Hi ya'll... i dont know how many other people are heavily into dietary experimentation, but I track a log on how i feel in relation to what I eat.
I wanted to let you know that Its been 3 weeks on a vegetarian, dairy free, minimally processed celiac (gluten-wheat free) diet..
iknow that sounds restrictive.. but its really not.
and I am down to 4mgs prednisone
i have also had enough energy to exercise daily.. and the inflammation has seemed to be reduced significantly..
here are my meds
4mgs prednisone (down from 10)
2 naproxen (off of vicadin)
and i havent had enbrel in 2 weeks
15mg MTX down from 20
i have been frying up a lot of tofu and kale, and making gluten free pizza w/soy cheese and cookies with rice flour
try it out
That's awesome that you're feeling so much better and have been able to start decreasing your meds! I've thought about trying a similar type of diet, but by the time I get home from work, I just don't have the energy to prepare and cook a meal. That, and I don't think I'm in the right mind frame right now to make that kind of a dietary change. But I am THINKING about it! :)
hi sophista
ive been on this diet for a long time (hubby and daughter cant eat gluten dairy or eggs) but we do eat chicken and fish. its difficult to say how good it is for me because i cant remeber clearly what it was like not to eat like this.
Ive got so used to the soya milk now that i find cows milk really disgusting. by accident someone gave my daughter something with butter in it a couple of weeks ago and she vomitted.... arrrh
