Well, it's been 7 days on the elimination diet. It's been a good week, filled with good food. Well mostly good food. Let me explain a little further. Deb has been cooking up a storm and we've had great meals with lot's of quinoa, and brown rice and veggies. There's been some good lean meats and some fish. Breakfast of gluten free pancake without eggs - and I'd put them up against any taste test. There is a least one junk food that still meets the criteria of this elimination diet though...
Utz Potato Chips. While other manufacturers may have corn starch, or use soy bean oil, Utz has a recipe of just potatoes, some salt and no peanut nor soy oil (well at least some varieties) ! So, another convenient though not truly healthy food to add for the occasional indulgence (which I did with abandon over the past few days!)
I'd like to say the symptoms have gone away, but they haven't yet. There may be some signs of minor improvement, so I'm still hopefully this is a path to healing. Time will tell.
Now to week two. Breakfast is cooking as I type. Oatmeal is in the slow cooker and will be all ready in the morning. Lunch will be some home made chicken soup with rice noodles and a burrito courtesy of "Amy's." If you haven't tried the brand you're really missing out. Many, if not most, of the brand is gluten free and meets even our criteria in some cases. The taste is fabulous as well. I don't remember what else Deb had on the menu for the week, but I can tell you she's bought a ton of food!
Peace and Blessings,
Brian
