By now, if you've been following this blog faithfully, you've all but blacklisted wheat out of your diet. This is probably due to the sheer fact you have less painful flare ups when you do.

She also mentioned that her doctor tested her for wheat sensitivity and tests showed a positive indicator to this. "But everything has wheat! I don't know what to eat!" she exclaimed as we talked. "I am constantly finding myself eating wheat because there is nothing else!" "Then, I find myself in more pain again!" Well, there are other items available I explained. After all, we all succumb to this ready, available food source each week at the grocery.
"You just have to learn to prepare foods ahead of time," I explained. "And, be on the look out for gluten-free preparations at your store front." I also added, since her blood sugar was rising, that she read Wheat Belly by William Davis M.D. I promised her more added vigor if she'd just give my dietary plan a try.
