Question 1

are their any benefits on me being on a dairy free/gluten free non-gmo diet and taking a multi, coq10, d3, and omega (have lupus & dysautonomia)?

Accepted Answer

Lots of supplements: You must have a lot of money to spend
exercise and good diet are key
no alcohol or drugs is important
there is no proof that gluten or dairy will be an issue for your lupus nor is the gmo food particularly bad - it is made so they use less pesticides which are bad!

Question 2

how to balance a gluten and dairy free diet?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: Both diets are restrictive, and if you have self-prescribed for some demonstrated or subjective illness, you need to consider how this will affect you not only as a person who needs to eat an adequate diet, but as someone who will from time to time be a guest. If these are prescribed, your physician / dietician will be your guide. If you're just following online "advice", reconsider.

Question 3

dairy and wheat allergy in my 4 year old my son has been diagnosed with asthma and allergies to dairy and wheat - we cut out everything that contains we are now on a gluten and dairy free diet - however when we went to the specialist he said the allergies

Accepted Answer

Physicians : Physicians usually rely on science and evidence to advise parents. It's interesting to speculate on causes but speculation is not evidence in the scientific meaning. Dairy and wheat allergies are diagnosed by specific tests and these allergies can be related to asthma and eczema. If the rash you are mentoining is eczema, it is impossible to say exactly what is causing it. Grapes may be exacerbating it and it is easy enough to eliminate that from a diet.
Inhalation of 'salt water' alone for asthma has not been proven helpful based on evidence. Saline is commonly used to mix medicine with to allow it to be aerosolized in a nebulizer. Saline can be soothing to irritated membranes and may also have a placebo effect. Asthma and eczema sometimes do resolve as children get older.

Accepted Answer

Weight gain: When you say low WBC do you know how low?  Also what was your T4 level?  Sometimes people that are in extreme stressful conditions, poor sleep or high cortisol levels tend to affect your overall adrenal system.  It may not be as apparent in a clinical setting but it can be subclinical.  Doing things like mediation and yoga and frequent exercise can sometimes push you back to balance.
