I gad IBS which I think played a large part of my vulvodynia. I got

rid of it with N-A-G- (N-Acetyl-Glucosamine).

I also went on the low-oxalate diet and it helped my vulvodynia.

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm seriously considering going gluten free

next week and also cutting waaaaaaaaaaay back on my dairy. That will

be tough because cheese is my favorite food!

Has anyone had problems with weight gain? I seem to keep putting on

2-3 lbs and cannot lose it! And this is despite 50 minute cardio

workouts 5x a week. Just curious if this is common amongst others..

The only cheese I can eat is cottage cheese because all the others

cause my ankles to become swollen. I also love cheese but have given

up everything except cottage cheese.

I always eat some fruit or veggies with my cottage cheese.

I had trouble with weight gain until I realized that it was a result

of eating crackers. I quit eating crackers and lost all my excess

weight. Those things have a lot of salt in them which can prevent

weight loss. I was only eating six or eight a day (crackers in bed

while reading) but I guess they kept the weight going up. I had been

dieting for so many years that when I figured what was preventing me

from losing weight I still had the low-calorie habit and had to remind

myself to eat more to prevent losing weight.

Holding onto weight despite exercise - another sign of gluten

intolerance. I lost 15 pounds in a month when I went gluten-free - with

no exercise. All off the gut too, which was lovely.

Where does one start when going gluten free? ALL of my weight is in my

gut. It's the only place I gain. It looks as if I'm 3 months pregnant.

Anyways, if someone could point me to the best sites/resources for

going gluten free? I am more than ready!!
