so much good advice ladies, thanks so much. im finding breakfast the hardest cause i ALWAYS have a bowl of cereal, its like my coffee, my day just doesnt start right without a bowl of cereal!! but il find the right stuff, just trial and error i think. i normally just have the corn thins with avo and tomatoe, or tuna lettuce cups for lunch anyway....just would normally have cheese with them! so that hasnt been too hard, and dinners fine so far. bought a few recipie books to get me started and all looks good. even got a good choc cake recipie to keep me going!! ( thanks poopie )
How long do you think you would have to be dairy/Gluten free for to notice any difference or improvement??
sorry, double post...but so excited (very sad ) just got back from the shops and am sitting here with a bowl of crunchola and goats milk...YUM!!! thanks christy and falguni (and all) you saved my mornings!!
I might be wrong about this, but I thought that the allergy tests only showed up a positive if you were actually eating the gluten for example. I'm not sure if thats the blood test or what, I've just read it somewhere - because if you aren't eating gluten there won't be any antibodies in your blood??. There is one test that looks at the villi in you stomach and I think that is supposed to be more accurate.
I suppose if you are feeling better after a few weeks then that will be the best indicator.
I'm actually thinking of joining you in a few weeks when I finish uni (only I just realised then I will be going away for two weeks, then it will be christmas).
So thanks for the goats milk suggestion, I had forgotten about it, and was trying to figure out what to have in smoothies.
Any other breakfast suggestions?
All I have is:
scrambled eggs and kale
smoothie
fruit salad.
Have you found any nice gluten free breads?
Heliana, I think you're thinking of the tests for coeliac disease, which is totally different to being wheat intolerant. Coeliacs are unable to tolerate gluten, which is a protein that is part of wheat (and other grains). The effects on the body are quite different to those of wheat intolerance.
Sorry to be so brief, it's mad hour here, hopefully someone else will elaborate.
i have my bowl of cereal and goats milk for breakfast every day...no variation lol, but ive always been the same!!
my local bakery does a gluten free bread, $8 for a tiny loaf!!! and its YUCK. ended up making bread and butter puddind with it cause it wasnt good for much else!! but the pudding is Great!!
its actually not as much of an issue as i thought it would be, i find it hard not eating cheese...oh i love cheese! had cravings for big glasses of cold milk so i started taking calcium tablets...solved that one!
The symptoms i was having that made me go wheat and dairy free have all but gone, and also other things which i had just taken for granted as 'normal' have gone too, i must admit i feel SO much better now. I had a few chocolate treats the other day at a birthday party and i knew about it! lol.
It turns out im not alergic to wheat or dairy, so i dont have to be really picky about items that have traces in them, but its made a big difference to my general heath!! worth doing if your think about it!!
Isn't it amazing what you assume is 'normal' only to find that it's not! I found exactly the same thing when we went dairy and soy free. I also really 'know about it' when I have something I shouldn't now LOL!
Good on you hun, sounds like you've done wonders for your health And you're so positive about it too.
