Dr Oz - it's about time!

Turned on today's show. It's all about food sensitivities/ allergies and how their symptoms can be joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, strange rashes and digestive issues. It's about time that it gets out in the mainstream that what you eat can cause your immune system to go nuts and attack bystander cells (aka autoimmune attack)

KUDOS Dr Oz!!!!!!!

I remember some months back he had the same topic. My contribution to this thread is it bad news for me he has had another episode devoted to this. Diet does not affect my RA or symptoms and now if the topic of the illness comes up with anyone who is a fan of his this will be fresh in their minds and I'll have to shut it down, again.
I'm glad you have relief 2scicrazed and your plan works for you, I'm pretty sure by now you are prepared that many will not experience your enthusiasm.

my main problem with dr. oz is that i think he's sensationalistic. i agree with a lot of the information he shares, but i think he could be more appropriate/responsible with it. no matter what, it's good that he's getting people to pay attention to certain health issues.

like beech, new 'fad' kind of episodes like this just mean i have a new round of people to fend off with 'heartfelt suggestions'.

I haven't noticed much of a connection between food and my pain levels.

There is, however, a definite connection between a combination of wheat & dairy and my levels of flatulence. Dairy is fine by itself and bread seems ok by itself. Have regular pizza or a sandwich/burger with cheese and I become noxious.

I try to stay gluten free for my family's sake, lol
