Mine too, but also said that there really hadn't been any evidence of the diets affecting the disease. I mean if Paleo would be a miracle cure for Wegs then it should be pretty quick to notice. Why use CTX and other poisons if you could fix everything with just cutting off the wheat.
However I do try to choose gluten-free alternatives. I heard having an auto-immunity disorders makes it 4x as likely to develop another one, so a this dietary expert suggested it might be a good idea to be a bit wary of gluten. I haven't really noticed a change if I eat regular pasta or gluten-free pasta, the former just tastes a lot better
That said I've tried to cut down on my grain intake and instead it more fresh fruit and vegetables as I'm on a high pred dose and don't want to go up 15kg like I did last time I was on high dosage. Been a vegetarian since the age of 5 so no meat or fish.
