The Master Sculptor Nrusingha Mishra, Germantown, MD

Everything in the universe appears to move except me I remain at one place at the entrance of the shrine Some are very close, some are closer than me to the Lord I carry the names of the benefactors on my head and collect dust Carry the brunt of numerous aspirants without any hesitation Witness a long list of material needs and desires to be fulfilled Some come again and again asking the same problems with tearful eyes Some are back again with cheerful smiles on face asking for more very rarely see the devotees with pure and desireless heart and mind No need to look for valuables in a palace if you win the love of the king I came with an intention to be closer to the Lord and be in a place safer Destiny landed me in the front wide open to greet men and women never met before The Sculptor looked at me and all the peers quickly And decided where we all belong in His judgment He needed all of us to build this palace and shrine All of us are needed to fulfill His great mission

What Price Glory!

Rupul Panda I stood on a stage and they gave me a medal For being the best of the Bunch Then Joannah came by and ate it up for lunch With mustard, a pickle, two slices of rye and a very nasty crunch. I stood on a stage and they gave me a trophy For being the best of the heap I waited for cheers but the audience had fallen fast asleep Except Josh, who yelled No trophies for that creep. I stood on a stage and they gave me a plaque That said I was the star of the show It weighted a hundred pound, but Erik dropped it on my toe And next time someone calls my name And wants me to stand on stage And get some prizes, Ill still go The moral of the poem is to be sporting Even if people are jealous of your success You still have to take it positively And go ahead in your life. Thank you.

Knee Pain and Wheat Connection Joy Gopal Mohanty

Elkridge, Maryland

I used to love to eat Puris1, Sooji

Halwa2, Kakara Pitha

3, Samosa

4, Wheat

bread toasts etc. They are so delicious; but

these days, I cannot eat them. Now I am

even scared to try them. Here I am

describing my personal experience without

any scientific evidence, how I surprisingly

discovered about my knee pain linked to my

eating wheat products.

What I tried to get relief of my knee pain?

Prior to 5-6 years from now, I felt pain in both of my knees with more pain on my right

side. Going up and down on the stairs became more and more painful. As usual, I started taking

popular painkillers like Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin tablets) regularly. These did help relief my

pain to some extent; but pain came back the next day. Gradually, I noticed my knee pain became

severe. I even experienced bone to bone touching in my right knee making me much more

painful. At work, I was scared to take steps to go up or down even one floor and preferred to

take elevators.

Then I learned that with age, cartilage5 damage in knee could happen. Cartilage acts as a

lubricant6 for the bone movement in the knee. I also found out that osteoarthritis (OA) is the

most common chronic condition of the joints6a

. OA occurs when the cartilage or cushion

between joints breaks down leading to pain, stiffness and swelling6a

. Chondroitin7 is a major

component of cartilage that helps it retain water. The body makes chondroitin naturally. Like

chondroitin, glucosamine7 is another natural compound found in the healthy cartilage,

particularly in the fluid around the joints. Therefore, older people with knee pain, consider taking

glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate as supplement to help replace their loss in the body.

Nevertheless, clinical studies with the use of glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate as supplement

suggested no significant difference from placebo in reducing knee pain. However, in cases of

severe knee pain in patients taking glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate8, there was slightly (66% vs

60% in placebo) better relief. So, I thought I have nothing to lose if I try taking

Glucosamine/Chondroitin sulfate pills. This supplement along with Ibuprofen pills helped me

reduce some of my knee pain but it did not go away. After trying this way for several months, I

was thinking that maybe I should go for my knee replacement surgery.

The surprise TV show changed my thinking

I remember, a couple of years in the past, I was at home, came down to my living room

d TV. I w s s PBS c d g C c d s s d g

c g d w s s g g b . Gluten is the major protein found in some grains,

like in all forms of wheat9 (Bulgur, Durum, Semolina, Spelt, Farro and more) as well as in

barley, rye and triticale (a wheat-rye cross). Some people are allergic to gluten and as such

suffer from an autoimmune disease called Celiac disease9a

having pain in abdominal area due to

damage in small intestine.

Within a few minutes of closing the program, I heard the speaker saying, If you have

knee pain, try giving up food with gluten for three weeks and see if you feel better. It

15 | P a g e

Oats

immediately hit my thinking. I was familiar about immunology and allergies. I knew, it needs at

least three weeks to develop immunity to an infection or even from vaccination. So similarly, if

we are allergic to any food, we can get relief if we give up that food for three weeks. Therefore,

I thought, giving up of wheat products might help me ease knee pain if I am allergic to gluten in

wheat.

Immediately, I informed my wife and my son living with us that I would not eat wheat or

barley products for three weeks. Although I decided, it was not that easy because, many things I

loved to eat are made with wheat flour. Unfortunately, gluten can also turn up9, in unexpected

places, like certain brands of chocolate, imitation crab (surimi), deli meats, soy sauce, vitamins

and even some kinds of toothpaste. Therefore, I had to find alternatives since I decided to go for

gluten-free.

I remembered back home, in South India, people normally live on rice and lentils. They

rarely eat wheat, as it is not

normally grown there.

Moreover, gluten is different

from proteins in other grains9

(such as rice) and in meat. Since

I am a vegetarian, I did not have

to think about eating meat etc.

So, to try my hypothesis, I gave

up Parathas, Puris, Samosas,

Pizzas, Breads, Biscuits, cookies

etc. and started eating food

without wheat products. Fortunately, I liked to eat Rice10

, Dals11

, and cakes made with rice and

Urad dal like Dosas/Idlis12

, deep-fried snacks made with gram flour (Besan) like Pakodas13

etc.

For breakfast, cereals and other products, I carefully checked through ingredients not to contain

wheat or barley, before I decided to eat. In addition, I continued taking glucosamine/chondroitin

sulfate and ibuprofen pills as and when needed to get relief from pain.

In fact, in three weeks of carefully controlling my diet, eating only with gluten-free

foods, I was surprised to notice that my knee

pain subsided to 50%. Therefore, I decided to

continue with gluten-free diet. Luckily, within

one year, I felt my knee pain was reduced by

90%.

What are the choices in gluten-free diet?

I was curious to know other choices in

gluten-free diet. Gradually, I learned that a lot of

grains15

such as Oats16

, Corn17

, Amaranth18

,

Buckwheat19

, Millet20

, Quinoa21

, Rice, Sorghum

etc. and lentils like Urad, Gram, Moong, Masoor

etc. are naturally gluten free. So, there are plenty

of choices in grains to eat while giving off wheat

and Barley. Even people with diabetes having

gluten sensitivity can survive well with choices

other than wheat, barley and even rice products.

When I was looking for gluten-free food in

grocery stores, I found that many stores carry

them these days. Even, a number of grocery

16 | P a g e


stores have a special section for gluten-f f ds s c s g b g W g s g c

store in Columbia, Maryland. Recently, I noticed in a number of restaurants that they are also

conscientious about gluten sensitivity in people and offering gluten-free food in their menu.

Prior to discovering my sensitivity to gluten, I used H N C s d

from Oats by General Mills for my breakfast. I recall, a few years back, General Mills was

d s g s c s g d f H s w s c s . I s g s

days, General Mills s g G f s g H N C s b x22

. So, I

continue to eat Honey Nut Cheerios without any guilt. It is true however, that gluten-free foods

are costlier than wheat containing foods; but I am relieved to know that there are plenty of

choices to live on gluten-free diet. Surprisingly, these days, it seems, a number of people are

experiencing gluten sensitivity and that is why gluten-free foods are becoming available in many

stores and restaurants.

Is there a scientific evidence of link of gluten to knee pain? Once I experienced relief of my knee pain by giving up wheat products, I was curious to

find out if there is any scientific research published with link of knee pain due to gluten

sensitivity. Interestingly, I found c c C c d s s f j b s d b

Ozyemisci-Taskiran et. al. from Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey 23

.

Acc d g s A 42-year-old woman was admitted to outpatient clinic with a 3-week

history of left knee pain and swelling. She said that her pain tended to wane minimally with ice

application and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Knee pain increased with motion, and

her gait was antalgic. On admission, she was mainly dependent on wheelchair. Her past

medical history included dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) for 12 years. . Since DH is a chronic,

gluten-sensitive skin disease, treatment plan consisted of gluten-free diet, stretching and

strengthening exercises, analgesic or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs when needed, and

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-sertraline for anxiety disorder. ..Two months after

commencing treatment, her symptoms disappeared.

According to Dr. Amy Myers24, a renowned leader in Functional Medicine, More than 55 diseases have been linked to gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It has been estimated that 99% of the people who have either gluten intolerance or celiac disease are never diagnosed.

Is the gluten-free diet a permanent solution to knee pain?

This is an interesting question. However, I can definitely say that by giving off wheat

and other products containing gluten, I am better off today and my knee pain is almost gone.

While I am living with gluten-free diet in my home, I find that there are challenges while going

out. It is not easy to control when I decide to attend parties or eat in restaurants. I have been

careful in checking ingredients with food vendors before I take them. Yet, I have noticed that if

unknowingly I had taken food containing wheat or barley products, I can sense my knee pain to

flare up.

I cannot say for anyone else having knee pain that they can be relieved of their pain if

they eat gluten-free diet. This is a situation with allergy to gluten or something in the wheat or

barley and not everybody is allergic to it. So, I suggest that anyone with unbearable knee pain

may consider to give up gluten containing foods for at least three weeks to find out if it helps. I

shall be obliged if this narration of my experience regarding my gluten sensitivity helps others

having knee pain.
