Growing up, I thought I was fairly invincible.
This would explain the concussion at age 8, from falling off my bike. (I was trying to stand on the handle bars).
It would also explain the ski accident four years later that put me in a cast for several months.
(While you might still find me on the slopes, I’ve never again skied downhill quite so fast).
When it came to food, I thought I had an ‘iron stomach’.
I was extremely proud of the fact that I could eat pretty much anything.
Fast forward a good many years, and things have definitely changed. In fact, the older I get, the more vulnerable I seem to be.
How did that happen? Perhaps you’ve even noticed this in yourself – and your seemingly ‘sudden’ sensitivities to gluten, and other foods – which have led you to a somewhat restricted diet.
Why would the foods you’ve always loved – and have eaten all your life – no longer agree with you?
