Tonight for dinner I decided to go back to the basics, ribeye, mashed rutabaga (with a little bit of almond milk), and sauteed red chard -- all seasoned with just sea salt and granulated garlic.
It's been 10 weeks, and there have been a couple of setbacks, but overall -- even with the surgery happening right in the middle -- I still feel so much better than when I started. I definitely still have some healing to do. This week has been difficult with headaches and brain fog and achy joints. I'm not sure if it was a virus or airborne allergies, but when it rained yesterday, I started to feel a little better, so I suspect allergies at this point.
I haven't done a great job with reintroductions so far.`I haven't followed proper protocol to reintro. But I have only brought back the things I was fairly sure were safe, Although I have reacted to a couple of things, I've kept things simple enough that it was easy to track them down. As I start to move into testing the things that are more iffy, I will be more careful about introducing them. If the allergies keep up though, it's going be a while before I can get to them.
I think the most important thing I've done with my diet is completely eliminating the grains, the processed food, and the refined sugar. And while I have reintroduced a couple of grains (rice and quinoa) and I've done well with them, most of the grains I won't bring back until near the end (although I'm thinking of testing gf oatmeal). I miss corn, but I highly suspect that it's an issue, as well as tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and dairy, so all of those will be late additions.
So far I'm good with celery, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, hemp, peas, artichoke, lotus root and ginger,
I know I can tolerate small amounts of rice, quinoa, almonds, coconut aminos, balsamic, pineapple juice, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, banana, figs, beets and coffee,
I'm a no on ghee, coconut, fish sauce, peanuts, daikon, and kohlrabi,
I'm questionable on cassava/yucca and prunes,
