I had a huge craving for McDonalds fries now to give you a little recent history I have been gluten free for about 12 weeks and my pain level decreased by about 90% and my raynauds and Neuropathy has not given me a problem since. My fibro fog has parted and I have felt great. I then ate those ^(^%^& fries and let me tell you I am still trying to rid my system of the affects. I realize that fibro is cyclical but it was an immediate response. I have been over tired and not able to sleep again and my fog is trying to come back. I hope the gluten gets out of my system quick.
Just thought I would share.

It has helped somewhat with the pain, certainly with the IBS symptoms, and yes, the fibro fog is even close to what it used to be.
Hang in there with the gluten free diet, as I am sure they has to be a connection there in the way we feel.
I would just LOVE to have a piece of brad, but I find alternative ways of getting my 'bread fix'. I just scoot on past the fast food places, as I don't even trust the cross contamination, that may be there.
NOW, if I could just figure out which meds, vitamins,etc. have wheat in them, I would be a happy camper. Especially, any capsule with a plastic coating really scares me.
If you have come up with a way to figure out which meds/vitamins are gluten free, I would appreciate the info. THANKS!
