Resources for Food Intolerances
I have recently experienced another intestinal blow-out after foolishly believing i had built up my tolerances for certain problem foods once again.
I had been going incredibly well monitoring my intake of high salicylate products and problem fructose vegetables garlic and onion. Plus ruling out dairy products completely. Originally my naturopath identified that i have an intolerance for lactose (although recently i have wondered whether this is for casein instead – the protein in dairy).
Last weekend i had the honour of attending an old school friends wedding up in Alice Springs. I became blasé about what i was eating due to the massive quantities of delicious foods. So the accumulation of rich foods over the weekend and following into the week (when i consumed some onion at a Japanese restaurant on Monday night, then partook in a delicious Roo Bolognese made by one of my housemates on Tuesday night, followed by some fish oil liquid on Wednesday morning) blew my small intestine and spleen into throbbing, painful time bombs.
It is only now, after not being able to eat anything for Thursday and part of Friday, that i have been able to stomach a bowl of porridge. Last night was incredibly exciting that i was able to consume a soft boiled egg on a piece of toast!
So i am hoping it is only up and up from this point. I will be strict over the next couple of weeks and will aim to initiate a proper elimination diet at the end of my semester (November).
The below links are a combination of information that i hope will direct me through this venture.

The Tyburn Tree
The first victim of the “Tyburn Tree” was Dr John Story, a Roman Catholic who refused to recognize Elizabeth I. Among the more notable individuals suspended from the “Tree” in the following centuries were John Bradshaw, Henry Ireton and Oliver Cromwell, who were already dead but were disinterred and hanged at Tyburn in January 1661 on the orders of Charles II in an act of posthumous revenge for their part in the beheading of his father.
Wikipedia, such a great source of interesting information.

Lillian Roth
As a part of my research, i have come across the character of Lillian Roth. A remarkable woman who stood up for what she believed in and went through a great deal to get there.
Cigarette advertisements aside, this interview is incredibly contemporary in it’s subject matter and approach. Exploring the importance of being truthful about one’s life and hardships, and the quality of her admission’s repercussions to the public.

The Songcatcher – dir. Maggie Greenwald
The wondrous nature of teaching one’s kin by traditional song is still evident today. However, the nature of narrative has changed dramatically from parable to emotional empathy.

Eugenie Falleni
“City of Shadows – Sydney Police Photographs 1912-1948” by Peter Doyle with Caleb Williams.
1920. Central cells. When hotel cleaner Harry Leon Crawford was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife three years earlier, he was revealed to be in fact Eugenie Falleni – a woman and mother who had been passing as a male since 1899. In 1914, as ‘Harry Crawford’, Falleni had married the the widow Annie Birkett who disappeared three years later, shortly after telling a relative that she had found out ‘something amazing about Harry’. Crawford told friends that his wife had run off with a plumber. In 1919 Birkett’s terrified young son, who had remained in Crawford’s custody, told an aunt that Crawford had made attempts on his life. The aunt contacted police. A charred body found in Lane Cove in 1917 was finally identified as Birkett’s and Crawford, who had by then remarried, was charged with her murder. Falleni’s astonished second wife, when finally convinced of Falleni’s gender, remarked, ‘I always wondered why he was so painfully shy…’
Photo taken on day of arrest, inscribed ‘Falleni Man/Woman’.
