As celiacs we miss a lot of the vitamin B6 found in whole grains and nuts,
as well as fish and white meats. By pooling the ten good studies done on
it, taking a safe dose of 50 mg of B6 once or twice a day relieves overall
premenstrual and depressive symptoms, bloating, depression and anxiety in
women (who else :) (I might inject here that taking too much b6 can cause
nerve damage.) I wonder if it might not be a good idea for celiacs, who
tend to be deficient in b6, to take it also.

According to Dr. Muraleedharan Nair at Michigan State U., the anthocyanins
in a glass of tart cherry juice a day gives 10 times the anti-inflammatory
relief of an aspirin, without irritating the stomach. It is supposed to be
very good for arthritis.

Also a glass of orange juice per day raised the HDL (good cholesterol) by
21 percent in a group with cholesterol levels above 200.
