RE: Twenty years of cow's milk intolerance... cured?
What a post! Wow! I can relate to some parts of your story. My Lyme disease made switch to a gluten /sugar/yeast free diet and at occasions dairy free as well. At first, I felt there was nothing left for me to eat, as all the goodies were taken out. I had to educate myself and find ways to make food palatable using new ingredients. Yes, I totally agree that dining out can be embarrassing and annoying when you have dietary restrictions.
Thanks @lymepoet. Did you stick with all those dietary restrictions, or add things back when you were able to rule them out as trigger-foods?
I definitely found that having to avoid certain foods made me look at food and health in a new way, and I would cook for myself more instead of eating processed food, so there were some positives.
I was on that diet for almost four years. I learnt how to avoid triggers and navigate my way through the world of processed foods. ;0)
