[QUOTE="mamamia, post: 141966, member: 4943"] I am gluten intolerant myself and it's not really that hard to go girlfriend/CF as long as you plan ahead. I eat dairy now but didn't my first year of the girlfriend/CF diet. One key in changing my diet was to focus on whole foods only. Nothing processed. I rarely ate out, and if I did, it was at a place where I could get "plain" food - like a steak and broccoli. I learned to love goat cheese while CF part of my diet (although I never got used to goat milk or goat yogurt), and I gave myself permission to eat some things that I hadn't before - like bacon, and plenty of red meats. and full-fat salad dressings. I've also eliminated almost all sugars from my diet. I feed my family the same things I eat, although I often buy them gluten extras - like breads and rolls and regular pizza crusts, etc. Cross contamination used to be a big problem for me but now that I've been doing this 3 1/2 years I seem a lot less sensitive to trace amounts of gluten. For about 2 years, however, I was hyper sensitive. The Breaking the Vicious Cycle diet is a lot more restrictive than girlfriend/CF, actually. No raw fruits or veg, but you *can* have dairy, as long as it's homemade yogurt. Pretty tricky, actually. I wonder if I should try this with-my little ADHD/grumpy guy. We don't do red food dyes and try to avoid all simple sugars...but he certainly loves his gluten-containing foods...he has no digestive issues, however. I'll think on it. m [/QUOTE]
