Osteo-Arthritis Diet Update.

It has been over 10 weeks on this Gluten Free- Wheat Corn Oat Free - Dairy Free - Sugar Free - Night Shade Free diet and I am no longer taking any pain-killers or muscle relaxers.  I feel great, a bit of achy at times but I feel like myself again.  My back pain is gone, my hip pain is here and there.  I think the diet is working.  No tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, no night-shade vegetables, no pork.  It is tough and sometimes I feel deprived and whiny about my life....poor me!!!!  But poor me will not be disabled in 10 years like the statistics.  I do eat dark chocolate and so not completely sugar-free.  No other desserts like I used to eat everyday(ask Amanda and Paige about after Christmas saltine toffee)....I do miss chocolate chip cookie dough.  I love sweet potatoes now....yummy.  Sweet Potatoes come in chips, fries, mashed and roasted....yum~

I love Sweet Potatoes but I am not sure I can give up my pork. That would be the hardest part for me. Good Job

Have you lost any more weight? (Not that you needed to).
Randy and I have lost weight on our diet. Ive lost 11 lbs since we started. All natural foods, no preservatives, no sugar(except in fruit). High natural fat like whole milk, avacados, olives and butter. Quite the change for me

Good luck! I'm glad you're feeling better!
