My Food Diary

Miranda — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:45:26 +0000

Here goes the second week of my food diary, I had some good feedback regarding the food diary so decided to carry on with my updates. I have had a bit of an up and down week, as some dairy managed to sneak into a curry I ate in a restaurant and I have been suffering for the last few days. It’s a real pain but just reinforced my mission to stick to my food intolerance’s and also importance of enforcing dietary requirements when eating out.

On the plus side I am still celebrating the Egg Free Pancakes I made yesterday and also writing my food diary reminded me of a fantastic treat I made: small bowl with 1/2 chopped banana, few nuts, a spoon of thick coconut milk and sprinkle of cocoa powder – if you feel in the need of something really tasty this is delicious!

My food restrictions are:
Sugar Free & Yeast Free (due to candida diet), intolerant to: gluten, dairy, eggs, some oily fish and cashew nuts.

Also as part of a healthy balanced diet and avoid energy lows I am aiming to eat 5 times a day; three main meals and two proper snacks (all of which must contain some protein). Each main meal needs to be eaten slowly with a balance of 1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein and 1/2 vegetables.

Food Diary

Miranda — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:43:55 +0000

I recently had a follow up consultation with my dietitian (part of the service provided by YORKTEST), scheduled three months after my initial consultation. During this three month period the focus was to treat my clostridium and remove the newly restricted foods found on my food intolerance test results.

I feel much better than I did three months ago, mainly lots more energy, but still not 100% so now I am on a new mission, to attempt to rid my body of the candida overgrowth, recently confirmed on my Gut test.
