WhatIEat#41 SIBO diet/transitioning

I haven't posted my meals for awhile, so here is the last of my SIBO diet and when I started adding more foods back in again.

Frittata and a paleo coconut cinnamon muffin with butter. That yolk though😍

Leftover steamed mixed veggies, with avocado mayo and salmon, sprinkled with black sesame seeds for nutrition and texture. With a side of my SIBO-safe bread spread with ghee.

Salmon, gently simmered in butter, seasoned with chives and parsley, and a side of broccoli cooked in the same pan.

Crispy fried eggs, avocado, and a spoonful of almond butter.

Fried eggs, sauteed kale, my bread with ghee, sliced turkey with avo. mayo and brown mustard.

My bread, with butter, Manuka honey, cinnamon and hemp hearts.

Soup: ground turkey, kale, broth, herbs and spices, especially turmeric. Bread with ghee. Kombucha.

First sandwich in months! My bread, avo. mayo, sliced turkey, butter lettuce and radicchio. Bowl of soup.

Frittata with greens, endive, bacon, chives, sheep cheese.

Salad: butter lettuce, brussel sprouts, chicken, avo. mayo, salt&pepper.

Pad Thai. The first pad thai and carbs I had in months. We got it from a little place in town and took it to a park and shared it as a family. It was wonderful❤ I have noticed that when I eat outside I tend to tolerate foods that might give me trouble better... more relaxed perhaps? Just enjoying myself and the sunshine and good company? Probably.

Butter lettuce, tuna, avocado, a few almond crackers.

Butter lettuce, HM dressing, avocado, turkey patties, and a cinnamon muffin with ghee and honey.

Pancakes (a little dark because they had honey in them, but not burned); spread with coconut oil and drizzled with honey, sauteed spinach, fried egg, turkey patty.

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L} Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤ All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future! I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response. Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are traumas with a little 't'; on ...

What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast. Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon. Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results. So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only ...

Fear Is A Liar

Things have been a bit rough lately for me. You would think that at some point you would somehow get used to the rollercoaster ride of chronic illness, but it really doesn't get easier. Maybe you understand some things more, or learn to cope with symptoms, or give up on things ever going back to how they used to be, but the little comfort there is in the familiarity of "we've been here before" isn't enough to get you through it all. I realized that maybe one reason it doesn't get easier to go through the ups and downs is because I have not lost hope. I have not stopped living the good days to their full potential. Maybe that makes the bad days hurt a little more, but if you can't embrace the good days, I think that's a sign of moving to the next level of despair. Don't give up. As Spurgeon says, in one of my favorite devotionals, " Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you." (July 21 evening -Morning and Evening-Sp...
