I had my first appointment with the nutritionist today and had a lot of questions answered.
1. I should avoid all dairy for now since I had such a strong response to cow's milk, but I may find in 4-5 months that I can introduce some cheeses and maybe other animal's milk back into my diet.
2. Butter's ok since it doesn't have casein or lactose in it, but I should use it minimally in case there's something else in cow's milk I'm allergic to.
3. I should only use a small amount of onions/leeks since I had a strong reaction to garlic.
4. I don't have to be extremely careful with gluten...if the ingredient list doesn't contain gluten, I'm fine, even if it's manufactured/cooked in places where gluten is prepared.
She also gave me a helpful list of foods for GI health categorized as eat unlimited amounts, limited amounts and avoid. We made sure to cross off my food sensitivities. Finally, we went through my normal daily meals and she helped me come up with similar things that would fit my new diet.
As I still have some leftovers, I'm planning to try some new things tomorrow.
Interestingly, I've noticed the past few days that Pepsi now tastes sickeningly sweet to me. Not sure why that is, but nonetheless a change.
