    A Juice fast will help but you may need to cut some foods out of your diet in general. I had that problem earlier this year so I can give you the plan my doc gave me. Do it for 2-3 weeks and keep your intake of gluten and dairy low after you're off it.

    2 servings of fresh fruit/ day
    4-6+ servings/cups fresh veggies/day
    *emphasize crucifers: broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, brussles sprouts, and bok choy
    1-3 proteins (no red meat and fish over chicken)
    Buckwheat and Amaranth as your occasional grains

    hope this helps!

    wheatgrass juice..2 oz a day. can be separate "doses."
    I hate the stuff, so I slice an orange or lime to slurp after the 1 oz shot.
    Some smoothie places will blend in a shot, too. Just finish the drink in a reasonable amount of time....and no dairy and little sugar in the smoothie.

    i've read no dairy is supposed to help tremendously with that, and a lot of other health aspects.
