Pork chops sauteed in coconut oil and seasoned with dill, roasted butternut squash, and broccoli rabe. I admit to a bit of a cheat with the broccoli rabe -- some lists say it's ok when it's young, just not when matured, some say none at all. As soon as I ate it, I felt a little bit of pain, so I probably will leave it out the rest of the elimination period.
I admit that I'm missing grains a lot. I think they are definitely a comfort food for me. My tummy feels hollow without them. I interpret that as being withdrawal which means it's good that I'm not eating them.
I'm also supplementing with Great Lakes Gelatin in blueberry juice. I seem to be tolerating it well. There are a lot of benefits to using this, It's good for skin, hair, nails, muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and blood cell growth. It's supposed to be especially healing for the digestive tract, and I can already see it helps with regularity. It's important to use the Great Lakes brand and not Knox or whatever else you may find at the grocery store as it is made with a different process and the grocery store brands aren't pure gelatin. I was a bit disappointed in that I had planned to make gummi candies with it to use as my treats, however, it doesn't set like jello. It thickened the juice, but it doesn't get hard. No matter, it still tastes good. Read more about the benefits of gelatin here.
I have stopped taking the Histame with my meals -- since I'm eating low histamine, I don't really worry about it. I also haven't taken any Meclizine today at all, though I have thought about it a couple of times. And instead of taking two HCL with my meals, I'm only taking one. My plan is to stop completely about halfway through if possible. I don't want the pills to mask any symptoms once I start the reintroduction phase.
