[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2199653, member: 345386"] Woollygal, waaaaaaay back, I speculated you might have some food sensitivities. I'm still minded to think the same. I'm not suggesting you are very sensitive to gluten, as I'm not clear enough on these specific triggers, but I do recall you having significant issues coming off "normal" bread? For me, if I have gluten, I feel like I've been hit by a bus. I'm exhausted, and want to sit on the sofa watching awful TV. I feel bloated, and over a couple of days my tummy goes like a cannon ball, then it "releases". (I'll spare the specifics.) It takes me 2-3 weeks to get over that, so I just avoid like the plague now. I didn't think I had an issue with gluten, but was told to go GF by the Endo I see for my wonky thyroid. After a number of months, I had a lightbulb moment that I felt, just better. At that point, I hadn't had bread for years, but gluten is sneakily in lots of things. To repeat, I'm not suggesting gluten is your thing, but more describing how sneaky food intolerances can be, and how when we avoid said food, our sensitivity can have increased, because we're not used to it. Just a (probably depressing for you) thought. [/QUOTE]
