For anyone wanting to be sugar-free and gluten-free or if you already are, I invite you to join my Member Group. It's called SugarFreeGlutenFree Commitment. look for it in the Member Groups.

Thanks.

Connie, thanks for the information.

It can be really hard to find groups in the list (a lot depends on which group you "tag" your user group to).

An easy way is to look at Connie's profile and jump there from her list of groups!

BTW, here is a quick link to it!

I currently am eating gluten free. It helps with my MS pain. I don't know if I can also go 100% sugar-free. I eat very little sugar now, but I'd like to join ur group to gain more knowledge

I'm thankful for the interest. Pepperman , you're right, I've noticed it's not easy to find the group. I didn't know I could tag to a group; can I tag more than one group? i'll look around the site more. and thank you for providing a link! you've been very helpful more than once. thanks!

ChrissyH, I was thrilled to see you had joined! I'm not the only member, lol. I don't have MS, but I do have an autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and going gluten free and sugar free does reduce antibodies. Both Gluten and sugar cause inflammation and inflammation raises antibodies. Please feel free to post and maybe you will decide to make the commitment after a while (hope, hope). Thanks for joining!

I would like list of such foods. Im having hard time at trying to research all lables in store's.
I don't eat meat. I would also like to know the processed meats that have the less. My man eats process meat's ( salt preserv )
Thank You

Admiral1cu, I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for meats that are low in salt (sodium)? Or did you mean you want a list of sugar-free/gluten-free foods? I'm sorry it's not clear to me what you meant.

For gluten-free foods, avoid wheat, barley, and I think rye in the ingredients.

For meats with the least sodium (for your man), it's best to avoid processed meats and buy fresh from the meat department. Most processed meats like ham and baloney or canned meats are seriously high in sodium. Reading the labels as you have been doing is a good idea. It should get easier over time. I wish you the best.
