Food Allergies Treatment

Question by SpecialHeart<3: When are you’re best “Looking” days – When u eat some junk in the day or 100% healthy?
TOday I was absolutely feeling great and looking beautiful when I was eating my usual low carb meal plan. After I ate two chewy granola bars, my face began to bloat even though it has a low GI of 19g carb. So now Im looking terrible and face is puffy. What could be up – an allergy to wheat or what? I dont get it.

Yeah sounds like an allergy. It doesnt matter what you eat in a day, you will look the same the next day. As long as it doesn’t keep repeating.

Question by Cake: Can I have some help on working out?
I’m 13 years old and I need to start working out. (or do SOMETHING) I’m almost 14, 5’10, 135 pounds. I have muscle, but I’m so skinny you can’t see it unless I flex. I have Celiac disease – allergy to wheat, rye, barley, oats, and it DOES impact this.

Does anyone have some tips on working out? I realize that I’m still growing and all, but I’m just so wimpy looking that I need to do something. Thanks!

As far as food, I know a pretty buff kid with the same disease who mostly ate meat and eggs. You can still get plenty of protein from these things which builds muscle. Are you able to eat legumes like beans or nuts? Those are also a good substitute.

As for exercise, i say work on muscle training over cardio if you’re looking to get buff. You say you’re thin already so you don’t need to lose weight. Naturally, muscle is heavier than fat so I wouldn’t worry about you’re low weight as of yet. Just build more, which will come with a well balanced work out and proper dieting (which I’m sure you already understand). If you want to do a more active work out, which more fun for young people than sitting in gyms, I suggest taking up a sport like karate or kick boxing. Even though it’s more along the cardio liknes, the muscle will come with training and you will build character and good habits as well.

Also, genetics may have something to do with your thin muscle build. I know another guy, asian and 21, who is skinny as a bean until he flexes. It’s pretty funny when people underestimate his strength based on his size (he’s probably about 5’5″).

Finally, ask your pediatrician for any advice about working out/dieting do’s and don’ts with your condition to prevent hurting your body. Like you said, you’re still growing so you want to take care of yourself as best as possible.

Hope this helps some and good luck. =3 It’s always good to start a healthy lifestyle when you’re young.

Answer by DexterLoxley
tossed salad
salad with spinach leaves
chicken cut up and put in salad
sliced white onions in salad
baby carrots
celery sliced into finger food
cole slaw
all kinds of fruit
fish
tuna fish
make some vinegar and virgin olive oil dip

you mentioned those grains. grains do help the body to digest food better and quicker.

it didn’t list rice on my screen.
rice is an idea.
potatoes are an idea
there’s a million ideas with potatoes

also if you’re trying to cut some weight, go over to worldprayercenter.org and go in to find their prefast diet.
it’s typically used to prepare the body for a fast but it can be used as a 7 day diet that cuts 7 to 15 pounds in 1 week.

bananas are loaded with calories.
celery and cabbage take more calories to digest than what the body obtains from them.

Question by Jadoremonchat: Why don’t some vegetarians eat wheat?
I’ve been vegetarian for about two years now. Anyway, I was at work the other day and I overheard a woman tell her son that they weren’t going to eat a certain type of food because it had wheat in it. The son, who was about 6 replied, “But wheat isn’t an animal mama.”

This incident made me realize that I myself at 20 years old don’t understand why some vegetarians don’t eat products with wheat in them.

Food allergies aside, is there an ethical reason that people don’t eat wheat?

Not recipes but some suggestions.

Cooking oil: He is probably allergic to many oils derived from nuts or seeds. Rice bran oil is probably the least allergenic. Palm oil is also good and is semisolid at room temperature.

Flour substitute: Try rice flour, oat flour, or tapioca starch. Caution: baking powder is mostly corn starch, Feather Lite is the only one that uses uses potato starch.

Sea food: First make sure he is not allergic to shellfish. Brush lightly with oil and broil, bake or grill.

Veggies: Steam or stir fry.

Spices: Avoid spices unless you are sure that they are OK.

Milk substitute: Pacific Organic Oat is probably OK. Others are doubtful.

Don’t surprise him. Discuss every ingredient before you use it.
