I’m now starting my fourth week on my
yeast/dairy/gluten/garlic/chilli/ginger free diet – what a mouthful, huh? It was really daunting and difficult to start
off with, but I can actually say that I’m almost enjoying it now. I’ve seen a great improvement to my overall
health this last month; I’m not bloated every day, my skin feels and even looks
healthy, I’ve lost weight and I’ve felt that I’ve had a lot more energy
overall. I don’t tend to take many naps
anymore either, which was something I used to do near every single day! So yeah, I’m really happy that with another
two weeks to go, there is still potential to see even more good come from my
diet change.

At the end of the six weeks, I’m looking forward to
introducing garlic and chilli back into my diet… slowly. I’m pretty content now with my
gluten/yeast/dairy freeways, but I’m really excited to get some flavour back
into my life! I’m just really hoping
that these are not the foods that are contributing to my eczema, as the one
thing I miss the most from this whole experience is garlic!

There are a number of foods that I have come across
this last month that are surprisingly gluten/dairy/yeast free – which have
pretty much been my go too snacks and dinners:
-baked beans
-almond
butter
-quorn roast
chicken peices
-pombears
-kettle
chips
-quorn peppered
steak
-ruffles bars
-seabrook
lattice crisps
-linda mcarthney red
onion sausages
-skinny popcorn
-propercorn
-quorn bacon
-nakd bars
-eggs
-fruit yoyos
-rice cakes
-rice
-fruit winders
-plant based milks
-violife
cheese
-free
from salad cream
-free from pasta
-free
from chocolate
-fruit
and veg (low sugar preferably)
-frys peppermint creams
-tellytots
-alpro yoghurt
-lizis granola
-seabrook
ready salted crisps
-coconut oil
-nutribix
-tofu
-ninebars
There really isn’t that many things that are
suitable, but at the same time I’m still really surprised by the amount of
choice there is for the people who simply cannot eat gluten or dairy
alone. I thought that these two would be
the most difficult for me to stick too – but it turns out that finding foods
without garlic, ginger and chill has been just as equally awkward!
Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I
have actually enjoyed watching what eat, I feel really good about my overall
health at the moment and I hope that I have the will power to keep going in the
long run! I’m hoping to be able to cut
back on the flavoured water that I drink daily too, because I’ve recently
become more aware of the artificial sweeteners and how they can affect the
body. One thing at a time though kids!
Do you know anyone adjusting their diet right now
too?
Until the next one,
