Progress Report And Decompression

[SunnyDyRain]

So when we last left the saga that is SunnyDyRain's life, she was in horrible gas and bloating pain any time I ate anything. Suspecting Soy Intolerance and Candidia overgrowth.

Things with my well being has improved. This week I have been pretty much eating Gluten Free, Dairy Lite and Soy-lite. Dairy and Soy lite was if it's a small amount of dairy in a product (milk powder in gluten-free bread) or small amount of soy letchin or soybean oil. I have also avoided processed sugar, and fruit.

I am better! I have no idea what made me feel better! It really may have been a bug as my b/f had a night of GI toubles (he accused my celiac of being contagious!), It may have been the use of careegean in the silk so milk and soy ice cream I was eating alot of last week. It might have been a candidia problem with all the sugar. I just don't know! On top of it all... allergies are driving me crazy!

What I do know is that I cheated and had to put soy sauce on my soyfree stirfry today, and it didn't make me sick. What i do know is that I ate cheese on my tacos tonight and i'm good so far. I am getting so confused with my body.. so I'm just going to go to the sourse.

Monday I'm going to see my doc. I'm asking for:

Redo of Celiac panel - to see if my numbers are going down... or am i glutening my self and blaming it on other stuff.

ELISA food intolerance test - To see what is reacting.

Candidia Test - To just make sure that everything is in balance.

I don't feel 100% I feel better than I did before going gluten-free, but it's not a huge improvement. Much much better than last week though.

I welcome your thoughts and and ideas.

Congrats on improvement!!

gluten-free eating only gets easier.

Maybe as much improvement on top of that if Dairy-Free, Soy-Free? Only the one way to know.

I use ricemilk now. And I found a hazelnutmilk and a hempmilk, but they cost more.

The bug part seems doubtful. Were his GI troubles enough motivation for him to drastically change his diet the way your issues were?

Hehe u *did* title it "Put me out of my Misery".

He just complained about having D that night then took some Immodoum. I don't take Immodoium because I figure if they stuff is bad for me, I want it to get the heck out ASAP (ok it could wait long enough for me to get to the bathroom).

I was doing dairy(casien) free, but when combined with the soy problems I found that it was too overwhelming and limiting for me this week. I have intensions on going back casien free, then soy free once I can get an i-oda of routine and control in my life. I've been spending weekends with my parents and living the weeks in a small apartment. Food is too expensive to just throw out because of a little soy. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I'm seriously trying to not buy groceries until july 9th. I think I might have to buy some veggies for next week, but we need to keep it cheap.

I had rice milk, I really found it too sweet and watery. I will have to try others.

Sounds like a good plan!

Was it WestSoy's RiceMilk? I think no sweetener in there.

No, it was Nature's Promise it's a store brand. I will attempt it again with WestSoy's to see if there is a difference (If i can find it! )
