Lots of Trouble with Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I was on the intro diet for only one day at the beginning of the week.

I had lots of problems with the intro foods, and couldn't continue for even a

second day. Now I am very discouraged, and afraid that I can't try the diet,

because I can't do the intro diet or slow food introduction right.

I have Interstitial Cystitis (a constantly painful bladder condition), and there

are many things I cannot eat (or drink) because of this condition. I found that

the chicken soup aggravated my IC considerably. Also, the vanilla in the cheese

cake did the same. And, I already knew that cheese is a problem with my gastro

problem, which is severe C not D. So between the DCCC for breakfast and the

cheese cake, it was too much for me. I can't eat the jello or drink apple cider

because of my bladder condition. So all I am left with is plain chicken (not

soup) and eggs (and the yogurt too although, If I understand correctly that

shouldn't be eaten in large quantities right away).

So, I don't have enough to make it through a couple of days on the intro. Plus,

since foods are supposed to be introduced slowly, one at a time for a few days

per food, It will take a long time before I have enough to eat in a day (I can't

do any nut baking, due to allergy, and there are a great many fruits I can't eat

because of Interstitial Cystitis). In spite of my gastro problems I do have a

regular appetite, and if I get too hungry I get very dizzy, lightheaded and

nauseous (I have been tested for diabetes, and I don't have it).

The only alternative I can think of is to jump right into eating meals made only

made from legal ingredients that don't affect my Interstitial Cystitis, but I

know that's not how the diet is supposed to be followed. I just don't know what

to do now.
