I have just found out I have intolerence to Dairy, wheat,Gluten, any of the nightshade family, Tuna and shrimp..

How do you make the move from eating everything in sight to having to avoid all kinds of foods. Tomato's, peppers and potato's were the staple part of my diet. I am not sure where to start, should I tackle each meal or go straight for cutting out these foods, I feel so overwhelmed by it all I really dont know where to start...

Any suggestions how did you go about making the changes...

Any advice would be good...

Unfortunately, you just have to suck it up and do it. I had a much longer list of intolerances, and it was hard, but it sure was worth giving them up! Now, 7 months later, I have no restrictions, except gluten. Feeling better is much worth it! Try to focus on what you CAN have instead of what you can't :D

Yup, you just have to jump right in. I've been doing an elimination diet for 60+ days. Soy, corn, legumes, dairy, wheat, seafood, nuts, strawberries. I've added gluten recently, and I'm giving nightshades a rest. I've been intolerant to spuds for a couple of years now and suspect I may have to limit the others. No fun really but it's gotten better. I have developed an auto-immune disorder and I'm being tested for more allergies later in the month. Hang in there and think of all you can eat.

Are you a celiac? I saw that you added gluten back in. Which auto-immune disorder did you develop?

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
