We live 12,000 miles apart, lead completely different lives and yet both suffer from very similar pain issues.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-45262229992720263772017-02-02T19:25:20.488+00:002017-02-02T19:25:20.488+00:00https://www.facebook.com/groups/415313751866609/?f...https://www.facebook.com/groups/415313751866609/?fref=nf<br />This is the link to the group, wanted to give you with right one, as there are several out there. It is well moderated by some lovely people. I'm not sure how much you can see without joining, or you may not be a Facebook person. <br />Here is the website of the Vet that started the group. http://turmericlife.com.au/getting-started/Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-77689503548885682762017-02-02T12:18:01.622+00:002017-02-02T12:18:01.622+00:00Thank you for this information Karen.

I have heard a little bit about the use of Turmeric before, but not yet investigated it and I am willing to try most anything! <br /><br />We are only doing the re-introductions, partly because I want to ascertain whether gluten and dairy specifically have an adverse effect, especially as I am going to be away from home for six weeks. If have an idea I can know whether to definitely avoid or not. Once home again I will return to similar to what the Whole30 is, although will trip the AIP. <br /><br />Thank yo for your visit and comment.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-71335634916762160182017-02-02T01:19:36.632+00:002017-02-02T01:19:36.632+00:00That is a bit, well more like a lot, disappointing...That is a bit, well more like a lot, disappointing after doing a Whole 30. I did one myself two years ago. My main goal was weight loss, which was very successful for me, and I have mostly maintained that. I definitely noticed less stiffness and heartburn was gone, as well as a few aches and pains. <br />We did not do the reintroduction, we just continued on with a Paleo type eating plan.<br /> There is something called the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) that eliminates the nightshades as you mentioned, and also nuts and seeds, eggs and dairy. Another thing I thought I throw out there is Golden Paste. Don't know if you have heard of it, but it is made with Turmeric, (not Curcumin) oil and black pepper. There is an excellent group on Facebook called the Turmeric Users Group that was started by a Vet in Australia. Tons of anecdotal evidence of relief of pain for both animals and humans. I don't know if it would help in your situation, but I thought, well it can't hurt to mention it!<br />I cannot imagine what you go through on a daily basis:-(Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-58087651189598786522017-02-01T18:49:13.388+00:002017-02-01T18:49:13.388+00:00Thanks for your thoughts.

I had virtually eliminated gluten from my diet before starting this - certainly had eliminated bread, and did have some relief from bloating, stomach problems and a 'heavy feeling' under the eyes by doing so. I do know quite a few people have had good success form eliminating gluten so it is worth trying.<br /><br />Good luck to you!Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-55472290388290312652017-02-01T18:47:28.430+00:002017-02-01T18:47:28.430+00:00The puzzles are fun.

Thank you for your prayers, I am always hopeful and come April after I get back from NZ I will try also eliminating all nightshades as well to see if that makes any difference.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-36562313265816561712017-02-01T18:46:36.059+00:002017-02-01T18:46:36.059+00:00Thank you for commenting on my 'moany' pos...Thank you for commenting on my 'moany' post - I try not to, but sometimes it just has to come out.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-7152734340704999432017-02-01T18:46:09.585+00:002017-02-01T18:46:09.585+00:00I keep reading about such startling results as wel...I keep reading about such startling results as well, I was so hopeful!Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811594279356769253.post-763597184282458422017-02-01T07:12:21.573+00:002017-02-01T07:12:21.573+00:00I'm sorry your experiment hasn't been as s...I'm sorry your experiment hasn't been as successful as you hoped. I'm on day 8 of eating no bread and my joints don't hurt as much as they did. Probably coincidence but. I'm keeping going for now x my friend has just been diagnosed with ME after years of suffering. She is gluten and lactose intolerant and eating wheat will cause her discomfort so she chooses to avoid it.
