Right now it's the weekend and I simply can't convince myself to spend any time worrying about the exact nutrient content of everything I put down. Rather than tell you all about friday, it seems like a good time to give more specifics on me, my health situation, and my fitness goals.
(Before that though-
I'm still going to be eating relatively clean on weekends( I rarely eat anything bad anyway.) Would you still like at least a photo update...like..."My Weekend Eating via Instagram" or something?)
Anywho. Today we'll talk about the food and health part some. As I said before, I have Celiac disease and a wheat allergy. Two different things, and I've dealt with almost all of the listed symptoms of each.Check the link if you want to get real deep...but here is what that means for me, personally. I was diagnosed at 16 years old. That being the case, my system was weakened by the years of exposure to gluten, and I developed multiple sensitivities and issues. What I can't eat:
what I can eat:
That's enough ingredients to make just about anything...but I'm sure there are foods left off that I can't think of right now. Trust, this girl finds food.
So what happens when I eat something I shouldn't? Usually VIOLENT stomach/G.I. pain and spasms, seveeeere bloating (to the point that I've had mild DR (seperating of the adominals) and stretch marks.Mederma is a life saver.) That's with gluten/wheat issues mostly. With that and other things it can range from a headache to a rash or fever,shortness of breath/tongue swelling, drop in body temp, fainting, tachycardia/v-tach, and seizure.
Awesome, right?
SO. Anyone out there dealing with anything similar? What's your biggest obstacle to eating right? Post questions and comments below.
Love ya'll.
