Ma...M&S have started doing sourdough crumpets. May be worth trying.<br /><br />When my asthma is at its worst, I cut out milk (in fact, I still stick to skimmed milk when I can even when well), soft cheese, nuts, coconut, chocolate and spicy food. However, chocolate seems to be the thing that keeps my epilepsy away, so I will have a very small amount of the darkest choc possible whatever.<br /><br />I personally think that the Chorleywood process and all the chemicals that sail in it is the real culprit in many wheat / gluten / yeast issues. A proper artisan bakers opened in Enfield just over two years ago, and since we've been eating their loaves I've really noticed the difference.<br />Blue Shed Thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988028935854371365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11687803620757614182015-01-23T20:15:18.698-08:002015-01-23T20:15:18.698-08:00It is so hard to cut certain foods out of our diet...It is so hard to cut certain foods out of our diet.<br />I have been cutting out food and then possibly letting some back in for about 40 years now.<br />Sadly I never see the fast results as you.<br />I use to write every thing down so I could track.

I want to be scepticle but the proof is in the pudding, so to speak, and when you think of it, logical. The gut is responsible for so much of our health, which is why all this crap junk food is taking such a toll. <br /><br />CT - it's a barger having to keep cutting things out (and always the things we like most), but I guess worth it in the long run.

I have reduced or cut out many of the foods you mention so I sympathise, but it is also true that things become normal once you've been doing them a while and if you start to feel better it's well worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-9772659809482475732015-01-21T01:44:36.959-08:002015-01-21T01:44:36.959-08:00Dawn - It won't be easy but if I just try and ...Dawn - It won't be easy but if I just try and hit a better balance, then that will help. The no leftovers is the hardest part as I always cook big panfuls of main meals, and freeze portions. I am NOT going to go without curry, but will blend my spices rather than buying a ready-mixed curry powder and leave out the cinnamon/cloves element that appears in some blends.<br /><br />Pam - I'm the other way, my asthma medication depletes Potassium from my diet, so I have to try and top it up. I am glad that incorporating changes does become automatic with time - I am still trying to make it automatic cutting out th dairy (milk products appear in SO many things!) I'm glad your son seems to be better now.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-79700204558714379272015-01-21T01:01:09.284-08:002015-01-21T01:01:09.284-08:00When my son was first diagnosed with Renal Failure...When my son was first diagnosed with Renal Failure he went on a low salt. low Potassium diet. this was to keep him alive so had to be followed totally, we all followed it for many reasons, the main one being that I would have nothing in the house that he could not eat or drink It may not be easy but soon turns into routine and like you we did not eat out and I made everything from scratch. It is no longer necessary, and I do have salt and potassium rich foods in my diet now, but make many things from scratch and read all food labels.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-3981821834037309122015-01-21T00:45:43.246-08:002015-01-21T00:45:43.246-08:00Oh dear you have cut out all my favorite foods, I ...Oh dear you have cut out all my favorite foods, I would starve, I am so glad I don't have problems with food, well only one cheese I am cheese free I have a bad reaction to it, its something to do with the rennet so having not eaten since I was wee child I don't miss it, <br />Have a lovely trip and I look forward to your report back and photos :-)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
