I'm not in a good place, I've had severe hives/eczema on and off for the last 2 years, it's now almost constant. Through an elimination diet last year it seemed dairy was the culprit, so cut that out. Earlier this year I seemed to be reacting to all soy, so cut that out. Now I've had an intolerance blood test and it seems I can add egg white, lychees and yeast to the list. Plus I should limit my intake of caffeine, peppercorns, nutmeg, star anise and chamomile.
Any of these on their own is doable but no soy, yeast, dairy or egg white is a nightmare. Avoiding lychees is not such a problem! The advice is to eliminate for 12 weeks and then try reintroducing so I'm trying hard to be positive and look forward to an improvement (it's really affecting my sleep as well as it keeps me awake a lot at night) but the thought of trying to come up with things to eat, especially for lunch and breakfast, for 4 months, has already made me cry three times today. To add to it all I think DS (nearly 1) shares at least some of these intolerances.
Tomorrow I will get a grip and make a folder of recipes, and write a shopping list, but today, whilst I am moping around, does anyone have either experience (especially of the yeast side) or suggestions of what to eat for breakfast/lunch?
