I have just found out I have intolerence to Dairy, wheat,Gluten, any of the nightshade family, Tuna and shrimp..

How do you make the move from eating everything in sight to having to avoid all kinds of foods. Tomato's, peppers and potato's were the staple part of my diet. I am not sure where to start, should I tackle each meal or go straight for cutting out these foods, I feel so overwhelmed by it all I really dont know where to start...

Any suggestions how did you go about making the changes...

Any advice would be good...

Unfortunately, you just have to suck it up and do it. I had a much longer list of intolerances, and it was hard, but it sure was worth giving them up! Now, 7 months later, I have no restrictions, except gluten. Feeling better is much worth it! Try to focus on what you CAN have instead of what you can't :D

Yup, you just have to jump right in. I've been doing an elimination diet for 60+ days. Soy, corn, legumes, dairy, wheat, seafood, nuts, strawberries. I've added gluten recently, and I'm giving nightshades a rest. I've been intolerant to spuds for a couple of years now and suspect I may have to limit the others. No fun really but it's gotten better. I have developed an auto-immune disorder and I'm being tested for more allergies later in the month. Hang in there and think of all you can eat.

Are you a celiac? I saw that you added gluten back in. Which auto-immune disorder did you develop?

      Orgain Protein Powder

      https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-wheat-grass-and-barley-grass-contain-gluten/?srsltid=AfmBOooHiK6XbdFHxpzQXFd6wsQkDSdJIXvaFnhQ7EwECIWFuGQnWivp I find this helpful. I will update you on what the company says but most likely will choose one of their products without the wheat and barley grass. Overall, I think the other powders should be safe and I will try them.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, particularly those involved in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, going gluten-free can improve overall health, which might shift your hormone balance and alter your cycles. Delayed or irregular periods, cramping, and other new symptoms may be part of your body’s adjustment process, especially if your antibodies are still trending downward. While it’s reassuring that your labs are normal and serious conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues have been ruled out, these symptoms might take time to stabilize. You could also explore whether stress, diet changes, or other factors might be contributing. If things don’t improve soon, you might want to revisit your OBGYN to discuss hormone-specific testing, such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, to check for imbalances. In the meantime, tracking your symptoms and cycles closely could help you and your doctors identify patterns or triggers. Hang in there—healing can take time, but you’re on the right path!

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Pure wheatgrass is gluten-free, however, there can be issues when they make it because the kernel/seeds can get mixed into the grass that is harvested, and then ground up in the powder. I've seen this firsthand when Jamba Juice used to cut the wheat grass in front of you (maybe they still do this), and put it in the juicer--they often included seeds that had been pushed up by the growth of the grass. In general, to be on the safe side, I think it's best to avoid wheat and barley grasses.

      I meant to specify it was an Orgain product. They have several options to choose from.
