IG: Man, gluten-free + low glycemic can be so challenging when you’re traveling a foreign county that doesn’t get it. But I’m staying strong and doin’ it kids (the low glycemic as best as possible). As everyone else sips their beers, eats their soft shell tacos, pastries, pasta, pizza, cookies, blah blah blah, I’m staying true to my commitment, for MY HEALTH. Yeah, I love gluten-containing foods so damn much, but I recently found out through comprehensive functional lab testing that I’m reacting very poorly to gliadin (a component of gluten), so it has to go. GET THIS (a bit of a digression): I’m also insulin resistant, not processing carbs well at all, have H. Pylori (an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut that causes gastritis and ulcers), have a very common parasite, am severely lacking many amino acids and b-vitamins (from poor digestion), have a severely compromised immune system and more… so if you’re wondering why I’m doing this, now you know. If you’re suffering from unknown health issues I URGE you to have comprehensive lab tests done through a functional medicine facility. I found out more about what’s actually going on with my body in one month than I have in the past 4 years of searching. Anyway, kudos to all y’all who travel with dietary restrictions, keep up the hustle lol
