Experiment
On Thursday I began my two-week trial of a dairy-less and wheat-less life. I began to wonder if my life-long battle with acne wasn't from a food sensitivity, since it began when I was so very young (5), and I've explored every other route known to modern science. I understand that the hormones of pregnancy and nursing are not helping me out any, but I also know that wheat and dairy have been my mainstay my whole life (cereal is my absolute favorite) and that I upped the quantities significantly during pregnancy and since Lily was born, out of both craving and convenience (string cheese and cereal anyone?). So here goes. Day three of brown rice for breakfast (and lunch and dinner, but only because I haven't looked into many wheat-free options...I probably won't do that research until I know that this is helping). For the record, I THINK I might have FELT better yesterday. But that could have been more sleep.

How is this going? I tried this exact same thing in college once and it was to help with a constant bronchial thing. It seemed to help and then I went back to wheat and dairy. If you love cereal, you can still eat oat and rice cereal and put in rice milk or soy milk...yummy!
Today begins a 21-day (minimum) no-sugar stint for me...so we can go through withdrawl together if you like!
actually, you can't eat oats (still have gluten) and rice crispies and corn flakes have malt, which contains gluten...so does soy sauce, etc. It's actually really complex to try to keep gluten out of your life. sigh.
wow -- didn't know all that! Are you still doing this? I am curious how it is going...there are some interesting books out about gluton and how it impacts the brain. I have been thinking alot about this as Adrik starts eating people food. I guess its worth looking in to.
