As most of you know or have seen on Facebook, as of Monday October 11, 2010, my diet has changed DRASTICALLY. I saw the GI doctor on Monday and he has limited, yet again, what I can eat... so I am working on a plan of attack. First thing is to remember that if I do this then I will feel 1000% better - and that my friends, is a great thing!
Next, is to remember MIND OVER FOOD!! You always here people say Mind over Matter... in my case, I have to remember how BAD I felt when I ate everything I wasn't supposed to. Lastly repeat every day that I need to, so that I don't forget how bad I feel!
For those of you who are more interested... I no longer will be eating: Meat, Dairy, Soy, Gluten, Sugar (processed foods and candy)... So what is left??? That is the question of the day! According to my handy dandy list from the GI doc the following are good for me:
Cold Water Fish (Cod, Salmon, Tuna)
Eggs
Nuts
Natural Nut Butters
Veggies/Fruit (Avocado, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Garlic, Green Beans, Green Leafy Vegetables - Lettuce etc, Lemon, Limes, Mushrooms, Onion, Peppers, Tomatoes, Berries, Cantaloupe, Cheries, Kiwi, Peaches, Apples, Artichokes, Pears, Pineapple, Plums)
Oatmeal
Olives/Olive Oil
In Moderation Foods:
Rice (Brown preferably)
Lentils
Peas
Red/Sweet Potatoes
That pretty much sums it up! But hey, it is more than I though. When checking my condiments I have to check for dairy/casin/whey and also gluten/msg!
Hope this finds everyone doing well! More info and hopefully recipes to come!
So...you can't have chicken? That's strange to me. What's the beef with the chicken? I've heard of this type of restriction before...and will ask my friend if she has any specialty recipes!
