I agree harrigran but what do you mean by a whole food group?

It is extremely unwise to eliminate whole food groups from your diet before being advised by a medical expert.

Really good to hear nanapug!

I get phases of craving bread...... Seriously daft I know.

Yes, I am having a bit of a carbohydrate phase at the moment and it isn't doing me any good at all.
Stupid, I know.

Yes, sounds to me that you need to cut the bread out Tegan, it's hard though isn't it? I don't know why I found it so much easier when I saw for my own eyes in black and white which things were affecting me.

When I did a detox and eliminated a lot of food from my diet I felt amazing and wish I could have stuck to it. Our bodies use up a lot of energy coping with foodstuffs that aren't suitable for us. I'm going through a bread eating phase at the moment and am feeling lousy which is stupid of me given that I don't have to eat it.

A few weeks back I mentioned on here that I had had blood tests for food sensitivities so I thought I would feed back on the outcomes. A few of you were a little sceptical about it (which I understand) but it was done by a reputable person through a reputable company and I felt so dreadful that I was prepared to try anything.
Well, the outcome has been incredible. I was told I was extremely sensitive to all dairy and eggs and also sensitive to sunflower oil, lentils and grapes. So for about a month now all these things have been excluded from my diet (sunflower oil being the hardest funnily enough as it is in so much).
I can not get over how much better I feel. I am no longer bloated and uncomfortable, I have so much more energy, when I wake up in the morning after an amazing nights sleep I am wide awake and not sleepy, I am not tired in the day and my joints are so much better. However the thing that I find most interesting is that I no longer crave rubbish. I am eating so healthily and can happily sit with people eating cakes for instance (which of course I can't have) and I have no desire for them at all. It's quite fascinating. They do say that one craves the things you should not be having and it seems that that is true in my case.
I know I sound like a born again food intolerance tester but I just wanted to share as I feel so good. I have just realised that this sounds like an advert. I promise you it isn't.
I am off to a wedding next month so am not looking forward to having to work my way round the food there though so it does have its down side, and Indian take away is now out of the question, which is very sad!!
