Out from under the dietician

Six months later, I'm out the far side of the exclusion diet. The dietician has signed me off, happy that I can feed myself a varied, nutritous diet on what is remaining (everything except dairy and gluten, lemon in small quantities), and given me a few handy hints such as CoeliacUK's book listing okay foods (like [livejournal.com profile] woolymonkey's earlier reassurance that many ordinary cornflakes which contain barley malt aren't a problem).

Six months, blimey. I am looking forward to spending the future eating the right sort of things and not getting unexpected flareups, and feeling much better for it. And if a bad thing does sneak in, I can just wait it out, and not have to worry that this spoils and delays my next reintroduction.
