So mid November I decided to try a gluten free diet. I will tell you this was after some debate but eventually my will was stronger than my need for bread.
Here is my story!
I left home 21 years ago and soon after that I started with a lot of gastrointestinal issues, these include, vomitting, cramping, severe pain, constipation or diarrhoea, terrible exploding smelly gas and a feeling of lonliness.
Seen by many specialists throughout the last 21 years, which did include many diagnostic examinations, they said it was a lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome and started me on medication. After a year on pills which were only meant to be a 6 week course and no improvement I gave up trying different diet's but finding it hard to isolate anything that caused problems.
years pass, nothing changes and then I started reading up about Gulten and how it affects the body so 2 months ago I thought - lets give it a go.
I must admit the 10lb i lost instantly was encouraging but other changes were occuring, my psoriasis hich I have been struggling with for over 3 years has almost disapeered over night, I have more energy and I have less mood swings (although Simon may disagree)
So I am now on a gluten free diet and when I have had some by accident it has once again caused havock to my intestines.
Thinking back, growing up my diet was mostly meat veg and potatoes, a well balanced diet, leaving home allowed me to try pasta's pizza's and sandwiches by the barrel load!!
I am seeing a nutritionist tomorrow to review if I need any nutritional suppliments and to ensure I stay on the straight and narrow!!
With this sucess how could I not!!
