Gluten Free Diet

[elephant]

I went to " Whole Foods" and they have gluten free muffins, bread, waffles,bagels......but I was afraid to try them. I think I will try them Wednesday and they are OK then I can start the diet. How pathetic is that....because of my addiction to their muffins!!

LOL-- we're all like little kids at a birthday party, when they see all the goodies and get giggly and silly even before eating them!

Then Sangye, we need to have a "Birthday party" every day! We need to giggle and be silly to keep us sane!

Dee, when you wake up, please go read the posts in the Blood Clots and Wegs thread. Your docs should NOT be telling you to limit vitamin K foods--those are healthy foods that prevent diseases like cancer. They should be adjusting the coumadin to your diet, not the other way around.

I am thinking about giving it a go again now as I've been reading more about the links between autoimmune diseases and gluten and it's not good!

I found this on a website ' Some doctors have found that a higher than normal percentage of patients with autoimmune disorders are allergic to gluten/gliadin and dairy products. Complete avoidance should be tried for at least one month to see if benefits will occur.'

There are lots of references on the net about gluten and vascilitis and gluten and autoimmune disorders.

The only way you'll know is to try it!
