Degnerative Disc Disease and Gluten

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if there's evidence that back problems such as degenerative

discs are related to automimmune diseases like Hashimoto's or Celiac. If so,

does a gluten-free diet help the back?

Thanks for the info.  I will look that

over.  I eat almost no grains because they are all too hard on my

sugar.

Betty, I would strongly recommend reading the

Wheat Belly book, or at the least, go to

wheatbellyblog.com. It tells you how to rid yourself

of wheat and other grains. The main points of eating

this way is also there. Search around the site. I

think you will be very surprised by all the things it

can help. I've lost weight, gotten rid of my

arthritis, gotten rid of my low blood sugar

problems,have clearer thinking,and feel so much

happier since I started this way of eating.I will

never go back to eating grains. Just don't eat the

gluten-free foods that are out there. They are full of

junk. Try it for at least 4 weeks and you will see

what I mean. Let me know of your progress if you do.

I'd

sure like to see any answers to this post.

I have Graves and Hashimoto's as well as

type 1 diabetes and a few other things.  I

have a lot of degenerative disc problems. 

Yesterday the doctor I am seeing for the

thyroid suggested gluten free diet and I

don't even know how to begin such.

I have digestive problems, which I never

discussed with the doctor but if gluten free

would help that it would be worth it.  As

for the thyroid problems I don't think it

is.  I didn't realize until after I had left

the doctor's office, looking at the papers

she gave me didn't even realize she had

suggested gluten free.  Don't know anything

about celiac problems.

Looking for comments to this.

Hi Betty -

Here is a GREAT blog that has helped me go gluten free (she has a section titled

" how to go gluten free " near the top in one of the headers), and she also posts

lots of great gluten-free recipes.

If you live somewhere where you can get the special flours, etc., I know

Amazon.com has a large selection of gluten free items.

Hope this helps!
