🌟 Story time….. just thought I would share with you all.
As many of you know I have always been health conscious, clean eating (mostly) 😂 fitness fanatic.
Over the past few months, 6 or so, I just haven’t been myself. Struggling to get moving, feeling tired, emotional, sick, I put every single symptom down to perimenopause. The last 8 weeks have been the worst, feeling “drunk” when I wake in the morning, pain in my body, being ill.
My friend Linda O'Donnell has been at me for long enough to go get some tests done, food tests and blood work done. So I finally listened 😂 I didn’t think I needed to as I ate good and thought it was just my age (50).
I had my food intolerance testing done and to say I was blown away is an understatement. 😨 EVERYTHING I had been eating I have an intolerance or allergy to. 😔 All this food had been causing major inflammation and mucus build up in my body and I had no idea, I was essentially poisoning myself.
Our bodies change but we don’t change with it sometimes, being in perimenopause has kicked in these intolerances.
I hit a bit of a panic because I didn’t know what I was going to eat, I can’t have dairy, nothing with gluten, lactose, no meats, no fish, my favourite veg and spices. 😭
I have THEE best friends though, they helped calm me down, brought some suggestions and food plans to the table. 🫶
For the first time in a long while I woke this morning and didn’t feel drunk, or in pain, or brain fog 😶🌫️ and all this just by changing what I had to eat. It’s going to take me a while to figure out all my alternatives but I’ll get there.
I have put the link bellow of the fabulous woman, Irene McCabe, that I went to see about my food intolerance. Please ladies, don’t just put how you feel down to menopause and live with it, have a check and it might just make a massive difference.
It’s going to be a bit of a process but I’ll get there.
Next week I’ll have my bloods done.
