[fast5] Just got a diagnosis ...

 

and sure would appreciate the group's advice.

I was tested last week for food allergies, and this morning the doctor's office called. I was told I tested positive for celiac disease AND I was also allergic to egg whites.

Whew.

I've had most of the day to think about it now, and am trying to find a good doctor to work with. But I'd also appreciate any suggestions or advice from the group. I know unexpected foods (like ketchup) contain gluten - but do things like frozen yogurt? And if frozen yogurt is gluten-free, is it also free of egg whites? (I'll look up a comprehensive list on the web - I'm sure there's one somewhere.)

Meanwhile, if you have any resources to suggest, or ways I can begin to adjust to this new way of eating, I'd be grateful. Fortunately (!), I just lost my afternoon job, which means I can go back to eating from 3:30 to 8:30 (the best window I've ever found for me). Looking forward to starting that very soon - and of course at the same time figuring out the whole gluten-free, egg-white-free thing.

Thanks in advance for your help - I have some symptoms (like skin itching and eruptions that don't quite heal) that I'd LOVE to see go away - maybe doing this will make that happen!

Susan
