It took me twenty-seven years to discover that I was food sensitive. And, incredibly, it wasn’t until I was forty and years after I had my two children, that I realised I could actually be diagnosed with ADHD. I had learned that the eczema that troubled me from birth to adulthood, the distractible thinking and noisy behaviour that was noticeable at school, the tummy aches, headaches, and much more that made life more challenging most of the time are all treatable and part of the big picture of … [Read more...]

I discovered a "thing" called "vestibular therapy" (I say this sarcastically because it was there all along, but none of my family doctors ever suggested this to me over the seven years of me complaining about dizziness). The vestibular therapist I was … [Read more...]

January 8, 2022 by Joan Breakey   Blog

Not all of it! We food-sensitive people have to realize that this is what happens! Wonderful friends and relations want to cook a meal for you and are fairly sure they know what you can eat. Some are wonderful and ask “Is a little rosemary OK?” or “I don’t use much cinnamon in my cake. We don’t like it too strong ourselves.” Each food sensitive person works on their diet until they get what works for them. Small misunderstandings can occur. You may tolerate a small amount of lactose-free … [Read more...]
