I have been a member for a while, but this is my first time on the forum.
I have been true gluten free for probably 6 months now and I feel great. I never had lot of illnesses – mostly fatigue and depression. When I first found out I was gluten sensitive about 2 years ago, I got off traditional gluten and felt great. Sure enough, as time went by, I began to feel that fatigue and depression again.
My bloodtests show a lot of other food sensitivities – soy, peanuts, and I am definitely intolerant to dairy as well. I have tried to reintroduce soy, dairy and peanuts from time to time and always end up with some sort of brain fog or strange mouth sores (kind of like blood blisters).
Anyway, I feel so frustrated, I can deal with being grain free, but the soy and dairy is so hard – no yogurt, cheese, milk, etc. . . So far, most soy free, dairy free, gluten free cheese or yogurt options I have found are not very good. Also they do not have much protein and I am not a big meat eater so getting protein is hard for me. I think I also get really bad brain fog/ fatigue with chicken, even when the label says “gluten free”.
I feel like my diet is so limited – eggs, salads, fruits, nuts, beans and seafood.
I don’t love to cook, but am thinking I should try Dr.O’s cookbook.
Thanks for “listening” !!!
