Who else has adopted a gluten free , low or no lectins, low carb lifestyle? I have been gluten free and almost grain free , low carbs, heaps of veges, for over a year. I’m now working on reducing lectins and reintroducing a little of the healthiest of grains, just the gluten and low/no lectin sort

Shortness of breath
Hello, forum. I’ve experienced increasing shortness of breath in the past three years, which resulted in a mild asthma diagnosis and a reliever prescribed for exercise (I’m an otherwise active 38 year old). Persistent and worsening problems led to steroid inhalers of increasing strength and then finally

Update with Nephrology, Losartan discontinued from my treatment plan
To give an update for today, I talked with Nephrology and losartan was discontinued for now. I was told that hypoglycemia was a rare side effect of the medication so they would like for me to repeat labs in 2-4 weeks. As for my kidney function decreasing, I was told that the increase in BUN and Creatinine

Low carb diet and high dose prednisone
Hi everyone, I am just wondering if the level of prednisone affects whether or not the low carb diet prevents weight gain. I have gca and have been on high dose prednisone for several weeks now .

Hyperinflation/asthma
A recent X-Ray reveals that my lungs are hyperinflated which may be a factor in extreme breathlessness and low peak flow (40) diagnosed as chronic asthma. Does anyone have experience of hyperinflation and its treatment?

Using Albutrix
I have been using Albutrix for one month. Until I receive my next blood and 24-hour urine test results, I do not know how well it works. I have read the entire book, Stopping Kidney Disease by Lee Hull. It is excellent. I have started to read some of the referenced scientific articles, such as:

Even when I had to have 1/2 my thyroid removed for a goitre I was still
