Description: More than 100 million Americans live with some form of pain, often managed or temporarily masked by drugs. But the root cause of this pain--and the real solution--may be simpler than you think. Dr. Peter Osborne, an authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies, has found that grains, even so-called safe grains like corn and rice, can wreak havoc on the body by causing tissue inflammation, creating vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and triggering an autoimmune response. No Grain, No Pain offers the tools you need to eliminate the hidden sources of grain and other inflammatory agents in your diet to improve your health. Using Dr. Osborne's drug-free, easy-to-implement plan, you can achieve significant improvement in fifteen days and be on track to completely eliminate pain within thirty days. No Grain, No Pain includes a clear examination of the science behind the program, a day-by-day meal plan to make the transition to a grain-tree diet easier, dozens of delicious recipes, and valuable resources to support your grain-tree lifestyle tor the long haul.--From book jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-327) and index.
