I rarely drink alcohol, because it makes me feel ill. I have a
minimal amount of wheat or lactose in my diet. I eat spelt bread
sometimes and sourdough bread (rice and buckwheat) everyday to
accompany homemade veg & bean soup for lunch. I eat feta cheese
instead of cow's cheese. I have wheat free museli for breakfast
(though not gluten free), eaten with soya milk. When i'm feeling
really bad i eat quinoa porridge. I have fresh vegetable juice
everday (carrot, beetroot, spinach, cucumber, apple and celery). I
eat oily fish when i can, but not as often as i should. I eat a very
small piece of red meat (steak) when i feel the need which is very
rarely. I drink herbal tea (peppermint & nettle) and also green
tea. I eat alot of lentils, mung beans, spinach and brown rice.
I eat 2 eggs per week.

Things i have not ommitted from my diet are caffeine, sugar, some
milk and cream, potatoes and other vegetables from the nightshade
family..tomatoes, red peppers, aubergines, though i try to be mindful
of my intake of those vegetables.

I do not particularly like taking most supplements, especially the B
vitamins and fish oils, but i do try and force tiny amounts down each
day, no more than the RDA, often less. The ones i have least problems
with are A, E and iron.

I have tried going on a total exclusion diet but it was utter
misery. It means cutting out ALL sugar, even dried fruit, fresh
fruit and some vegetables, eg. carrots. Its never ending. The more
i cut out, the more sensitised i seemed to become to the foods that i
was "allowed" to eat.

I did feel marked benefits from the diet, regarding energy flow. But
i still did not feel completely well. I think for some people whose
system has been very damaged even a total exclusion diet only goes
part of the way, and needs to be combined with an environmental
exclusion zone.

Also i found that when feeling more well and entering the "normal"
world more often, with normal ppl doing normal things, my will power
regarding the diet was challenged even further, as temptation was put
in my way, eg i might be able to go to a dance class but would be
unable to join in with the trip to the pub afterwards. I was kidding
myself that i was back to normal, and the come-down was very
difficult to deal with.

My ES did not come about because of my lifestyle, but because i was
poisoned by taking an extremely toxic herb.
