a dystonia group states that a gluten free diet is best for those with dystonia.....it also helps those with arthritis....so finding something to counter act gluten is a miracle...because trying to eliminate bread, cereal, pasta and all flour products is an immense undertaking...

While it is very true that avoiding the products that you listed is maybe not easy in today's supermarkets, some people think it might just be a good idea to try to avoid those products that come from agriculture that didn't exist before 10,000 years ago. It's called a Paleolithic Diet, and it prefers mainly meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots and nuts, and eliminates grains, legumes, dairy products, salt and refined sugar.

I confess that I do not use this diet myself, yet, but it does seem to make some sense nutritionally. It's basically saying that humans evolved for hundreds of thousands of years on this diet, and this is what we should be eating, not the stuff that we learned to grow "recently". Sounds right to me.

Mu husband suffered from Celiac Sprue the last four years of his life. It is much easier to eliminate gluten, wheat and other grains than you ming think.

There is a ton of products available, and almost all packaged foods are clearly marked.

When diagnosed, he was at the point of death, and like the article said about a week into treatment was a new person.

I watched his diet like a hawk, but then he died from a short bout with cancer.

It’s hard to live around other people when you can’t eat what they eat.
