I read if you eat gluten, it can take anywhere from three weeks to six months to stop reacting to it. That was my experience, too. People tend to give up on a gluten-free diet because they don't understand this. And those cross-reactors will act just like gluten. You are a big rice eater...rice is not good for people who have gastrointestinal issues. High in carbohydrates and not well tolerated by many. Since you eat so much of it, this would be an issue of concern. I don't know...just brainstorming.<br /><br />I hate it you feel so horrible!The Multiple Chemical Survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459073982236135107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452599540321027406.post-20984135076551825162014-11-09T23:19:50.441+08:002014-11-09T23:19:50.441+08:00Good lord, that doctor loves his poisons, doesn...Good lord, that doctor loves his poisons, doesn't he? Good for you for just saying NO to drugs!<br /><br />Isn't Crohn's just the autoimmune disease for IBS? You might want to look into that and check the diet. Also check cross-reactors to gluten: rice, barley, etc. You could be having blood sugar issues too, which would cause the insomnia, stay away from carbohydrates including sugar. Welcome to my diet...sorry. Do the GAPS diet to heal a leaky gut. Difficult to say since we are all so different, but it sounds like it's all about gastrointestinal for you and that means food issues.<br /><br />Don't give up, my sweetie! I read on Skip not too long ago. I can't remember what he's selling, but I think determination will get us through all kinds of shit regardless of what he wants you to buy. Stories like that give us inspiration and keep us from feeling hopeless and I think no one understands the brain and all it can do to heal us. So what were "E's" secrets? Did he share anything concrete?The Multiple Chemical Survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459073982236135107noreply@blogger.com
