An update on the migraines: I had a headache (both sides) on Sunday afternoon, which wasn't too bad but the painkillers (paracetemol + ibuprofen) were doing nothing for. On Monday, it moved to one side (did swap a couple of times) and got worse and worse during the day, but would sometimes almost stop hurting at times. Monday night, couldn't sleep because...

I am intolerant to milk as well, but there seems to be another intolerance there as I still get some symptoms and hella migraines (got one now )

I am lactose intolerant, but I still eat it, because Mum likes me to have calcium. I'm not allergic and have actually managed to go from almost no tolerance to being able to eat small amounts of cheese and yoghurt gracefully, but normal milk and cream do hurt me. (Lactose free milk for the win I get really bad stomach cramps, more inclined to get excema...

Oh whoa thanks for the ideas guys! Looks like I can make breaky more interesting AND get healthier!! I can sort of cook (with practice I'm sure I'd improve) I just never know what to cook. Eggs are something that really kinda fell out of my diet lately, so I'll try having them on toast, omletes etc for breakfast! Cooking in larger portions then splitting...

Sorry to post two topics today, but I saw some posts in other topics that made me want to ask: are migraines a common symptom? I've been getting migraines on and off since my early teens. For the last year I've been 'migrained' for usually 5-6 days of each week. Lately they've been really bad, and my mum sent me marching (over the phone) to the doctors...

When I first went gluten free, it felt like EVERYTHING was contaminated. Try going right back to basics again. Check everything, your spice rack, the spreads on your toast, everything. Have you been diagnosed celiac or were you trialling the diet? And have you considered another intolerance, like lactose?

Thats so sweet, that they thought of you! In a world where people are out for themselves alot of the time, its good to know some people still care for others! I nearly cried when my friends purposely cooked gluten free food so I could eat the same as everyone else. I know that it tastes plain to people who don't normally eat it, but it was nice not to...

I think I can do that for dinner, lately I've been eating gluten-free suasages, steaks, chicken, bacon with steamed veggies (brocoli, corn, and carrot, mainly). I also eat alot of potato (probably part of the problem). What kinds of foods would you suggest for breakfast and lunch, plus snacks? I never really learnt to cook and am not very creative in...

Hi all, I'm Jay, new to this forum. I'm a 20yo Aussie girl. Its really hard to write all this out and keep it short, but without the background my question is kinda hard to answer, so here goes: Why I went Gluten free two and a half years ago: (Was 17, now 20yo) Before I went gluten free, my diet consisted of: wheaten cereal and toast for breakfast...
