OMG you're the first person I've found on the boards who have had the vega test done! I too have had the test done and have multiple food intolerances - gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, caffeine, red meat.... my list goes on. The new diet was really tough at first, but I learn't to adjust. The hardest thing for me was sugar as I LOVE chocolate. But I've got heaps of tips and support for you, its so good to find someone else who's been there!! I'd love to hear how you go and what your naturopath had to say.
Not sure what your symptoms are but mine were C, bloating, lethargy, cloudiness and moodiness. After 2 weeks on the new diet I had regular BMs (what a godsend!), after 6 weeks I was full of energy and the bloating had gone down. It really was the best thing ever. HOWEVER, it is tough and you'll need all the support you can get (thats why we're here  ). Unfortunately I have been cheating lately and now feel crappy again, but starting tomorrow its back on the bandwagon, and back into good health!
I'd love to stay in touch and hear how you're going. I've got lots of substitute recipes and know of good GF products in Aus.
And about the overeating, your post could have been written by me!! I gorge myself at night, usually with sweet food, and its all to do with my depression and anxiety. But what I did find was that once I'd been following the diet for a couple of weeks I was feeling great (energy and good moods)and the cravings went. I can't wait to get back to that feeling because it was a real high! So I promise this diet will do you wonders!!
Take care and drop me a line anytime you're struggling.
