Asthma? What asthma? Mood
Saturday, January 17, 2009
Okay Believe it or not I take No Asthma meds right now and I have had no symptoms of asthma.  My breathing is so much calmer and quieter.  I am unaffected by cold air and strong smells.  My peak flow has increased from a personal best of 400 to 550!!!!  I have lost 45lbs. and I wear a size 16.  I feel great and I can move so much easier.  I can even run in short sprints without gasping for breath.  Going gluten free has been challenging but it has been a process too.  I am thankful for friends and family and their support!  I still have not gone to the doctor yet.  As I see no need to go at this time!  Yippeee!!!

    Wow..That's wonderful! It's great to have the support of family and friends, but you did this by yourself and you should be very proud. You decided to change your life and you went for it.....Kudos to you!

    I did it with the support of my family and friends. I did also do it without my primary doctors blessing. He told me that he did not think that going gluten free would help me very much. My pulmonologist however did say that he would be intrested to see what would be the result. In defence of my primary doctor he is about the same age as I so I think maybe he was hessitant to advise this diet for me. I have had the testing for celiac disease and it was negative. He did not say not to try it. Going off my meds was also my choice but when I saw such a lack in symptoms and a jump in my peak flow I said well maybe I can do without them. I carry my Albuterol just in case but I don't need it! Thanks for you replies they mean alot to me!
