Nitokris's Journal

I had completely forgotton about daily strength! Not that I have much time for going on here these days. I've started the advanced Diploma of graphic design so that takes up a lot of time. I barely have time for anything else most of the time. Also I discovered facebook so that gets a lot of attention in my free time!

I have one development that can be noted. Last week I went to a dietician to find out once and for all what causes my IBS, intestinal cramps. So I had to record what I ate for 3 weeks and took that to her. She looked through and discovered that Wheat might be the problem because I was eating a LOT of stuff with wheat in adn its a common intolerance. Its amazing what has wheat in it. So now i'm off wheat for 3 weeks and see how that goes. I'm at the end of the first week and so far my symptoms have been as bad as usual. So I really hope its not wheat because I love bread too much and the 'bread' if you can call it that, that i've been eating is horrible. Rice and rye, rice and chia and gluten free white bread which was the worst. But toasting them seems to give them a better taste and texture. So luckily its winter and I can have soup and toast. Or I make sushi for lunch....although I discovered that soy sauce has wheat in it!!! I was so glad to hear that the fish n chip shop up the road does gluten/wheat free batter and also Hells pizza has a gluten/wheat free base! Wonder whats in KFC batter??

At the moment were doing a brief that is about bringing rare phobias into the public eye (for the phobic trust of NZ which i've sometimes thought i'd like to be a volunteer at on their phoneline but back to the story...) so thats when I remembered about daily strength! Once i've finished my brief i'll put some pictures up.

So thats what i've been up to. Hopefully i'll be able to update on the wheat thing in a few weeks.

Ooo also I went to self hypnosis and learnt how to do that. But the best thing was that the lady who took the course said that if I went to her clinic and had NLP, she could get rid of my phobia in a day! I cant get my head around that though because how can you get rid of something you have known all your life? She said it would take a few sessions for the anxiety.

Also with my headaches, i've discovered they always seem to come around the time of the month, so have been taking magnesium tablets and have had less headaches! The self hypnosis also works for getting rid of headaches sometimes.

Anyway i'll keep you posted.
