Hi girls.
So I have been having a hard time lately; I have recently found out I am no longer able to eat any food which contains the following:
Gluten
Wheat
Potato Starch.
My whole life I have always bloated in a way which is not normal, I am normally a size 6, however when I eat certain food I look approximately 9 months pregnant (which worried my boyfriend). I was constantly tired, moody, bloated, in pain, had migraines. I knew it was not normal however I thought the longer i put it off the less real it would be, silly i know but heyho!
My GP advised me to have a blood test straight away to ensure they were able to diagnose me correctly. The bloods came back as normal which annoyed/upset me as I knew something was seriously not right. She then later went on to explain the blood test is for the disease 'Celiac'. This is extremely good news I do not have this, as it can be severe and cause long term issues. I do however have a reaction to this food causing all my symptoms. I have since cut all this food out and I can not tell you how amazing I feel!! I have so much energy, I am no longer moody (well as moody), my headaches and stomach pains have gone. It does however become hard when it comes to ordering a take away and my family/Boyfriend are eating chips, pizza, burgers and I'm sat there with a salad! :( But I guess its something I will get used to.
I don't usually write or even talk about personal stuff however I believe this is such an important subject I must. Please girl, if you have any symptoms like I had please go see your GP. Also if anyone is suffering with the same as I am, please come forward I would love to speak with you and found out how you are managing.
Speak soon,
xoxo
