Unfortunately, BFS was the second chronic health condition that falls into the category of ‘unknown’ that I had endured within 20 years. In my early 20’s I was hit with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) during the 3rd year of my Art Degree. At that time it was unheard of. Regardless of the incredulous nature of my debilitating condition, I was in bed for most of the year during my third year in college.
I identified a wheat intolerance at that time and had to fight my corner for this also. Since 20 years ago, there was no such thing as a wheat allergy, let alone a wheat intolerance. I was forced to explain how I felt when I ate wheat, at almost every meal to every new person. It was exhausting and isolating. The response was not only disbelief but it also somehow challenged THEIR cultural thinking around wheat.
Strangely, my choice to ‘not eat wheat’ or ‘sugar’ became an issue that was offensive to the majority. When your choice to stay healthy diametrically goes against the grain of popular culture, then you have to make a firm choice. Do you sell yourself out to ‘fit in’. Or, do you make yourself sick, to appease mass amnesia around what it means to be healthy?
Although times have changed, and it’s now trendy to be gluten intolerant in popular culture, the fight continues. Especially so for our children, who are locked into the mainstream school system; GP permission slips, and Sodexo, especially.
