  • Oh, my medical team aren't the ones I'm arguing with over it, you've mis-read my comment I meant wait staff, I don't want an argument when they're in control of if my food is contaminated or not
  • I had my blood tests/endoscope yesterday and I dreading both being told that I'm coeliac, and that I'm not Obviously I'd prefer if it were 'just' severely gluten intolerant, any gluttonings will 'just' effect my body for a few days/a week, and not long term But, I suspect I'll keep saying I'm coeliac to people not close to…
  • Your PT is an *kitten*. I personally would be looking for a new one I did long-distance walking for a good year (and still sometimes do) because it fit what I wanted (better lung function, stronger legs, generally a bit fitter). Sure I've started running now, but only because I want to, else there's no way I'd do it…
  • I used to get this, turns out it was a symptom of Coeliac disease It might be worth noting it down, and adding other 'minor' issues as they occur, in case there's a pattern? (had I done this earlier I would've had a huge list and would've seen my doctor quicker! Obviously I'm not saying this is what it is for you, but it…
  • I use oat milk on my cereal (it also comes in chocolate variety), but hemp milk in my hot drinks as it's one of the few subs I've found that doesn't curdle or separate when hot
  • Allergy testing isn't an exact science, it will only show if your body as certain antibody, which I don't have. In theory this means I won't actually die from a reaction, but each one is getting worse so it's something I don't want to risk! I initially did a vague elimination test (not strict, mostly because I was only…
  • As a heads up, from someone with a milk protein allergy, it's really not as simple as "this is dairy", you will have to look at ingredient lists Oh, and my allergy doesn't show up on tests, despite going into full anaphylaxis at the mere whiff of cream :( Non-cooked/bacteria altered dairy and extracts are what you need to…
  • You can develop an allergy to milk, but it won't be related to the lactose intolerance. Milk allergies are an allergy to the protein in milk, the only real way to know is to cut out dairy all together, except this includes dairy extracts (casein being the main word used). I'm not sure where you are, but if you're in the US…
  • One/both of them of them are out, have you got anything you know the weight of you could try? Flour, pet food, bottles of water? (1litre = 1kg, plain water, assuming you're not anywhere high/low/hot/cold) Essentially you need to play Jenga on your new scales :p
  • I'm currently at 220lbs and would strongly recommend walking first. I'm doing my first half marathon this weekend, and I'm only now starting to think about moving to jogging/running As someone who didn't really have any experience of walking/jogging/running for fitness I managed to almost screw up my hips and calves VERY…
  • Ack, sorry, I didn't realise MFP doesn't tell you when there's a reply! I'll pm you my email address so you can add me on mapmywalk :) This is my first walk, it's my "I'm not longer ruled by a back injury" defiance!
  • *waves* Me! (and my SIL and her mum) I'm doing the half marathon. I started training early so am already up to 9 miles (today in fact!), I wasn't sure if I'd cope very well, hence starting early Do you have a smartphone? I've been using the mapmywalk app to measure what I'm doing, and the training plan on the Shine website…
  • I'm training for a walking half marathon, and I LOVE mapmywalk.com I'm discovering areas around where I live (mostly by using it to auto create routes for me), and they have phone apps that use your GPS to track you/your timings as well as showing the route
