Out from under the dietician

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 12:31pm on 08/02/2012
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.

Hello, carbonated beverages!

spendid!

Worth noting: many take out salads are fine if you dispose of the dressing.

If nothing else, it must be very reassuring to know what is and isn't safe.

Happy eating!

Yay! Well done you for sticking with it, amazing patience.

So dairy free AND gluten free eh? I won't give you macaroni cheese then.

Good for you and I hope it has proved helpful.

Carbonated beverages? I recommend a gin & tonic!

I think everything except dairy, gluten (wheat, rye, barley), and large measures of lemon juice :-)

Congratulations! And good for you (in so many ways) for sticking it out through the elimination diet marathon.

I've been avoiding that. (Except for the accidental, cleaning out the cupboards instead of shopping stint that let me know wheat was not in my future.) But I did invest in a (cheap used) bread machine, as I will not pay store prices for gf bread.

Luckily, there are a lot of good products out there now, down to cake mixed and junk food. Jacket potatoes are a good option when out and about, but beware of soups.
