Did I miss something? How can you eat gluten when you previously couldn't?
Yes, thanks to the magic of modern medicine. The root cause of my particular food allergies is something called SIBO, which is a relatively recent discovery in the world of medicine. There is no permanent treatment yet, but they have some short-term medicines you can cycle through to see what works. Longest has lasted 5 weeks, shortest has lasted 2 days. I can basically digest food properly for a period of time when I find one that works, so it doesn't matter what I eat...dairy, gluten, corn, anything I want, until my system gets unbalanced again (which happens regardless of diet). Again, no permanent cure yet, but when the treatment is working, I don't die when I eat gluten or dairy, which is amazing.
Lots of interesting "normal" side effects with it. I've never felt full in my life...it was a new experience not needing to eat anymore after having a meal. I got energy after eating instead of pain or fatigue. I could eat donuts for breakfast and feel good, instead of needing to lay down & taking a nap. I've never felt good after eating & I've always been either hungry, or had pain from too much food because, comparing my stomach to a blender, it wasn't blending properly.
Huge gamechanger. It's nice to feel good throughout the course of an entire day now :thumbsup:
