Hi, @dlady, this is @mamacita, Volunteer Mentor for Mayo Clinic Connect. I I have many of the conditions you have mentioned, as well as IBS, Diverticulitis, and Autism. I cannot speak for anyone else, but following a basically gluten free diet has been a real lifesaver for me. It took me over one year, but I lost sixty five pounds. My A1C went down to 6.2, my blood sugars are normal, and I have tons more energy. My thinking is much clearer, my anxiety levels are down, and my Fibromyalgia flares are fewer. I also have Depression, which is much better with this way of eating. I basically count carbs, even the ones in vegetables. I have gone from a lunch sack full of meds to a small ziplock bag of prescribed medication. Two of my medicines were recalled because they were found to cause cancer. I do take a multi-vitamin and mineral every day, as well as Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium, and Vitamin C. My Primary Care Physician is totally on board with me trying every trick up my sleeve, the more natural the better. I hope that your health continues to improve and that you feel better very soon. I would very much like to be a part of this discussion. We can all learn from each other.
