Elimination Diet Days 2 and 3

A funny thing happened on day 2. I had a really good day! Sure, there was pain, but it wasn't nearly as bad as usual. In fact, I hurt so much less on day 2, I actually noticed my fatigue. Usually it's secondary for me. It was interesting. But it couldn't be the diet, right? I mean, not yet?

And now, here we are on day 3 and I am having another good day! That's two in a row and around here, that is unheard of. I don't know that I'm ready to declare that something I had been eating was aggravating my symptoms. At least not yet. I'm waiting to see what tomorrow brings.

So, what have I been eating? Well, day 2's breakfast consisted of a bowl of diced pears and halved cherries topped with whipped coconut milk, and lunch was lentil leftovers and a salad. Dinner was more exciting, though. For dinner I made salmon with cilantro pesto, rice pilaf, and roasted brussels sprouts with garlic.


For day 3, I made another bowl of rice porridge, again topped with pears- the last pear needed to be used quickly! For lunch I just ate the leftover salmon and some rice pilaf. But to celebrate a second whole day of feeling better, I went Indian food crazy for dinner! I made vegetable korma, saag aloo (sort of- I can't eat potatoes, of course, so I substituted sweet potatoes with outstanding results, I might add!), dhal, and rice. It was positively scrumptious. Then I made a little raspberry-peach sorbet to round it all out.



Now that I can almost cross my fingers, I'm crossing them that my good days continue!
