    You know most of us want to hurt you, right? LOL. You must have an amazing metabolism. I could never fast before... not even 8 hrs... until I got my macro numbers in order! The very low carbs are the key, for me, I think. My body was just so carb dependent, it kept making me hungry so I would eat more! NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would...

    Excellent Post! Lots of links to help you learn! New changes at our house. We have been Keto (low carb/high fat/mod protein [LCHF]) since November. My weight wasn't coming off as it should. I have now started IF(Intermittent Fasting) and am really noticing the difference this week. The Keto way of eating is naturally gluten-free and keeps carbs...

    Gemini, you certainly WERE on a roll. Firstly, the book was not the original Wheat Belly, BUT Wheat Belly Total Health as I stated. I'm not sure if you actually read either book, but the physiological/metabolical pathways are described fully in the Total Health book. It's not made up or fear mongering. It's science. I'm a nurse and it has been fascinating...

    I am reading a book right now that has YOU written all over it! It is Wheat Belly- Total Health by William Davis, MD. All grains, and not just wheat are extremely damaging. YOU seem to fit this totally. Even though you are avoiding wheat, you are having TERRIBLE symptoms. Rice, millet, sorghum, corn, etc., are all causing problems in the human race...

    Eating plenty of fat and eating low carb, stops all cravings! It's amazing! Debbie

    Have you done a true eliminaton diet for 3-4 wks? You probably have more than just gluten affecting you. We did that and found several things that irritated my husband that he never realized! Tomatoes was a shocker! It's after you stop ALL the inflammatory foods, then add them back 1 at a time, that you really feel which ones are bothering you. He...

    My anxiety/depression has decreased greatly in recent years. I am over 3 yrs gluten-free now (I'm 59yrs old). I'm off all my medication. I never had the panic over health issues, though. I'm a recently retired nurse, so I have lots of stuff running around in my head too! Recently we have done the AIP lifestyle and found many things that triggered both...

    I just thought of another thing... MOLD. Mold toxins can mess up just about every system in the body, especially when you may have other autoimmunity problems! Mold can cause you to overract to other things and cause antibodies to overcome your system. Have you been diagnosed with Sjogren's? That was my first diagnosis. The Eye Dr. did the paper test...

    You have a heavy burden. You've definitely gotten some good advice already. I had a negative blood test for gluten sensitivity, but had gone mostly gluten-free and didn't want to go back as I felt so sick on gluten. Over the past 3 yrs, more symptoms have popped up and I've eliminated 1 food after another. I have weight to lose as well. I have lost some...

    I have been doing a lot of reading and seminar watching lately. When we are sensitive to gluten(my blood test was negative), remove it and feel better, we think we have it nailed. I felt so much better immediately and lost 20#. Yet, I still have these nagging health problems like intermittent abdominal pain, joint pain, brain fog, neuropathies that come...

    If you read up on Sjogren's... it's far more than dry mouth and eyes! I have regular bouts of pleuracy, muscle aches, neuropathies in various places, abnormal fingernails, pain in joints that travels around, inflammation of gums, throat and hard palate, peeling skin, dry lips, thinning hair, plantar fasciitis, bad breath... the list goes on and on! I had...

    I am going to the Dr tomorrow to see about a diagnosis. I have had insomnia for YEARS! I got so bloated last week that I finally did a little "elimination test" of my own... BINGO! I felt better after 12 hrs off gluten! I've been reading like crazy and eliminating things from my diet. I'm a nurse, so I have to have myself half diagnosed before posing...
