So<\/p>\n
During the period of time that Digger(my dad) was sick
\nand since he died\u2026
\nI\u2019ve been a bad girl health wise<\/p>\n
I stopped taking care of my diabetes
\nlost my glucose meter
\nate whatever I could get my hands on in the way of sweets
\nand junk
\nand all round moved
\nto comfort food\u2026
\nand lots of it<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had urinary tract infections
\nso regularly
\nthat I\u2019ve been on antibiotics
\nat least once a mth
\nfor over a year
\nand the receptionist at emergency
\nand I are on a first name basis\u2026
\nnot to mention
\nthe Dr’s<\/p>\n
as a result
\nI\u2019ve just had a series
\nof the proverbial
\n\u201ccome to jesus\u201d talks
\nwith my internist
\nI hope I\u2019m smart enough
\nto stop in time
\nto keep from having permanently
\ndamaged myself<\/p>\n
My doctor has suggested a \u201cLow Fodmap\u201d diet<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been tested
\nand come back as dairy \u201cintolerant\u201d
\nwheat intolerant
\nallergic to capiscum,
\nallergic to cadmuim
\nand of course I have diabetes and Crohns
\n(along with all the other shyte I have
\nlike arthritis, depression, asthma, etc etc etc ad nauseum)<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m going to try to do as I\u2019m told\u2026.
\nnever an easy task being the product of 2 of the most bullheaded ppl
\nI\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of coming across LoL<\/p>\n
All of this means
\nall kinds of changes in my life\u2026
\nand the biggest one so far
\nis that today
\nI embarked on an attempt
\nat being gluten free.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a ton of info
\non low fodmap
\non the internet\u2026
\nthis is my fav site so far though\u2026
\nhttp:\/\/www.whole9life.com\/
\nthey give you shopping lists
\nand suggestions
\nand there\u2019s both paid
\nand unpaid versions
\nof support etc.
\nI don\u2019t buy into
\nthe rah rah
\nbut I\u2019ll take any tips and tricks
\nthat I can use.<\/p>\n
Have you ever tasted gluten free bread?
\nI hear it\u2019s suspiciously like sawdust\u2026
\nbut I had some toasted this morning
\ndisguised by a couple of eggs
\nand it wasn\u2019t all bad<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t all good
\nBut it wasn\u2019t all bad
\nTexture is a funny thing eh?<\/p>\n
This low fodmap stuff
\nis supposed to be beneficial
\nfor ppl with
\nCroh’s Disease
\nIBD
\nasthma
\narthritis
\ndiabetes
\ngerd
\nhyper tension
\ndepression
\nhistamine allergies
\nacne
\n(and leave us not forget
\n\u201ccoughs, colds,
\nsore arseholes
\nand pimples on your old oiseau!\u201d
\na Diggerism )<\/p>\n
at first I was worried
\nthat between the diabetes
\nthe loss of dairy and wheat
\nand crohn\u2019s
\nI\u2019d likely only be able to eat
\ncardboard\u2026<\/p>\n
but I\u2019m confident
\nthat with the help
\nof some of the tools I\u2019ve found
\nthat I\u2019ll figure it out.<\/p>\n
Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
