You know, I usually love my bed. Nowadays I don't really want to lie down in it 'cos, you know, owie back. Which sucks. *sighs* SO I'm staying up way too late, watching House, catching up on last season. (How much did the brothers in 508 make you think of wee Sam and Dean? Don't lie. A lot, right? Was there fic? This is the problem of being a year

I've had horrible acid reflux for ten years and been unable to drink orange juice but the doc got me some stuff for that and I drank a big glass of juice this morning and didn't feel anything! Yay!
Soups seem to be the thing.
We have pretty good dairy products here, including one that is almost completely fat free called skyr but since it's so sour my stomach hasn't liked it very much. Maybe it will be better now. You can get it with strawberry or blueberry and other flavours.
Dinner I'm going to leave for hubby to figure out. lol. He's looking into recipes and he's pretty resourceful.
The "what to eat when going out" has been something I've wondered about. Not that we often go out to eat like food but I do love going to cafés, hell I do most of my writing at cafés, and just drinking coffee without eating anything makes me kinda nauseous. So... yeah. Not sure what to do about that. I've asked and apart from ricecakes they have nothing gluten free. Ricecakes aren't exactly fulfilling.
I'm curious, what symptoms did you have that got better with a changed diet?

Afternoon/evening exhaustion was the biggie. I'd be fine until around 3 p.m., then hit a wall and drift unhappily until bedtime. I had all sorts of tests done, including for celiac, everything negative. And since I was fine until 3ish my doctor never actually saw me in zombie mode so pretty much ran out ideas after the bloodwork and etc. was fine.
So started eliminating things from my diet, and as soon as I cut out wheat I was normal again. Looking back, it aligned with other things - how I felt gross and hungry after eating bagels or a stack of pancakes, how I was fine when I was out an about with the kids (when I'd generally order a salad or ice cream) and most sluggish at home (where I was more likely to make myself a sandwich or have a cookie for a snack).
Over the past few years, IBS symptoms have also pretty much disappeared; not sure if that's related.
