weeks or months.

My other blood work showed low rbc, hemacrit, hemoglobin and Ferrin.  My gastroentologist didn’t say anything just told me to go gluten free and check blood in 3 months. I have had 2 lumbar disc surgeries and 2 cervical spine surgeries

      Welcome to the forum @Tarp! Some more information would be helpful. What is your age? What led you to investigate celiac diagnosis 11 years ago? What were your symptoms then? Do you have osteoporosis/osteopenia? What areas of the spine have been involved with your four surgeries?  As you probably know, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which typically results in malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. This, in turn, can result in bone demineralization and as well as neurological disorders. Because of your spinal surgeries, it might be difficult to sort out what is causing what. Are there nutrient deficiency related neurological problems going on? Are there nerve impingement problems going on from the surgeries? Both? Having said that, it's a pretty safe bet that you would do well to invest in some high potency vitamin and mineral supplementation to address the malabsorption problem. We routinely recommend a high potency B-complex, magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate (not magnesium oxide), D3 (5000 IU daily) and zinc. Most of these in this list are vital to neurological health. Make sure all are gluten free. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland Signature products are a good choice and reasonably priced.
