I'm curious...any one Gluten Free like me?
I have Gluten Intolerance & have been on a Gluten Free diet for
over 3 years. For those who don't know what that means, I can't
eat wheat, barley, rye, spelt, oats, flour, food starch, baking mixes,
etc.
I have found Gluten Free brands of pasta, bread, & flour made from
rice, potato & corn that taste ok, but as you can imagine, they don't
have the fiber or the complex carbs that wheat products do. I limit
how much of these starchy products I eat.
It was quite a challenge in the beginning to adjust to Gluten Free
eating, but I feel like it sort of helped me get ready for WLS. By the
time I decided surgery was for me, I was already eating better &
had pretty much given up on eating out because of the cross
contamination issues. So, those were habits I didn't have to break.
Any other intolerances or allergies out there? My doctor said that
sometimes people develop them AFTER surgery. Luckily I haven't
had that problem.
