FOOD

I've cut out gluten as well as dairy and soy, and I've had massive vitamin D supplements, and my joints and digestion and migraines are all much better. And I'm not starving all the time; today I wanted to eat something like biscuits but also wasn't even slightly hungry, which was downright weird. I've been hungry most of the time for, um, ever, it feels like. Except just after a meal. Often hungry and feeling too sick to eat, since my early teens.

But not now.

Gosh.

Ooh, hurray! I hope things continue to improve.

Interesting! I hope this effect continues.

May it continue!

I told my mother and she's torn between delighted and a bit miffed we didn't work it out when I was oh, two. Or so.

Yay yay yay!

Anytime you want GF DF recipes, let me know. (Almost all soy-free, too, assuming you can get soy-free margarine over there.)

Rob does the cooking - but yes, we have many reliable sources of soy-free marg. And it turns out there's easily available gluten-free bread, pasta, whatnot. All ready made, mostly tasty or at least palatable. Money makes things so much easier. Four years ago this would have been a much bigger problem, like it is for most people.

I meant "you" in the sense of "you all", but if Rob would like recipes, just let me know. :)

Huh. Did you have a test for coeliac already? It's important because it's likely hereditary, meaning that if you have it, one of your daughters might too.

The blood test showed no sensitivity, so no referral for the more invasive test. The GP says the risks associated with the more invasive one might outweigh the benefits anyway.
