Re: Fasting to fix Patella tendinosis

You are most welcome, sir. I've a 17-year-old daughter who is gluten intolerant (CAN'T have wheat, rye, or barley), and knows full well about peer pressure, especially when you want to eat out with friends. Her diabetic dad's blood Sugar totally normalized when he gave up wheat.

Pizza
take the 'good stuff' off the crust
don't eat the crust

Hamburgers
remove the bun
eat everything else

Salad
take out the croutons

Wendy's 'frostie' and chili have no wheat in them

Steakk and Shake
remove buns from burgers
most shakes are gluten-free (except obvious ones with cookies blended in)

There are ways to 'control' the damage to your gut but still enjoy the socialization part of college

I hope I helped in just a little way

Oh, and those pickles? Even tho they may not be the 'best' thing, they will help you digest the other stuff.

Been there
I am a former Pepsi freak and vending-machine brownie eater

lol

I am 56 and much healthier than when your age. Last summer my meniscus disc went out in my left knee, and started acting up in the right knee when I couldn't walk right. They wanted to do surgery, but I cleaned up my diet in a hurry. It saved me. The diet, I mean.

That knee pain was worse than labor. I kid you not.

Sometimes we don't know what our own 'last straw' is until it hits us right between the eyes.
