Can you reverse rheumatoid arthritis with a diet? Absolutely!

Carol shared her photos and story of her Wheat Belly success in both losing weight and in reversing rheumatoid arthritis:

“I was doing a semi gluten-free diet. I became serious and started Wheat Belly on 12/20/2014. I lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks. I feel so much better.

“I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I have seen a tremendous difference in the inflammation and pain.

“The picture on the left was taken on 6/29/2014 and the picture on the right was taken on 1/31/2015.

Carol is thinner, yes, but has also reversed the autoimmune damage to joints. This happens because she has removed the initial trigger for autoimmunity, the gliadin protein of wheat. She has also removed the abnormally increased intestinal permeability permitted by the gliadin that allows bacterial components such as lipopolysaccharide to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation. She has also removed the exceptionally inflammatory protein, wheat germ agglutinin. It all adds up to dramatic reversal of autoimmune inflammation.
