Jan I went dairy gluten free but after on step 7 and steady. It would have been too much for me doing the steps.
But that was me. If you find yourself working harder on that than the step that is clue it is too soon. Sugar free gave me a lot less systems too. So for me doing the steps first worked than worked on trading out foods.

: I started the program about 4 months

: I thought I was over my cold this
: week, but I am still dripping and
: coughing. Very annoying. I'm
: wondering if it's time to consider
: experimenting with giving up
: gluten and/or dairy to see if that
: helps.

: I gave up gluten and dairy several
: years ago, and it really seemed to
: help with my lifelong post-nasal
: drip.

: I gradually added these food groups
: back into my diet in small
: amounts, and that did not seem to
: be a problem.

: Maybe I am eating too much whole
: wheat now? I got so excited about
: eating browns again (I used to do
: low-carb). Maybe I should stick
: with brown rice, potatoes, sweet
: potatoes, and oatmeal for a while?
: I hate to give up the wheat
: because of the convenience, but I
: also don't like this constant
: dripping. :-)

: As for dairy: I use almond milk
: instead of dairy milk, so that is
: already okay. I would dislike
: giving up my convenient cottage
: cheese.

: Does anyone have any thoughts?

: Thank you!
