A buddy, who has dealt with Irritable bowel syndrome for years, recently developed major gluten intolerance/allergy. I tried one of his gluten free beers........ it was horrific. He's moved onto tito's Moscow mules as his adult beverage of choice, which are quite tasty, but the poor guy still has a list a mile long of things he can't eat.

Allergies & Gluten Intolerance

Most people are not born with food allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances - they?re acquired.

13 Warning Signs of Food Allergies:

Tiredness, drowsiness, no energy: feeling continuously tired and out of sorts is often due to untreated food intolerance.

Frequent headache or migraines: the slight inflammatory response caused by sensitivity to certain foods (like yeasts, gluten, dairy etc.) can cause headaches

Stomach bloating, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence: all these including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's, and Colitis and are common effects of food intolerance.

Mouth Ulcers are hallmarks of an immune system under stress

Chronic cough, bronchitis, asthma, colds and 'flu': respiratory conditions are often related to food intolerance

Eczema, psoriasis, and chronic skin problems: skin conditions are just another form of inflammation. Moving to the correct diet can heal your skin.

Aching joints, backache: inflammation as an immune response takes place to food intolerance can settle in the leg joints (leg pain) or joints of the spine (backache).

Gradual weight change: Thyroid & metabolism are all affected by food intolerance.

Tinea or Yeast (Candida) infections: fungal infections like thrush, jock itch, and ring worm can all be signs of an underlying food intolerance.

Clumsiness, lack of coordination: when the nervous system is affected by food intolerance, unexpected muscular consequences can be observed

Miscarriage, infertility: choosing the right foods is key to a healthy pregnancy

Hemorrhoids and Ear pain: are all tied to food intolerance in many cases

Cravings, addictions: Are there foods you absolutely cannot live without? That's a form of addiction. Addictions are another sign of undiagnosed food intolerance.

Sports........it feels like to me you're not supporting my gluten free lifestyle? Today is day 5. I had a lovely weekend. Instead of Bourbon Saturday night I drank Tito's Vodka which is made of corn. For dinner I had grilled lamb chops and a Kale salad.

I wish you'd support my gluten intolerance instead of mocking it.

We all like to eat Chicky, but it sounds like you're eating all the wrong stuff? let me guess lots of fast foods and junk foods right?

Boys not mocking you but how can any alcohol be any good for you, even if it's made of corn ? As you know alcohol is a depressant so that kind blows the lack of energy.

I'm a very strict weekend warrior. I had two drinks Saturday night. Where did this energy thing come from? I have plenty of energy. In post #1 I mentioned I was having a skin issue, that's what this is all about?
