On reflection I moved to england from southern africa ( although i was born in england but spent the good thirtyu years of my life in south africa and after a year of living in London obviously there was a huge dietary change from back in southern africa where most of our food is organic, no special imported exotic foods that have been radiated etc to keep them fresh for months on end!!) and KEN u in the same situation as me , in fact u lived down the road from me He he) u also bought up in southern africa and now look at u , u developed RA about 3 years after living in london, have u been food sensitive tested? as they say 70% of our immune system is in our gut could this not be the reason? any thoughts on this any one?

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hi Lynn. I also have scleroderma and have huge stomach problems. Have to go for an endoscopy to check the small bowel and the villi for gluten. Was recently tested to see if I have an allergy to carbohydrates. Will know shortly. Take care. lynn steblecki <lynnsteblecki@...> wrote: Hi all Lynn s here from england dx with diffuse scleroderma severly in my skin and fascittis in my legs but my organs spared, even though i do have the antiobody for renal involvement, I have just found put that i am gluten and cows milk sensitive, does anyone out there think that maybe this is the cause of my scleroderma?
