In need of support

[Guest guest]

This isn't an easy e-mail for me to write, but I am in need of a

little support.

As some of you know, I have coeliac disease and I am unable to eat

anything with gluten or casein in it. This makes diet a little

tough, especially when away from home or at work. But I have

managed to adapt, and I used to eat plenty of fruit and fish/oysters

whilst at work. The problem is that the fruit caused me some

serious digestive ailments, including a very embarassing one. So I

cut out the fruit, and I got up early every day and cooked things

like chicken and cabbage/kail for breakfast and lunch. Then my boss

complained that I was not allowed to eat " smelly food " at my desk,

and this included my chicken dish and my fish/oyster snacks.

So I started packing rice biscuits, etc. that are high in carbs.

And, as expected, I became addicted to high carb foods and I started

binging. I've now gained 10lbs, and I know I have to do something

to get back on my CRON diet. I'm just not sure what to do.

I know some here make mega vegetable meals at the beginning of each

week and pack them. I doubt those smell, so that could be a

solution. But I worry about how many vitamins are lost over the

period of the week. I know veggies and fruit lose a lot of

nutrition each and every day.

Could someone give me some pointers and ideas?

Also, does anyone have any good techniques for beating the carb

addiction whilst moving to a mostly-veg diet?

Thanks,

Katrina.
