hi gang,

ok.. so it's been like 8 weeks on the diet.. i have been pretty vigilante with

all LEGAL items.. i did screw up in the beginning, where i didnt do it in

stages.. but i went from up to 15 bm's a day where it would be all D, blood and

water or water/blood only (sounded like i was peeing.. ).. i was really worried

at this time.. i was eating all soups that i had liquified, fresh juices..

(started cabbage juice having 2-3 a day) also stopped commercial yogurt ( i had

been watching to not have the biffidus..but completely stopped) . read the posts

here everyday.. started acidophilous and garlic pills along with my 2 mesalamine

pills with meals..3x a day... eggs with apples & strawberries for breakfast

(stopped putting bananas in there.. eating about 1 block of the friendship DCCC

a day.. so after a two weeks of this i decided i was going to try something

more solid.. so i made some almond bread, and after zucchini loaf (YUM!!) ..i

would put a teeny bit of the natural peanut butter on there.. some boiled fish

w/ sauteed spinach for dinner.. etc, etc... finally... FINALLY.. 2 days ago had

my first solid no D, no blood BM!! yesterday, just had some gas that i was WAY

happy to let loose.. (obviously this did NOT happen b4.. as i worried bout what

was behind the gas so i'de run to the toilet for that..) today, i had yet

ANOTHER SOLID BM!! .. i don't mean to be sooo graphic, but i just had to

share.. ya'll been helping me out SO much.. its been so encouraging to be part

of this group, and i feel great! i'm in the best shape of my life.. the diet

takes a little work.. i do like cooking, but i've been cooking A LOT more.. when

i'm out i eat like.. vege soup.. ( i make sure to take the potatoes out) a

turkey patty w no bun.. eggs ( i try to avoid since i eat them a lot at home..

i've been doing 3 egg whites with ONLY 1 yolk..) .. so i have some acorn squash

in the oven as i type this.. psyched! anyways.. OH!! a friend of mine introduced

me to LARABARs .. it says no additives.. the ingredients are like .. dates,

pecans, unsweetened coconut, etc.. i am waaaayy psyched since i used to snack on

cliff bars and granola.. that type of stuff.. so just for a quick somethin,

these seem totally legit.. here's their site http://www.larabar.com .. i look

forward to continue my healing journey with you all! i found coconut flour.. my

next batch of bread will be a trial run for that.. all of this from a NYC rock n

roller! .. i would have never thought this.... hahahaa
