A better day

Sunday 20/07

1st official day of wheat elimination and dairy reduction

After yesterday it would certainly seem that wheat is more of an issue than dairy, though I am still trying dairy alternatives and reducing high fat dairy from my diet.

Yesterday I ate:

Late Lunch: Fish and Chips at Sainsburys cafe.  I hadnt eaten all day as nothing in the house seemed 'safe' and by the time we got to the store I was feeling really sickly.

After a few mouthfuls I realised I shouldn't be eating the batter (flour) and took the rest off.

Tea:
Pork steak, rice, mushrooms and green beans.

Drinks:
Coffee and tea with skimmed milk and loads of water and Ribena

Treats:
Free From Tiffin


Today, so far, I have had no negative issues with my tummy.
My eyes are very itchy and the eczema on my hand has flared up again so Im still not sure if that is being caused by food or pollen. 


This morning I have had rice crispies with almond milk and a little maple syrup.
I was really surprised at how nice the almond milk is, though I couldnt put it in my tea as it is sweet.
Need to look into unsweetened options next week. 

Also want to look into how well milk substitutes heat up as I usually have a 50/50 mix of espresso and milk for my coffee. 

Will be like a chemistry lab in my kitchen this week.
