Meal suggestions for foods intolerances

[joey123]

So which magical products did the health food store tell you would help with it? Are they the only place that sells gluten-free stuff?

Not to cast aspersions on their methods, but sometimes it is worth considering the source of the evidence.

Also, how intolerant are you of these foods? Is it a pain response that makes life difficult? Is it severe bloating? Is it just feeling a bit tired in the morning? Could be that cow milk protein causes you to suffer eczema and bloating, but egg just means you need an extra half-hour's kip if you eat ten of them: in that case, I would worry less about cutting out the egg.

The health food store didn't mention much that I would need to buy from them, they said I could take a few supplements but that's all-I could get them anywhere (magnesium, calcium, vitamin c).
I feel sick after I eat eggs for a few hours, I have felt less bloated over the last 2 days when I have had no wheat products. I think egg in stuff wouldn't bother me too much, it's really just the bloating I want to deal with. I don't feel tired in the morning.

So are doing this for health reasons or cosmetic reasons?

Giving up gluten is hard. If you dont need to, dont bother. If you had a gluten intolerance, you'd know about it. It feels like you're being stabbed in the guts. Before you make such a radical change in diet, I'd contact an allergy specialist, a doctor who knows what they're talking about. If you have celiac, for example, which is a serious autoimmune disease, gluten can damage your gut so much you become seriously ill. To test for it, you need to be eating gluten so a biopsy can find the danaged lining. If you stop before being tested, you cant get a diagnosis and therefore work out a health plan.

By all means, eat what ever you want and for whatever reasons you want. Just know there are possible long term health repercussions.

I make my own grain free cereal that doesn't have any of that stuff in it - I can give you the link if you want. I eat it with yoghurt, but you could eat it with coconut cream (or make your own yoghurt from coconut milk) or buy coyo (coconut yoghurt from health food shops)
