I think that there may have been people with wheat/gluten allergies that have had some arthritis
like symptoms. I don't think that it led to arthritis though.
Do you have those symptoms after eating a lot of non-gluten type starches? Things like potatoes, rice, etc?
It's been so long since I was really into the fine details of food. For a while I was a vegetarian. I've seen some things work for some people. But I also heard/read a lot of real horse poo.
I remember some guy saying he had "purified" his body so much that all he needed was clean air. Needless to say someone took a picture of him in a restaurant having a nice large meal,
with meat.
Someone once told me that Dunkin Donuts was so bad for you that it took
at least three days to leave your body. I guess that the other food just jumped through those donut holes.
My key to good health, aside from eating whole grain products and lots of vegetables along with my meats, is to enjoy life as best as I can. I've seen over and over how stress/unhappiness/despair can lead anyone,
regardless of diet, to ill health and an early grave.
I had a neighbor die from a bleeding ulcer in his early forties.
My prescription is a sure fire winner/no-looser plan. Live well and try to be happy. Even if you die young, you lived well and were happy. I look on food as a hobby, enjoy it. It doesn't rule me.
Or worry a lot about what you eat and be miserable.
Something that most of you
REALLY do not want to read.
