Food and ME and I.

I've always had a problem with food, I think I just didn't realise it, or want to realise it until now.

Since my teens I've had migraines, I was diagnosed with Chronic Rhinitis probably fifteen years ago, chips make me cough and I react to our dining room table!

It wasn't until I was getting more and more extreme reactions with my ME that I realised I had to do something about it. To add to the Symptoms of ME I was eating some things and within fifteen minutes had to go and sleep; I felt as if I'd been poisoned. The resulting symptoms could last for a couple of days.

Thankfully a friend of my sister's, a Health Coach in the USA, has come to the rescue and is helping me work out what foods I react to with an elimination diet.

A week in and I'm over the dreadful detox symptoms and feel great; almost like the old me! In a week we start to reintroduce some foods to test my reaction to them.

I know it will be a long process, but I also know even so early on that it will be so worth it!
