I’m gluten free.
#CarnivoresUnite
I buy my gluten separately at the health food store to make my bread rise.
If the bone mets were from prostate cancer, then he's better off eliminating animal protein from his diet than gluten.
Research is key, and the jury is out on gluten, except for Crohn's Disease victims.

Someone very close to me died of celiac so I take the gluten thing very seriously. He might be alive today if we had had it diagnosed earlier. A doctor told me a few years ago that it was tough to diagnose - or that doctor’s don’t look for it. But, really, a gluten-free diet in a perfectly healthy person is absurd.
Goo is Good....
NO refined sugars. NO grains. NO processed foods.
I’ve been mostly gluten free for 2 years; I lost a lot of weight and now have normal BP.
I try to not be a glutton.
I’m allergic to gluten-free foods.
And my well is contaminated with DHMO ...
But I use it anyway.
I’m already “allergic” to shellfish & chocolate (theobromine) - cause awful HEADACHES - lactose in milk (causes bloating & enough gas to fuel the car) - penicillin & any antibiotic I try - after I get half through a dose, I upchuck it all before I can complete the whole dose cycle.
Now; I guess I should leave off gluten. I have been getting the heritage wheat & grinding it by hand - that’s supposed to be low in gluten. - It’s always something. I’m 68 and falling apart I reckon.
I am mostly gluten free. I slip a lot, but my consumption is negligible compared to before. I have a sensitivity to gluten, not an allergy. But when I’m off gluten, my RA and psoriasis is in remission. In my experience, gluten creates inflammation and interferes with my immune system. I am MUCH better off without it.
The explanation may be that carbohydrates — which includes gluten and the grains that it is found in — are converted in the body to glucose, which tends to suppress immune function and aid the growth of tumors. Most cases of dramatic natural healing of major cancer seem to involve diets that prohibit all grains, sugars, and other carbohydrates for a diet composed almost entirely of antioxidant rich leafy greens and small portions of oily fish like salmon and sardine.
3 years ago my osteoarthritis pain was severe. I was getting cortisone shots and taking naproxen regularly. Within a week of eliminating gluten from my diet, my knee pain has all but gone away.
Everyone is different. I’m low carb, but not because of glutens. My husband is diabetic.
My Free Republic posts are 100% Gluten Free.
I eat all the gluten I want. Whole grain bread has supported much of the human race for millennia and bake much of my own. I’m 6’2” and weigh 183 and, at 65 years of age, feel just fine
That guy is amazing. And since cancer feeds on sugar, he might be pretty wise.
I’ve been gluten free for 5 years except one experiment last week. We bought some einkorn flour. It is the ancient wheat, that gluten sensitive people often do not react to. I made some chocolate chip cookies for the kids and ate two. No reaction. I am grateful to have a way to do pie crusts etc that might really work. Never got good gluten free pie crusts. I’ve been baking for special occasions gluten free for a long time but I am glad to have this new way to do some cultural and traditional baking (holidays, sabbaths, etc). Daily there is no need for breads and glutens. But pies and birthday cakes sometimes are called for.
