dairy

The plan is to go back to work next week, fit as a fiddle! I’m down to a few coughing fits (had one at 5am this morning) and woke up with a sore throat… and some other semi-related pains due to antibiotics messing with my pill and getting an extra period. *grumbles* Such is life. And I’d rather than that have a worsening chest infection, wouldn’t you? :p

Crumpets have been on special this week -so I’ve been buying them and eating them.. and I’ve been strong even though I bought Rish some Nutino (just a different brand of nutella) I haven’t had any. It’s strangely easy to resist yummy foods when you’ve made a connection between its ingredients and massive stomach pains and other unpleasant side effects. Much more motivating than the fat and sugar content of these things. Chocolate and cream and cheese might lead to weight gain if eaten too much, but then it will also lead to me feeling horrid for the rest of the evening.

At least that’s the theory. I’ve started a food and symptoms type journal to see if there’s other links instead of the dairy one. I like my milk and cheese and chocolate! Feta cheese seems to be okay, but not cracker barrel cheese on toasted sandwiches.

ahhh so looking forward to working again next week. And getting back to the gym!

Mmm, Soil Milk

April 21, 2009 · 0 comments

Once upon a time, my baby sister (who is not such a baby any more) was going through a childhood period of lactose intolerance. Some kids do these things.

Anyway, because her language wasn’t quite up to the awesome skill levels of her sister two years her senior, she had some difficulties with some semantic tasks. Like using words that sounded similar in the wrong place, with cuteness generally ensuing.

Soil milk, being the name she gave to soy milk. At the time, I think I agreed, as the Seventh day Adventist church, aka Sanitarium, hadn’t quite developed So Good soy milk to taste much better than potting mix.

It seems to have evolved, and so I’m trialling it for awhile, in my tea and coffee, on my oats. Just mucking around with the dairy in my diet to see if that helps with my annoying gut and perhaps my general health. I don’t think it will hurt me (unlike chelation for autistic kids) so I may as well. :) Wish me luck with the soil milk?
