Got protein deficient during the early stages of all the cutting out and felt like crap for a few months.<br /><br />Because I don't get any abdominal discomfort, it has made it harder to stay away. My food allergies show like hayfever and on the skin (ichy eyes, nasal congestion and hives). The hives bother me the most as it causes my eye area to swell and sometimes scar. So I manage them with antihistamines.<br /><br /> <br /><br />MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421430633168170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-37850693708915945332012-09-26T08:15:03.592-04:002012-09-26T08:15:03.592-04:00I understand completely!

When I was diagnosed four and half years ago, I had no idea of how to eat gluten-free. The US offers tons of gluten-free options now, but here in Mexico, I have to be very careful because the restaurants seem to think that a little bit won't hurt me. And now that I am also eating vegetarian, it is really a challenge. Often, it's just easier to cook from scratch at home. Good thing I love to cook!
