Hello Everyone,

So I have recently removed all grain from my life. In december I removed all dairy, and spelt from my diet due to not being able to stop the frequency and urgency symptoms as well as head problems, brain fog, and bad emotions. That was the key I took it out for 5 months, and finally began to move forward on the lists (I was stuck on list 2 for a year and half) and my negative symptoms stopped and I was able to progress to list 3. Than I added spelt back in this past May. I was tolerating it well! My bladder felt great. But the only problem was I wasn't able to tolerate dairy still. But than as months passed some old symptoms came back. I ate spelt all the time everyday maybe even twice a day. At the end of the day and in the morning I had horrible bloat and gas. But my bladder felt good, so I ignored it. I was having a BM so I was happy about that too. I kept the spelt, and than began to add corn in. I ate that everyday as well. I ate less rice and rice products though cause it caused me to have constipation not good for frequency. Than as I continued my corn and spelt craze I got more old symptoms I haven't had since the beginning of treament. Nausea, headaches, dizziness, and than the awful brain fog. It's almost like my body peeked from all the carbs I was consuming. 

A week ago I finally said enoughs enough I had popcorn that sent me into a horrible flare in my head dizziness and nausea. I took out corn, but still didn't feel right. i than got horrible muscle pains in my left shoulder, and a weird sore throught. I told Dr. M and she increased my Rp to 4 three times a day. I still felt sick. I than decided to take out spelt and rice. Oh my gosh my head cleared, and nausea disappeared my muscle pain began to go away, and my bloat and gas has gone down considerebly. I began to read the Wheat Belly book can't remember the author at the moment. But he was talking about how wheat affects the body, and how it causes nausea, dizziness, muscle and joint pain, and all these awful things. That convinced me that it was the spelt causing all this awfulness. So I believe wheat/spelt/rice affects the body negatively, and over time it will accumlate in your body, and old symptoms will arise.

SO I just wanted to share with you ladies that we need ot be careful with spelt, rice, and corn. This was the case with me. Carbs cause a great deal of inflammation in my body. Maybe not right away, but it will accumulate. Try to constantly mix up your carbs. Try not to over do it with rice. It's very easy to do. I just wanted to share with you for those things I learned about my body, and maybe it will give you some clues to what might be causing your flares. Everyones different, so maybe this isn't you at all. That's fine this was the key for me. I hope this post helps :D
