First of all I want to say thanks for taking the time to read this!
Second is background:
When I was younger - like grade 6 - I started having stomach trouble
It wasn't all the time or anything so I didn't think anything of it. As I got
older my love for cooking, and experimenting in the kitchen grew, as did the
level of pain in my stomach, and the frequency of the pain. So of course I did
what a lot of young people do and I chalked it up to just a stomach ache and
nothing more. Until it became too much.
Maybe 9 months ago I went to the doctor, and explained what was happening, she
said my intestines were swelling, gave me pills and sent me on my way,
and they worked amazingly, for about a month. When the pain was back with
a vengeance 😑
After many trips to the doctor and many tests we had nothing. So on the 28th of
March I went to a new doctor who decided it's best to work from the ground
up starting with a new diet.
I now can only have:
Extra lean meats
Leafy greens
Green beans
Seafood
Eggplant
Zucchini
Onion
and lemon, lime, ginger, and garlic to season
It's intense
So fist things grocery shop
day one I had chicken and leafy greens
day two I had salmon and leafy greens
day three I did some research and made some awesome chicken bites, with some
avocado which I forgot I couldn't have. Oops.
Well all I can tell you right now is I feel like crud. Theres no other way to word it,
Ive had a headache for 2 days and I'm almost always hungry with not much around current
that I can have.
I went into this diet thinking I would rock it so hard! But the more days that pass the
harder it seems. I know I have to do a proper grocery shop, meal prep, and I should be
fairly good from there, but in the mean time it is so hard I'm so hungry, and slowly getting slightly discouraged.
I have family support which is everything right now, I'm so grateful to have people
to help me when I feel deflated!
They say the first week is the hardest so heres to week two!
Thanks for reading 😊
