Sugar = mood swings for me. Wheat flour makes me sick (diarrhea, abdominal pain, menstrual cramps & migraines) because I'm gluten intolerant. Other gluten free flours are generally hard for me to digest and/or I'm allergic to them (allergy to corn, rice, and bean flours; indigestion/gas from potato, tapioca, millet & quinoa flours). So I don't stray much.

Only good things happen, I am doing this for over 2 years and you I was on 3 antibiotics at times and not taking any probiotics , and geneally felt much better, at this point I do have one slice of whole wheat bread in the morning, it is very difficult in the begining but gets easier as your body gets used to it

If I eat out and order something with a sauce or dressing that I am unsure of I can tell really quickly if it did have flour or sugar. My arms start itching like crazy. Then I retain water and feel puffy/bloated.

It is so difficult to eat out. It isn't hard to avoid the obvious bad stuff but there isn't much at a typical restaurant without some sugar or flour.

I rarely eat out.

I have a question for those with Bartonella and undergoing antibiotic treatment and those who are experiencing bladder issues.

I was already trying to cut down on spicy food and tomatoes and sugar while on treatment for my bladder. But, this Bartonella thing has also got me even more confused. Is wheat stuff okay to take? I'm finding it so difficult to eat bread and stuff? So, I just dont' eat bread and I see that rice = carbohydrates = sugar so I'm now having brown rice, is that okay?

What else are bad for me? Do I have to go all organic or something? Organic sugar is still a no-no? Like organic evaporated cane sugar and wheat crackers. Are Vermicelli noodles okay? I read in another post milk is not good either. . . darn, I really don't know what to eat. I've now stopped talking things with flour in them.
