Not too bad at the moment.

I've been reading posts & when folk are giving advice I agree with them so not been commenting.

I've begun to put weight on as a different dietician told me to stop using Skimmed Lactose for milk & change to semi skimmed. I still use skimmed for tea & coffee though. But as the dietician has decided that I'm now gluten & wheat intolerant, as mentioned before it's difficult replacing foods. The wraps are more like cellophane & the bread can only be toasted. I seem to be eating more dairy, wheat & gluten free chocolate/cakes. Not exactly healthy. My GP said intolerance tests not done, as like babies just reintroduce different foods.

Should see dietician next week ish & see what she says, 2 to 3lbs increase in 5 weeks isn't exactly what she expects.......I don't think, do you.

Re hot flushes, they're much worse than they ever where. GP says can't have any more HRT as risk of Cancer in my age group increases.......'put up & shut up then'?

So long post, advice please.

Thanks Jackie

Many thanks & oops another one gluten free to, I forgot to add that to the list!

My neighbour baked a nice loaf as a thank you gesture & it was lovely. The following day I said it probably had all the ingredients in I can't eat & she said it did & I was fine. I only had one slice & then 2 the day after. Probably OK as had no additives in it?

So, next step if this continues will be a bread making machine...as don't bake! My Dad had one many years ago so will see how I go on 1st.

Thanks,

Jackie

Home made goods are the way to go - you control what goes in them. I find I get very ill off commercial gluten free products, but if I bake them myself, no problems. I don't have a gluten or wheat intolerance though, just ate that during elimination testing.

Looks like I'm going to invest in a bread making machine! Will have to research what flour etc to use only 'cos the dietician says I'm now gluten/wheat intolerant too. So On on a good day I may even try some bread I used to eat. If nothing else I can see if I have any reactions to it!

Not a good start to today though definitely not a good day to reintroduce today.
