For a while now I've been aware that my relationship with food isn't as good as it should be. As a younger man I could eat almost anything with (what I thought) no side effects. People were constantly jealous that I could eat cream buns and huge hamburgers and still be slim. I didn't have to exercise to burn off excess weight. In my 40's I became aware that milk and some dairy products didn't agree with my digestion at all. Severe pain accompanied the days when I had a glass of milk, or a cheese filled pizza - I was becoming aware that something wasn't right, I was tuning in to food and the effects on my body. At a similar time a friend of mine suspected he may be gluten intolerant and he decided to try gluten free products to see what happened. I wanted to do the same, but working in Central Queensland, with limited shopping options, meant that wasn't possible.
When I came back to Brisbane, and met my lovely wife, I was able with her to explore a gluten free and dairy free diet. Apart from being free of the pains associated with milk and dairy products I started to see other changes in my body - and to become aware of how other foods effected me, some in very subtle ways. My journey of 'tuning in' to food and what it did to my body had begun.
