Tip On Helping The Healing Process

[whattodo]

does anyone know of tips or ideas that may help me with the healing process? (other than the obvious gluten free diet). Are there any herbal things to consider. I am a keen herbal tea drinker and would love it if i could find a tea or other to help.

I don't know if anything will really speed it up but peppermint tea does make you FEEL better...

Equally ... though the best thing you can do is cut out/down on irritants.... like coffee, alcohol etc.

Also when the villi are damaged we don't make lactase so lactose intolerance is also a problem...

I also stick away from Soy... (not completely just moderate it)... so I'd avoid soy milk... etc. my mom does react to soy...

Forgot to say but Booths in Clitheroe has a decent selection of "different" stuff to Sainsburies and Tesco... its not big but its different stuff so makes a nice change... but overall the best thing you can do is stick to basics.. try and remove any processed food from your diet because there is always a risk... with most of it... also this way the gluten-free diet is no more expensive than a normal diet...

Just buy fresh meat and veg....

If you're a curry fan nearly all the pataks stuff is gluten-free... as are most popadoms and chutney's... so if your not used to cooking from scratch (which really is no where near so difficult as you might think) you can whip up a gluten-free curry... etc. dead easy...

Same for the "discovery" brand mexican stuff.... the corn taco's and they make a couple of easy mixes for fajita's and taco's..

Well gfp you really do know your stuff...

I usually drink rooibos tea but accasionally have peppermint. At the moment i dont drink alcohol or milk so relatevely lactose free. I cook all my meals which is a bit time consuming but sure it will be worth it.

I will give booths a try, tried Sainsburies and tesco yesturday and Sainsburies did have a better range.

Do you live local, you know a bit about the area?
