Hello strangers,
Sorry it has been so long. I started the blog off with full intentions of keeping it going but I had no real idea on what to do with it once I had started. I used it initially to reveal to people how I was feeling trying to cope with my CFS/ME but I didn't want it to be all doom and gloom.
I have made it a New Years resolution to get more bloging done as I find it useful to vent out, even if no one else reads it, it will be a good way for me to get things off my chest.
So a brief catchup. Last July after a particular bad spell of "pay back" I was doing some research into CFS/ME online and found an interesting statement. Test have shown that over 50% of people who have been diagnosed with CFS/ME also have a food allergy. So I decided that I would give it a go and see if there was anything that would help. The initial 2 week diet cuts out pretty much everything. Food was made up of a small selection of Veg and Lamb or Chicken. I had already cut our caffeine and was only drinking water at the time anyway.
After the 2 weeks I was to introduce something back into the diet, you are meant to introduce dairy first but I only eat cheese so I went with wheat. I had a sandwich for my lunch this was followed, within an hour, by stomach cramps and a trip to the toilet. I put it down to the change of diet. That night I had pasta and was again soon making a visit to the toilet. After a few days it then became clear that I had an intollerance to Gluten. It then became a job of changing my day to day diet and finding replacements.
Given that I am not as mobile as I once was I am playing PS3 and now Xbox more. I am mostly playing COD Black Ops with juniouramo. If anyone reading this wants to add me I am mannny44 on PSN and mannymann44 on XBL
My next post will be about the replacements that I have found from the gluten free range.
Cheers and hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year
