Current Diet for Weird Body

Well since my body has multiple issues a weird diet is put into play. I'm gluten intolerant*, have Fibromylgia, Hypothyroidism, and POTS. All of which affect the stomach and digestive system. 

The Fibro, Thyroid, and POTS generally slows down the process of digesting.....while the gluten intolerance causes pain when I eat gluten substances or things that cross with it. 


Foods I Avoid: 
Red Meats
Tough/gassy vegetables and corn 
Fruits with skins that can't be removed
Peanuts
Gluten --- limitations
Dairy  ---limitations
Eggs 


So what does that leave me? A lot actually. I do eat gluten free pasta, bread products, baked goods, candy, and dressing/sauces. I love tomatoes, carrots, green beans, potatoes, rice ......chicken and turkey....even pork. I love pears, berries, lactose free diary products. It's really all about discovering new foods and new ways of eating them.



*Gluten Intolerant: Isn't like Celiac's Disease. I'm intolerant. I can handle small amounts of gluten, once I get to a certain point, then I have reactions to the gluten. Which happens pretty quickly right now because I'm not healed yet from my last gluten-phase. It's just like being lactose intolerant.....too much dairy = angry tummy and lots of bathroom trips
