Arthritis or Allergy
John had been suffering from joint pain and inflammation for months when his chiropractor suggested he contact Zizania.
At first glance, John appeared healthy. His weight was adequate for his height and age; his blood test showed no sign of disease or nutrient deficiencies, and he stated that his energy level and stamina were good. As a result, the source of his extreme joint pain remained a puzzle. His pain was at times so severe he could not use his hands.
Having worked with many people suffering from joint pain and autoimmune disease, Dominique immediately suspected some kind of allergy. Allergies are very difficult to diagnose and pinpoint, particularly when they are not food related.
After doing a thorough health history, it was discovered that John’s pain was more pronounced on weekends and Monday mornings. Reviewing his eating habits, John overall had a healthy diet and his weekend food choices hardly differed from his weekday ones. However, upon a closer look, John enjoyed a pizza during a poker game on Friday nights. He and his wife had bagels every Saturday morning.
The culprit was gluten. Once we removed gluten from his diet, the pain went away in less than a month.
John no longer needed to take any medication and resumed his regular activities.
