Cathy Chapman

Answer

So, you know. I know many people with both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and laying away laying off the wheat is certainly very very helpful. We spoke earlier. About how much protein there is in things like vegetables oats garbanzo beans potatoes and other things like that. So I It's very funny that you would also mention that Kathy because I do know that on the on the rare occasion that I would maybe have like a vegetable pizza or something the next day when I wake up my my arthritic. bones are Difficult to manage, so I understand that but start looking at labels of vegetables and things like that because there's lots of protein in all of those vegetables and thanks for writing back. I really appreciate that.
