gluten free and sugar free?

by Lauren
(oregon)

Hi All,

I went on a gf diet about 5 years ago which temporarily seemed to make my problems go away. For the past year everything that I was experiencing before (joint pain, low iron, night sweats, severe fatigue, irritability, depression) is back. I am still on a strict gf diet and have been tested by my family dr for just about everything. The dr says that all my tests are coming back fine but I am thinking maybe I should try cutting out sugar? Or any suggestions/feedback from anyone out there experiencing this would help so much. I am only 22 and dont want to feel crappy anymore.

Food Intolerances
by: Lee

Hi Lauren,
It's not uncommon when you have one food intolerance to find that there are also other foods you need to eliminate. Since being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease I've also had to limit lactose and am currently on an elimination diet excluding salicylates, amines and glutamates. I also find sugar something I need to limit and perhaps you should check out fructose intolerance. My experience has been that refining your diet seems to be something that you need to personally research and drive. It's challenging when you don't feel well but good health will be such a prize it's worth it.
Best of luck, Lee
