I became progressively more and more ill ...God yes. I became progressively more and more ill starting about 2007, and finally in 2010 I found out that I had a LOT of food allergies. I cut out most of them, and I was already GF and soy free, as well as vegan, but there was still a lot to adjust to. I learned to cook amazing, allergy friendly food and as I went very strict on the allergies I saw a lot of improvement with my digestive system. I just recently added gluten back in to no real ill effect, though I can tell it's still a little difficult for me to digest. Dairy I brought back about a year ago now, I think? But only the more processed forms, like greek yogurt and cheese, since I'm allergic to the whey. So far, so good.<br /><br />I know a lot of people tout going gluten free as the cure for any number of ailments, and I do agree that the way we've bred our modern wheat and other grains to be is hard on our digestive systems. I don't, however, think that it's ALWAYS the answer… it seems more like a buzzword or a fad to me.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407466438773284596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-17098611184509960212014-03-31T10:25:04.067-04:002014-03-31T10:25:04.067-04:00I've been gluten-free by choice for almost two...I've been gluten-free by choice for almost two years, Tina, and I do feel better.

Was wondering if you had read it? It's a memoir of OCD.

I gave up soft drinks in 2009, replacing with water or unsweetened tea. Felt much better and do not miss them a bit. Slowly, I started adding more fresh foods to my diet in 2010. I lost 40 lbs. and feel so much better. Good luck with the changes you are trying to make.

Just but drastically cutting back my intake of grain I'm able to function on 50mg of Zoloft where before I was on 150mg (no grain restriction then). I can tell when I have too much grains, my symptoms get stronger and I just feel terrible.<br /><br />I hope you get some relief!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687840610018476358noreply@blogger.com
