SUBJECT: This is difficult... having tummy issues

[Guest guest]

I am re-posting this, all in one message, for Christa...

I have some questions about the diet. If I have an illegal food (ok,

my ds made a crumb cake and I didn't make something comparable that I

could have and I cracked) after I've done the intro diet, do I need to

go back and do the intro again? It was a few days ago that I slipped

up.

I seem to be tolerating stage 2 and 3 foods just fine (I'm trying to

satisfy my needs along with my husband who has no desire to be on my

diet and children who don't need to be and my symptoms had already

been under control for quite awhile due to meds which I no longer have

access to because of insurance issues). I got ahold of some stage 4

foods last night (never read the stages before but I did tonight)

which were tomato and navy beans, and after I ate for several hours I

felt ill... not like flair up ill, but like I'm coming down with the

flu ill complete with the cold sweats and goosebumps (stools are fine

though)?? I was fine by morning.

I made some chicken tonight fried in almond flour and had a bit of the

same reaction but not nearly as bad as last night and gassy . I'm

sure I need to slow down a bit... but like I said it's getting hard to

satisfy everyone's food needs around here.

I'm waiting on my probiotic yogurt starter to get here... progihealth

is apparently having a lot of orders for their starter. That's one of

the things I've been missing for the last week or so (a probiotic).

What really odd is that my 2 1/2 mo old's reoccurring yeast problems

cleared up on their own last week... so I don't think we're having

candida troubles anymore. I don't think my tummy troubles are related

to that.
