Special Diets

Post Reply New Topic

I'm gluten and dairy free, I can't have dyes or bananas, and I HATE it! There are many restaurants I can't go to because of it. It was awful in elementary school when I couldn't have class treats. I bring a lunch to school. It is AMAZING when there is something at any restaurant that I can have.

I don't have any food allergies (sorry you do ) but I know the feeling with restaurants. I have a super long list of things I can't/won't eat for either health, ASD or eating disorder reasons. When I'm forced to go out for a meal the menu makes me want to cry; so many things I want to be able to have, and yet nothing I actually can. I know about the class treats thing too, my parents didn't let us have sweets as kids so I just had to wistfully watch everybody else enjoying theirs .

Has a gluten and dairy diet helped you at all?

I have eliminated gluten from my diet before, but the results were disappointing. Gluten was rather difficult for me to avoid as it's seemingly in everything.

Yes, my diet has helped me.

Ever since I stopped eating a lot of junk food, I have gotten a lot better. Milk and lots of sugar give me lots of weird side effects now so I must've become more sensitized to it.

There were no noticeable changes when I was on a gluten etc free diet.
