I googled silver sneakers in my area and multiple gyms came up. Is it a program within a gym or is it its own place of business? Maybe this was google’s way of giving me another suggestion? I would be very excited to find something that targeted my age!

I have had an endoscopy recently and was checked for celiac. That was negative, but I have never been checked for gluten specifically. I think it is more than worth it for me to do your two week test as that could certainly be a problem. I do buy Oroweat gut health or plant-based bread but I don’t believe either are gluten-free. When I first got rosacea, I was over the top (At least for me!) with my food restrictions. I went fully plant-based and gave up gluten and sugar completely for four months while my first flare was healing. I looked terrible, but I felt great. I started every day with a 10 ounce glass of celery juice. I do take cranberry gummies daily, And had a colonoscopy at the same time I had my endoscopy in March. The doctor started me on Metamucil daily. It worked for about anIt worked for about a Month and sadly I am one of the few people that it appears to back up. I made sure I portion it correctly and drank it with 12 Ounces of water each time. I even tried it twice a day rather than once in smaller doses. Nothing worked for me. I’ve gone to prune juice which I have found to be pretty effective! I use Olay Hungarian water essence facial cleanser. The entire water essence line was exceptional for my rosacea, but it has been discontinued. I have about 10 bottles of the face wash.😂 I am also able to use Neostrata foaming glycolic wash every few days. I know it’s not supposed to be good for rosacea, but maybe because mine is type two, I am not bothered by it. It’s what I have used for over 20 years and it’s still very effective for me. My dermatologist was shocked that both Cetaphil and CeraVe broke me out. My skin is truly an anomaly, as was my fathers. His list of issues is pretty extensive. Again, thanks for all the help! I have not had anyone other than a doctor to talk to about this. I’m waiting at my dentist office so I hope my rambling makes sense. I’m not able to properly proofread without my classes.

Lots of great info. Thanks. Silver Sneakers is for seniors on Medicare Advantage or Medicare/other health plans ( https://tools.silversneakers.com/ ). Gyms that support it don't charge, and it is nice to go to the rec center just for weights or a quick workout. I drink a lot of water with psyllium husk, more than Metamucil calls for, and take walks. If the gluten test works for you, then going GF or gluten light may improve your GI function. My PCP and I are always battling over hypothyroid issues as well; she doesn't believe me when I say I am constipated and more tired with a TSH level of 3 than 1. Doctors also don't believe retired research scientists. My rosacea is also Type 2; it gets better if I avoid stress, hot sun, and wood dust.
