Anti-Candida/Anti-Inflammatory "Diet"......IE Lots of confusion.
This isn't my first rodeo.
Back in 2008, when I found out about my gluten intolerance, I did an elimination diet and really buckled down on what food I was eating. Let me tell you, it was CONFUSING and overwhelming. But I did it, more or less "on track" for a year, and I learned how to cook in the process. So, in a lot of ways I think it was a success. Granted , I don't think I stuck with it long enough to solve my problem (ie candida and whatever other issues I have going on that contribute to my agonizing GI problems).
SO here I am again 4 years later, after 2 years of mindless sugar intake, gluten-cheating, and coffee guzzling....with the same symptoms. Plus a few extras, like my fun eye inflammation. And what started as a steady decline (ie the fatigue, GI problems, chronic inflammation) suddenly turned into a total Carnage-Fest.
On the one hand, it feels worse knowing that I went through this before totally unsuccessful, but at the same time I'd really like to think of it as a "re-do". It's frustrating to give up food you like, and time-consuming to figure out creative ways to make things that are good for you and packed full of nutrients (this also means stalking blogs), but least this time around I maybe know what to do differently?
However, this time around I also have a lot of question marks in terms of food.
Otherwise the land of vegetables is free to me.
I feel like I need to send out a notice to people who know me saying something like....DONT ASK ME TO GO OUT TO EAT WITH YOU...
