Just got back from Whole Foods. In my cart was almond flour and gluten free wheat flour. I have no idea if I am wasting my money or not, but I have decided to get on the massive bandwagon and try the whole gluten free concept. At least in what I bake at home! I am going to try a new recipe with one of those flours, same recipe as sugar cookies but without sugar (and without any other type of sweetener), and with a dab of all fruit jam in the middle :) sounds good to me!
I think its too early to know what triggers more RA pain verse what keeps it somewhat at bay. Trial and error! I have already cut refined sugar by about 80% of what I used to have. And I have taken out almost all artificial sweeteners... it hasn't been as hard as I remember it being when I went sugar free for a few year a while back. Maybe its all about the motivation! Pain is a big one. So is this crazy all encompassing fatigue. I took a total of 5 hours in naps today ;) haha Praise God that I have a life situation where I can have weekends off! I am also doing the whole walk a mile thing at work every day (in air conditioning!). Not doing it on weekends. I might melt in the sun. I want to start stretching more, and once the humira kicks in a bit more, I want to start hand weights again.
BTW! Did you know whole foods sells zero calorie sodas without artificial sugar, they use Stevia! Crazy brilliant.
