Food Intolerance - 1 month after

It has been exactly a month since my last visit to the Healing Resonance. (this post), which I was told to avoid wheat and milk products as I have an intolerance to them. Well, I haven’t been listening to the nutritionist totally. It was so difficult to completely avoid them unless I cook my own meals EVERYDAY! (although I do bring bentos for lunch, I just hate the washing part.)
Some bentos that I've made in June:






I took the medications religiously, although I didn’t completely avoid wheat products (can’t bring myself to avoid cakes and pastries, I avoid noodles and pasta thou). Been living like a southern Chinese (their staple is mainly rice and rice products, northern Chinese’s staple is noodles, dumplings, and other wheat products).

The result, I experience less bloat-ness in my stomach, which means, no unnecessary burping after meals! =))

I’m trying to incorporate some wheat products back to my diet. According to the nutritionist, the best way to fight intolerance is to eat a variety of food, do not just consume a certain type! I still avoid eating wheat (noodles, pastas, bread, etc) as a meal, but only part of a meal. For example, instead of eating just pasta, I’ll trade ½ of it with whoever wants to share with me and is having non-wheat (eg: rice).


It is still quite troublesome, but at least I can get to eat 2 types of food for my meal =DD

Bellabox will be delivered today! Can’t wait for mine to arrive.

**Update**
I have not received my box yet =(

Food Allergy / Intolerance

Came across this at outlet.com.sg and bought it without thinking too much.

 Went for a Food Intolerance & Allergy Test by Healing Resonance.

At Block 7 Everton Park #01-19 Singapore 080007, which is very near to my office.

Turns out that I have intolerance to wheat, gluten and milk =(

That means, I cannot have prata, thosai, all kind of breads, milk, noodles (includes instant noodles), yogurt, biscuits, Milo =( etc. Almost all the food that I love!

Bought these medication, which is suppose to help with my stomach bloating. Total damage $88 +$68 = $156.
I really did stay away from wheat products for 5 days, until the 6th day, I was feeling hungry in the office and I ate 2 pc of cheese biscuits. Only 2 pcs, and it left my tummy bloating until the next morning. And I still have 1 new box of it at my work station.
The good part is, my tummy definitely feel less bloated after avoiding wheat. The doctor advise my to stay away for 1 month, and then probably to eat them occasionally. I will feel that occasionally means treats. Haha.
Its good to know what you are allergic or intolerant to as the usual GP does not tell you when you go to them. There are other more in-depth tests out there. Be sure to find out more before paying!
