Elimination Diet, Day 25 (Bananas)

Today I added in bananas, one of my favorite fruits. I ate two today to get my exposure in, but I won’t keep that up. I find it kinda impractical to eat one fruit that much, plus we just don’t have that many bananas. They were tasty, though! We went to an art festival today […]

Elimination Diet, Day 24

We went to the county fair today. It was so hard to be among the mini donuts, cheese curds, corn dogs, pizza, and frozen yogurt bar. But I brought a salad and dealt with it. I was seriously craving donuts by the end, though. That led to me looking up dessert recipes to eat when […]

Elimination Diet, Day 22 (Mushrooms)

Elimination Diet, Day 20

I made ice cream today! I have been wanting to for a long time, but eventually resigned myself to no ice cream until I could have alcohol since I didn’t want to try to find vanilla made with glycerin. Then yesterday I cleaned the fridge and organized the freezer. I threw out old food and […]

Elimination Diet, Day 19 (Beans)

Today I can start adding in beans and soy. This is a lot harder than it sounds, since most of the bean recipes I come across have nightshades. Some can be altered: substitute curry powder with other Indian spices, sub potatoes with sweet potatoes, etc. However, a lot of them are tomato sauce based. I […]

Elimination Diet, Day 18

Yesterday was my grandparents’ 65th wedding anniversary, so a big congrats to them! We had a party for them today. There was fried chicken, chips, my aunt’s Special K bars, and some veggies. I picked the skin off a chicken breast and ate that, but it was still super against my diet. My elbows got […]
