Woohoo! Had a great party on my sofa last nite.. here is the last of my gin glasses!! So, ihaven’t counted anything all weekend.. I ate crisps.. yuk, tasted of chemicals, threw them away had an angel slice with my tea.. yuk.. manufactured air with added chemicals and loads of sweetness I had a can of fat coke and a choc bar.. the end result required antihistamines!!... 

.. my body couldn’t handle the caffeine/sugar/additives combo.. I was bright red and itchy all over.. to think I used to eat and drink this rubbish all the time is mind blowing! So, I’m slowly adding my FS friends to my follow list.. fs limits the number you can add at once! My joint inflammation is definable worsened by sugar/potatoes/additives and helped by IF.. So I’ll maintain at first, then work on developing and following a healthy WOE fir Gaelic gal.. Thanks fir all your help and inspiration.. have a great Sunday, my lovely FS friends 🤗🤗 

Oopsie.. read these posts in order of posting ☺️☺️ 

LOL I know what you mean about the additives and sugar and preservatives. The more of that stuff I get out of my diet, the better I feel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The other big one for me was milk. I still eat cheese and yogurt, but I switched to almond and coconut milk almost entirely for cooking and drinking. Just makes me feel better, less bloated. 🙋🏻‍♀️ 

I agree SMP.. my family are dairy farmers ( lots of milk) and Irish ( lots of tea).. I used to drink my tea half milk and happily go through a pint or two a day.. Now I have 2 tsp cream in decaf tea and drink water instead of milk or juice with my meals .. it defo works fir me too. I would also eat potatoes every day if I could, but last nights jacket potato 🥔 has reminded me how my joints really don’t like boghtshades.. it’s all part of learning isn’t it 😉 

Nightshades lol 

Absolutely on target.... 

I've gone off those type of processed foods too. Much prefer the taste of real food - lol! Sorry you had such a nasty reaction to the additives. Hope you feel better now 😘  

Thanks Gwen 

I’m fine now Doobs.. it was hilarious.. I nipped to a friends house for a cuppa ( she gas teenagers, need I say more😉).. and I felt really hot, but my friend is always cold, so I thought it was her heating.. Came home and OH asked me what I’d been doing, as I was bright red and hot all over , like sunburn.. he thought maybe I’d nearly killed myself going for a run ( a run for me would be miraculous) 🤣🤣🤣.. anyway, after cool showers and 2 days of Puritan I’ve survived 😉🤣🤗 

PIRITON.. defo not a PURITAN with all that gin.. and my friend, like me, HAS teenagers, but hasn’t GASSED them ( yet) 🤣🤣🤣 

🤣 glad you're feeling well now 😊
