For me, changing my diet to exclude dairy, eggs, gluten, corn and refined sugars was not that hard.
I wanted to feel better! And I would do anything to feel better!
However, I know statistically, that for many people quitting their food allergens or intolerances can be very difficult. In fact, we can actually be addicted to our food intolerances.
Making a mind shift is necessary to quit certain foods.
I wrote an article for My Life With Food Allergies listing 10 tips for quitting your “bad for you” foods. Click here to read it.
Great article! I started eating gluten free because my husband has really severe coeliac disease and it’s easier for him when we don’t have to worry about cross contamination all the time. Before he was diagnosed he had so many health issues and I remember telling him he should reconsider what he was eating. It took getting a proper diagnosis before he was able to change his eating, and what a difference it has made! He still has his health issues, but they are so much more manageable now that he has given up dairy and grains. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of people need to be obviously impacted in their health before taking it seriously…..Thanks for sharing! I’ll pass this on to friends who are currently going through diet changed 🙂
