Hi everyone, just dropping in to see how everyone is going? I'm not too bad. I've been on and off dairy & grains for the last 6 months and notice a massive difference in my eczema when I'm off them. I'm happy that I've found some yummy alternatives to my fav grain foods such as muffins/cookies and bread and dh has planted some spaghetti squash so I can't wait to try that out as a pasta alternative! The best thing is that I've lost all my baby weight now plus a further SIX kilos So excited! dh has never seen me this slim so I'm feeling pretty good about myself. You will notice I said I've been on and off grains.... I really need to commit 100% for the long haul to see permanent change. I go back to eating grains and dairy thinking that my eczema has gone (gut healed) but I only get away with it for so long! As the moment I'm trying a fasting (minimal food) approach paired with slippery elm bark gruel to aid in giving my digestive system a break from food intake and the slippery elm bark to repair the gut lining. I know it's not really GAPS protocol but I'm giving that a go for 2 weeks and then after that I'll get back into broths etc.

Anyway, hope you are all doing well
