Sweets And E-colours

Hi, I have several food allergies and intolerances but the worst off seems to be my reaction to gluten and grains.

My symptoms have become severe since last year so I have been on a reasonably strict gluten free diet and completely avoided snacks and as replacement had fresh or dried fruits instead. This majorly improved my health. For the first time in my life my digestive system WORKED! Until then it felt like I had no metabolism and I would gain weight, bloated, fall ill from every meal but with the new diet I became so happy!

Now here comes the BIG BUT. lol.

My craving for snacking have been off for longer than 4 years.

However, removing GLUTEN out of my diet meant limiting what seemed already limited food list.

Cos of my other sensitivities such as nut, soy, grains especially rice, heavy seasoned food, deep fries, lactose, etc meant I had already removed or found alternatives to those products. Loads of my favourite dishes have become off limits although at the time I did not mind, knowing it would improve my health.

So in replacements for baked goods, came along sweets.

They are not as fresh nor satisfying but that does not seem to be the problem any more.

I have been quite careful and been reading ingredient or 'Suitable for..' list but E colours are hard to learn.

Throughout research I learnt that some E flavourings or colorus contain GLUTEN or other potentially offending substances.. .

HARIBO.

Today I made sure i had ZERO amount of gluten in my dish but still reacted to something.

All the other dishes are fresh so the only suspected food is the Haribo tangastics I had earlier.

How annoying.

Despite being so careful, this happens.

Lately I feel like giving up well, sort of have already and consume on gluten or other offending foods anyway.

I am always followed up by consequences but there have been too many times like today when all the effort seems useless!!!!

Plus I bought Haribos instead of the cheaper ones, thinking they use better ingredients but hm.

E colour is E colour after all, I guess.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
