Karina is so gifted! <br /><br />Also the puffiness decreases because the puffiness is inflammation. Makes perfect sense to hear your carpal tunnel has improved then.<br /><br />Also, logically speaking, if we know people get beer belly (and it's not just run of the mill fatness, when approaching this from the inflammation perspective), then wheat belly makes the same sense! :)LKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019853375609203048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-50816839158025346032012-10-30T20:18:49.934-05:002012-10-30T20:18:49.934-05:00Sorry If I comment twice...first time here!!!!

I didn't know why I was getting really bad inflammations around those "ladies days", I was overweight really bad around my period and my ovulation time, now I'm normal again. I'm not into diets, not need because my weight never was before a problem and I eat pretty healthy in general, after going GF not more of that ball and around my waist. Yes Big change! The sprays and the chemicals that are used this days in our soils and trying to keep the bugs out are making people sick for sure, more allergies and less strength in the bodies to fight them! soon the cows and the chickens are going to need allergy medicine. Remember that many beers are made with wheat look for the ones that not contains wheat to take to the party!<br />Somebody recommend you glutenfree girl, her story is extreme compared with others like mine, but is good to read it to open our eyes, because doctors are still in denial of how much we are affected from wheat and other sourced of food.20 years ago, milk, eggs, chickens, meat and cereals were a different story.In the process you will discover different flavors, enjoy and embrace your journey!Clauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035702277152210932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-85435141079003754782012-10-30T19:47:15.406-05:002012-10-30T19:47:15.406-05:00Hi, almost first time here, I came before, but did...Hi, almost first time here, I came before, but didn't stick around :(, today I came and see this, and I want to tell you, yes, you will see changes in your body, we are doing it because my husband realize after eating a fresh yummy bread that I made with wheat a few month ago, that he couldn't move, and this happened before plus all his intestines problems,we didn't know what was happening, he feels much better without wheat for sure and I do not get inflammation like before on those "woman" days.

Love it! My favorite blog is Deliciously Organic, and there are lots of paleo blogs that have great recipes too. We drink raw milk, so we haven't cut out dairy (paleo is dairy-free, if I understand correctly), but so many of the paleo recipes work perfectly with gluten-free lifestyle. "Life as a Plate" is a great blog for recipes, Texas Homesteader is another fantastic blog (their whole family did I think the GAPS diet for a year, and she's got some really great recipes as well as awesome information, like Deliciously Organic). Against All Grain, Paleo on a Budget, The Paleo Mom... sorry! I know it's a lot! Most of these have FB pages too. A great book is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Okay I'll stop, this is probably overwhelming. Also, you're right about the gluten causing an inflammation reaction. THANK YOU for your blog! I have learned SO MUCH from you, and I use your actions all the time. My favorite, that I can't live without ; ) is Little Perk. I live near San Antonio, am a homeschooling mom of 4, and a photographer. I've been reading your blog for a really long time, so I already know we have a lot in common and would be great friends!

Three times in a week, all about two hours after eating wheat products. I don't eat a lot of carbs, this happened when I actually ate spaghetti and then pizza. It was unbearable! so I have cut out gluten from my diet, and no rash! And also a lack of my usual stomach pain and other problems! Odd, how you have no clue what is affecting you sometimes!

And Heather, I have heard that some people have to lower their thyroid medicine. I am fine with that!<br /><br />Thanks for all of the links, I will go visit them all. And I am having no problem eating a healthy diet because I am staying away from almost all processed food. Pretty much everything we eat are "real foods". And the best part is we all feel full after we eat because no empty carbs! I don't snack as much, and when I do I grab healthy things.<br />Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859207161677168946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-72004097555071229342012-10-25T12:27:50.800-05:002012-10-25T12:27:50.800-05:00Most of the foods we eat are hughly processed, con...Most of the foods we eat are hughly processed, contain additives and chemical residues.

My mom cut out gluten, and after 20 years on thyroid meds, went hyper, and needed a lower dose. She has Hashi's and had thought there was nothing left of her thyroid at that point, but she was pleasantly surprised :)<br /><br />Our whole family is gluten-free and has been for 6 + years now.

They had horrible bouts with ezema. Once we went Gluten free their skin cleared up within 2 days. My favorite blog for GF recipes is http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/<br />After trying 10 different bread and pizza crust recipes her flour mix and reipces are the best. Note: I use Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Sorghum Flour and Tapioca starch over anything else. I do not like the taste of anything with Cornstarch in it. Happy Eating!<br />Prairie Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780650889795002546noreply@blogger.com
