Let us know how grain free goes, please.

Many people swear by AIP. I have tried acupuncture in the past and am planning to do so again soon. It helped to reduce my tinnitus.Lee Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911261310514786271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480140972539070676.post-36096214624568052912019-09-18T05:33:50.481-07:002019-09-18T05:33:50.481-07:00This is fantastic news that will inspire others, I...This is fantastic news that will inspire others, I'm sure. <br />Lee Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911261310514786271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480140972539070676.post-85799071576107314752019-09-18T05:32:58.656-07:002019-09-18T05:32:58.656-07:00Very interesting and thanks so much for what works...Very interesting and thanks so much for what works for you.

Personally I have been off these for years but do find i am much better when I have no grains at all.

Much less fatigue, less pain, sleeping better. If I occasionally lapse and have sugar I flare up pretty quickly. I'm combining it with having 2 lots of 15 minute de-stressing activites per day, doing acupuncture and a gentle walk every day. It's transformed my life, things are beginning to turn around.Teresa Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090965227665438154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480140972539070676.post-27823999106922356862016-03-24T15:45:18.098-07:002016-03-24T15:45:18.098-07:00I was diagnosed with Sjogrens nine years ago and I...I was diagnosed with Sjogrens nine years ago and I am 48. I was miserable, exhausted, my hair was falling out in clumps and then I went on a gluten free diet. I have been gluten free ever since. I have never been on any medication, don't use eye drops or anything else. Just recently I noticed that I would have a reaction to alcohol, so I switched to potato or Tito's vodka if I want a drink, or wine and I am fine with that. The only thing is over the last couple of years I have developed pretty bad osteoarthritis in my hands and I know it is from inflammation, so I have decided to try a completely grain free diet for 30 days and see if this helps. Exercising helps me a lot also, cardio and weights to keep myself strong and maintain a healthy weight.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833952797347932798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480140972539070676.post-64837084477972126682016-03-24T15:44:25.621-07:002016-03-24T15:44:25.621-07:00I was diagnosed with Sjogrens nine years ago and I...I was diagnosed with Sjogrens nine years ago and I am 48.

I've been G'free for over 17 months & I'm feeling fantastic. However I have continued to take plaquinel and pilocarpine, & use eye drops, everyday too. But I feel good! No flares, & not many aches or pains. I highly recommend going G'free with Sjogrens & all of the AID DXsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480140972539070676.post-1869353792504611022015-08-23T17:16:57.999-07:002015-08-23T17:16:57.999-07:00I generally stay away from gluten and notice right...I generally stay away from gluten and notice right away when I do eat it. I try to stay away from dairy and eggs as well and limit sugar as much as possible. One thing I've found is doing hot yoga helps me tremendously. I highly recommend it for fellow Sjogren's sufferers!

Best thing is to go on a gluten, dairy and grain free diet for thirty days then start reintroducing foods to see what is bothering you. I stay away from breads and most pasta.Celianoreply@blogger.com
