Hope this helps someone else

Tx. ended over 2 yrs ago w/ incivek for 6 mos.Some autoimmune problems for awhile,mostly resolved.A few minor problems persisted, ie:psoriasis,insomnia,constipation ,abdominal pain,fatigue.I say minor because they didn't significantly alter my way of life.Recently the constipation grew worse as well as the abdominal pain.I had grown pretty weary of doctors by  this time so other than blood work have not sought the help I may have needed ,but never had received prior.Turns out by eliminating gluten I've found relief from all abdominal issues and fatigue.I'm writing this because it may help someone else.After tx with the relief of being done and returning to normal you lose sight of what is normal and you become used to feeling a certain way.The abdominal issues were gradual, so I thought normal for someone getting older.Its been a couple years since I've visited the site because you want to leave unpleasant things behind and move on. Now I'm moving on feeling better,hope y'all do too.

I agree I just finished 12 weeks, of Sovaldi and olysio
Undetected, but the real test is in 3 months for SVR

A couple of years ago I started being unable to digest raw fruits or vegetables, and my stomach would get very bloated and painful after eating certain foods
Got tested and I am allergic to wheat ( not gluten) also egg whites in allot of baked goods
So I am being very careful

Can you suggest some non wheat past, I am having trouble finding anything tasty

I think GMO "s also contributed to this, but I do have many autoimmune disease, primary Bilary cirrhosis , hypothyroidism , rheumatoid  arthritis etc

Any tips would be very appreciated !
Thank you
