Week 6 and counting!!!



I'm craving this food!!!!

 

It's week 6 and counting :)

 

 

An update so far... I have started the blind tasting with the capsules. The first capsule was not the best to introduce my body to this process as I had an allergic reaction for 3 days. It's amazing how my body reacted so quickly.

 

My current test is dairy. I am drinking a glass of milk for 3 days and then yoghurt and ricotta for the next 3 days. If no reaction, I can tick this off the list and have no allergies. Then I continue with the capsules until completed - hopefully by the end of this month.

 

How do I feel?

Tired. Flat. Fatigued. Unhealthy. Bored with Food. Hopeful. Committed to keep going. Dreaming of all the delicious food I can eat at the end of this.

 

I do have to say how wonderful my Dietician and Gluten Specialist is at RPA Allergy Unit. Kim is very caring and supportive. She may find me quite direct and frustrated through our appointments as I go on about not being able to eat anything, however, she smiles encouragingly and assures me I am doing a great job.

 

I am in way too deep to give up now! The first 6 weeks have actually gone quickly (hindsight is a wonderful thing!). I am hoping the 4 weeks ahead fly by to then be able to move on with a diagnosis and plan.

 

Stay tuned!
