Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain ; No Grain, No Pain demonstrates the proven link between a gluten-heavy diet and chronic pain and discomfort--and offers a groundbreaking, 30-day, grain-free diet plan to help you heal yourself from the inside out.
More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain according to an Institute of Medicine report released in 2011. For many, chronic pain is part of an autoimmune disease, but all too often doctors turn to the same solution: painkilling drugs.
But all of this medication simply isn't helping, and as Dr. Peter Osborne, the leading authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies has found, the real solution often lies in what you eat. In No Grain, No Pain , Dr. Osborne shows how grains wreak havoc on the body by causing tissue inflammation, creating vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies, and triggering an autoimmune response that causes the body to attack itself. But he also offers practical steps to find relief. Using his drug-free, easy-to-implement plan, you will be able to eliminate all sources of gluten and gluten-like substances, experience significant improvement in fifteen days, and eliminate pain within thirty days.
No Grain, No Pain is the first book to identify diet--specifically, grain--as a leading cause of chronic suffering, and provides you with the knowledge you need to improve your health. Based on extensive research and examples culled from thousands of his satisfied patients, Dr. Osborne recommends changing your diet to achieve the relief that millions of Americans have been seeking once and for all, leading to a healthier, happier life.

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.
