LACTOSE INTOLERANT

Its said that if you are lactose Intolerant you cant digest the sugar part of the milk and some dairy products. Apparently, I was suffering from this and I had no clue about It. For a while now, I’ve been having symptoms such as Irritable bowel syndrome, stuffy nose, headaches and lack of energy. Little Did I know It was because of Milk. I’ve been a cheese lover all my life, and of course butter.. Mmmm its delicious. So, I started this diet I mentioned In the last entry of the blog. I noticed some results after I stopped eating milk products and In some cases diary. I noticed less migraines and I could actually breathe better. Its been super hard because I love everything diary and everything cheese. Its specially hard eating out when you go to a restaurant for some reason everything includes either butter o cheese if you take out this main ingredient the recipe does not taste the same. Everything In life a sacrifice and I decided to give this a try for my well being. Another thing that came to show was while prohibiting myself from this foods, I had better digestion and of course the downfall after consuming them, all the same symptoms came back right away NOT COOL. What can I say? Sometimes I just cant say No to Pizza. I do have some options for you to try if you are just like me. I’ve been doing some research about substitutes and probably stuff that has less whey or lactose. I’m intolerant to Whey, so even If I have lactose free milk there could be some whey in it. Whey is the sugar In milk, the protein part. I found online this yogurt its called SIGGI is an Iceland yogurt has 0% milk fat. I’m so happy to have found this cause I love yogurt. I used to eat it everyday until I found out about my intolerance. I haven’t tried it, and I'm guessing Its price but I’m going to buy it. Another Thing I’m drinking is almond milk which taste a lot like milk and basically what I do every time I’m going to make a recipe like brownies or pasta I use this instead, Its not like the real thing but it works.. Remember to watch what you buy on the supermarket because not all companies include all of the ingredients, and they have this sneaky way of saying “oh we have a facility that uses milk, nuts or what not” be sure to check Those not active ingredients because you don’t know how much of them were included in their products. Id say try to buy fresh foods, if you can, less bottles cans or bags because that way you can control of you are eating..

Migraines and Food

Hello again,
After numerous searches for the migraine cure. I find myself with a possible solution. On november of 2015 , I decided to undergo a test called ALCAT, which is a food and chemical sensitivity test. I had no knowledge on this subject whatsoever, but My dad had recommended this and I decided to give it a try. I had tried just about everything, gone to different neurologist and migraines never seem to get better. In this test , It came out that I had different sentivities and allergies regarding food and ingredients. The diet is super strict, I had to watch what I ate at home, at the restaurants and what foods I bought in the supermarket. It was super exhasting to look and all the tiny letters behind all the stuff they sell at the supermarket. After a month or so, I started seeing results.. Fewer headaches , unless I cheated and then the headaches were back. I realized a while back that My migraines were connected to the food I ate because another doctor had recommended a gluten free diet, and I remember I barely had any headaches at that time, but that diet was far worst than the ALCAT one, and I didnt wanna live prohibiting myself from what I ate. In my opinion, that was no way of living. But then.. suddenly my migraines began to feel worse and worse. Until i couldnt deal with them anymore and I had to go on a strong medication which had made me feel like a monkey or maybe a donkey. I also decided I had to stop medicating myself and thats when I heard about the alcat. ANother thing was that I had to watch what lotions and soaps I use for my skin, cause those things could also have ingredients that could get into my bloodstring and provoke those terrible headaches. I decided to take it all out, if i was gonna do THis thing i was gonna do It right. It was like an experiment to me.. The first time I was 10 days without a headache.. That tasted like Glory to me, A sweet victory. But then I got a headache just today.. But this was my fault cause I had a bunch of junk food today, and stuff Im not suppose to eat. At the end , At least now I know what is the culprit from my sorrow and Even though is hard and sometimes I wanna eat everything that I shouldnt. A world without migraines looks much better than a nutella jar.

If you want to know more about the alcat test.. I sincerely recommend you give it a try.
Try until something happens, dont give up
