So I went to do our weekly grocery shop at 7.30 this morning, it's lovely really, kids stay with Mark, I get some time out as well as getting to walk at the super fast speed that I like, not 3 year old speed... So, I'm shopping, I start reading labels, lots of labels, and for the most part have to put things back on the shelf... This was really disheartening... I bought loads of chocolate to make myself, but not my waistline, feel better! I eventually found gluten free everything, at 2 to 3 times the usual cost... So sad... I did buy gluten free everything for Mark to try, but there is a definite feeling that we have to change the way we eat, change our staples, change our attitudes to food... Mark is also vegetarian, and it turns out that onion is in majority of the vegetarian foods we eat... It just keeps getting better...
Next month we find out whether he is also lactose intolerant... Fingers crossed that he isn't!
Looking forward to getting a handle on it, then the only big struggle will be eating out...
My eggs on toast vs Marks eggs on gluten free toast! You pay double the price for half as much!!!

You can do it guys! I know what a relief it is to finally find out what is wrong.
Although I just suffer from Fructose Malabsorption (I think intolerance is a little more serious), and the elimination was quite difficult, the change I felt was amazing and well worth it.
Hopefully it all works out well with you guys!
You are very lucky to be in Melbourne where the leading research is based. Best of luck! x

As it turns out it is Fructose Malabsorption, rookie mistake thinking that they are the same thing... I think the intolerance is the hereditary one... So much research ahead!
Bah, doesn't matter, I thought the same too... :) Makes sense to call it intolerance. x
