Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Stress will make your pain worse as well so keep that in mind. I have fibromyalgia and I used to get stomach aches which I would " cure " crackers or a piece of bread ! Going gluten free helped my pain a lot. Just remember that wheat isn't the only culprit. Buckwheat, millet (toasted in a dry pan before cooking), quinoa (rinsed really well) amaranth, teff and wild rice are OK for me. PS By the way, when I went off wheat my stomach hurt and felt " raw " for at least a week.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks, KarryAnn. I hope it doesn't get too awful as I just started a new job! but I need to do this. Can you recommend anything to help my body handle the detoxing? Dawn KerryAnn at CookingTF.com wrote: > > > Today I am having some moderately painful IBD which I haven't had like > > this in ages.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 > Can you recommend anything to help my body handle the detoxing? Digestive clays like Pascalite are what helped me the most. And a good digestive enzyme also stopped a lot of my stomach complaints as well.
