Is there anyone out there who like me, has a problem with certain foods. I don't have anything as drastic as an allergy. Maybe if I did life would be more bearable. I have suffered with food intolerance for several years now and sometimes it makes me feel so down, depressed and isolated I can't bear it. For ages I went to the doctors because I kept being sick or felt unwell and test after test they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Eventually I started to put on weight but I just couldn't understand why? I was convinced it was food related and did a test privately with York Test Labs and discovered my problem was cows milk and wheat. I eventually found supplements for both of these, though not half as tasty, and the weight just dropped off me.
Now I am doomed to a life without these two staples in my diet. I have to read everything and watch what I eat. With this intolerance you don't get any help to pay for the food you need. The ranges of specialist food are not the cheapest to buy and some of them I have to say don't taste brilliant. I still crave bread and milk and often have weekend's where I fall off the wagon on go on a bender and end up suffering badly the following day.
I wanted to buy some free from rice crispies but they only seem to be sold in America. I have only found one Ice cream that I know of that tastes almost like the real thing. If I did get the cornflakes I can only drink strawberry soya milk so would have to have that on my breakfast. I feel lost. Can anyone come up with some suggestions for meals or tasty treats that don't cost much to make. I have a bread maker but am rubbish at making my own. I can do cakes but so far have only really ventured as far as muffins or butterfly cakes. Anyone any suggestions?
