I’ve been dealing with an uncooperative knee for months now. I’m not sure if it’s RA, an injury that’s taking a LONG time to heal, or something else. I’ve tried KT tape, RICE, NSAIDs and turmeric. Several friends have recommended avoiding wheat to reduce the pain and stiffness. That sounds less unpleasant (and less expensive) than seeing a doctor, so I’ll try it a week or two and see what happens. I’ve looked through my weekly menus from 2018 and was surprised to see many meals I cook are already wheat-free. I think the key word here is “cook.” When you eat out or use convenience foods from the store, you’ll find there’s almost always wheat used as a filler or thickening agent. When you prepare foods from scratch at home, you control exactly what goes into everything you make. It’s more work, of course, but if it means walking pain-free again, totally worth it.
