Ya ya... I know... I shouldn't... But I did...

Posted August 4, 2008

Sometimes life gets the better of us... Or maybe I should say - sometimes I am just a little stupid (or a lot).

For the last three days I have been back in no movement land... Three days ago, I decided to just go for it by eating lunch at a Chinese restaurant, and oh boy did I eat many many things I …

Finding my Weight

Posted July 25, 2008

Diet management by tracking and eating more. I have been trying to gain weight for the last few years, but without much luck. Part of the reason, I suspect has to do with this condition and also partially to do with me never really tracking my diet.

Recently, I have been tracking my diet pretty clos…

Probiotics are my "new" best friends...

Posted July 14, 2008

A few weeks back I wrote about having some trouble with digestion, weird stomach sounds and other general discomfort in my tummy after recovering from food poisoning.

I started taking a few vitamin supplements that were supposed to help with digestion, and they worked right after the meal but didn't …

Making it all come together...

Posted July 3, 2008

This whole intolerance thing is really a pain sometimes. You get an extra burden... Something stuck in the back of your mind always bothering you.

"Will this food make me sick?" ... "Can I trust the label?" ... "Should I risk it?" ...

The people around us tell us to just try it, it won't kill you, a l…

More Diet Management Sites!

Posted July 1, 2008

A few weeks back I passed on some info on a diet tracking site called "www.foodfacts.com". Since then I have been experimenting with it and a few other sites and wanted to share the goods:

1) www.dietsite.com seems to be best for me. It is pretty simple and easy to deal with. It is also fast and full…

"Wheat Free" does NOT mean "Gluten Free"

Posted July 1, 2008

Recovering from food poisoning this time around has been a different experience. When I was younger, I used to jump back pretty fast from being down with a little bacteria, but now it seems to take much longer. And I seem to be extra sensitive to gluten right after recovering. (It makes sense... Glu…

Just assume you can't eat it... Because you really can't eat it...

Posted June 8, 2008

Today I went from feeling pretty alright to feeling like total shit. After I finished biking around a small island just off the coast of Singapore called Ubin, my friends and I were pretty famished, so we settled down for a nice seafood mid-day lunch.

I was pretty damn hungry and craving some fried …

Stew of course! and as I have named it, the best stew you can cook - the so called ES-o-G - the Everything Stew-o-Goodness (and almost never fail with - unless you go in the other ro…

Breakfast is .... HUNGRY...

Posted June 1, 2008

Mornings require some preparation. Lunch and dinner, I still have time to work it out and buy any missing ingredients. But breakfast is different. I am damn hungry and need to eat before I start eating the table (or my girlfriend).

I have some milled rice hot-cereal which tastes like chalk (NOTE: du…

When all else fails - just add salt!

Posted May 31, 2008

I am Gluten Intolerant, which means I can't eat anything containing Wheat, Barley or Rye. I also seem to be lactose-intolerant which means I also can't take any Dairy. This has made living in Singapore (for that matter anywhere) somewhat complicated.

Most meals I will cook at home, but it is a trip …
