    My journey to getting well

    Today is the last day of taking antibiotics. Thank god. I'm thinking the antibiotics caused my mini stomach flare yesterday. It has me feeling weak this morning. I have a tongue sore also, though it clearly appears to be healing. The sore and stomach problem was caused either by the dairy...

    My journey to getting well

    The day has been strange in ways. I've been sick to the stomach. I'm going to blame that on the antibiotics I've been taking. I have only 3 more pills to take and I'm not entirely sure if I'll take them for fear of making the stomach worse. I'll likely take them though. Best to tame the...

    My journey to getting well

    Just looking at teh ingredients of the dairy free cheese bought from the store, it has vitamin B12 and beta carotene added to it. I clearly have a tongue sore that formed soon after eating this dairy free cheese. I'm naturally wondering if those synthetic vitamins are respnsible for the tongue...

    My journey to getting well

    Mixed bag this morning. I do have some small tongue sores. I'm not all that worried about them but I do need to watch them. I'm also slightly unsteady. I've been unsteady for a few days now. I've noticed in the past that all to often the tongue sores and unsteady feeling go together. On...

    I have lots of energy this evening. It is so wonderful. I feel good. Kind of interesting in that the previous two days my energy levels were hurting. These two days had me eating the newer dairy free cheese bought at the store. It is similar to the original dairy free cheese I ordered...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm feeling quite bloated this morning. I'm thinking it is either the antibiotics causing that or the regular eating or 2 meals and a snack that is the cause. Eating more food might be helping me with improving energy levels but eating less will likely help with the stomach pain. Regardless...

    My journey to getting well

    The good energy remained today. I might have been a bit more energetic yesterday but I'm doing well. If I get good energy levels I have my answer I feel. The gut was upset today but nothing major and nothing that I didn't entirely expect. Wish the gut was better naturally but it might never...

    My journey to getting well

    I have really good energy levels this evening. Eating my typical 2 meals a day likely is helping me out. I should continue to do that. Fasting does help with weight loss but it also causes me to have little energy I suspect, that can take days to recover from.

    Today is day 10 of eating spices, nightshade family members, and carrot family. So far no signs seen that would indicted that spices, nightshade, and carrot family members are a problem. I'll be going another ruffly 20 days before moving on to adding new foods. I'm up in the air on whether...

    My journey to getting well

    It occurred to me that i can stop recording my weight. The main reason why I started recording weight was a belief that sometimes I can quickly gain weight. I thought that weight gain could be related to my gut problem. Well, I did find some foods that cause quick weight gain and those are...

    Bad report at the dentist. I have an injected tooth. I'll be taking antibiotics for a week and then have the tooth pulled. Not much fun but glad to get that tooth removed. It is the only one giving me trouble, which it has for a few years now. So no more fasting while I take the...

    My journey to getting well

    I ate some vegan cheese/ dairy free cheese today. It has gone down well so far. Glad about that. I was a bit concerned when eating a new food naturally. The taste was good enough. Being that it is made from potato starch it did have a bit of a potato taste to it with cheese. Tongue looks...
