Dietary restrictions

[ailbhe]

I have been presented with evidence it would be foolish to ignore. I cannot tolerate soya in any quantity at all. Clearly, the fact that I did not react to one cup of soya milk was no indication of the effect of a few well-spaced portions.

One serving of yoghurt was enough cows' milk to make me vomit copiously and painfully, too.

I really will have to have myself investigated. I mean, it's not a hardship, as when I was consuming neither I didn't miss either, except for icecream and pancakes. And I can get sorbet and oat icecream, and I'll figure something out about the pancakes. But I'd like to know what it is that I am reacting to, and whether Linnea has the same reactions - she doesn't seem unable to tolerate soya, from current evidence, but that's no reason to feed it to her willy nilly.

I feel absolutely awful. I had an earache, and I ate a little icecream to cheer myself up, and now I am wretched and shaking and smelly and in pain. Thank heavens for Fybogel, which doesn't make me ill and may make me feel a little better.

Go and get yourself checked out, food intolerances are no fun.

The gluten-free pancakes I made had a variety of recipes for increasingly free-from pancakes on the box - egg-free, dairy-free, fat-free, the works. Admittedly I made them with everything but they tasted like pancakes, unlike the buckwheat jobs I made the week before (yes, I got my pancake days mixed up).
