    My journey to getting well

    This evening I'm feeling wornout, a bit out of it. I'm fasting today. First time I've felt like this in awhile. I did some leg exercising this morning and that is likely the cause of the fatigue. Hope tomorrow I feel better. Gut was a bit calmer today. I like that. Last I looked, the...

    My journey to getting well

    Doing well this morning. I still have good energy since avoiding all grains. Tongue looking better since avoiding bird meats and eggs. Weight is to high but I shouldn't complain to much about that. I'm fasting today. I like the idea of avoiding all grains and avoding animal meats were the...

    My journey to getting well

    An idea that I have not tried yet, till now, that could connection bird meats, eggs, and grains, is that grains are fed to live stock such as chickens, turkey. Corn in particular is a common food given to birds. If I have trouble with digesting grains, maybe I also have a problem with animals...

    My journey to getting well

    I was thinking abuot the tongue sores. Avoiding grains helped improve the sores/markings but hasn't gotten rid of them entirely. Today the markings look remarkably better. If the markings go away while avoiding bird meats and eggs, that would be pretty good sign that eggs, chicken, and...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm doing quite well today. Energy levels are up. I feel good overall. I'm doing an exercise experiment. To record exercise on my watch I need to move my arms around. For awhile now my warms though, left arm in particular, has become overly sore. I've noticed since avoiding eggs and...

    My journey to getting well

    I've done well today. Nothing great, but not awful either. I was a bit weak this afternoon but it didn't last long. Gut is ok. I'm a bit worried about the gut as avoiding chicken, eggs after a week has resulted in some horendous stomach flares. Very odd, but thankfully it doesn't always...

    My journey to getting well

    I slept well again last night. It was wonderful. Tongue doesn't look as wonderful as before. Originally I thought eggs and chicken caused the tongue sores. Then I began to believe it was grains. Now I'm avoiding both so it will be interesting to see if in the next couple of weeks the tongue...

    My journey to getting well

    Doing quite well today. My energy levels are good. I'm fasting today also which is ncie. This is the 4 days of fasting in the last week. That is one thing about avoiding grains, I'm able to fast and not feel worn out when I'm avoiding grains. Still up in the air mentally about chicken...

    My journey to getting well

    Finally, a good nights sleep. I slept the whole night. It is further confirmation that eating eggs, chicken and probably turkey causes me to sleep poorly. So I'm back to avoiding bird meats and eggs. Instead I've added spices to the diet and am only eating fish. this morning I'm a little on...

    My journey to getting well

    It should be obvious, but need to remind myself, chicken might not be a problem with my gut. I know eating chicken and eggs will make for a bad nights sleep. The poor sleep might simply be due to having more energy. I don't know if the gut has a problem with chicken or not. I'm more certain...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm certainly on the tired side today, since avoiding chicken and only eating fish. Feel worn down, and a bit lousy. Imagine if I sleep tonight I'll be better by tomorrow. Think tomorrow I'll add spices to the diet. No reason to not.

    My journey to getting well

    Later in the afternoon I developed a lot of energy. I feel fine. I went on a longish bike ride this afternoon, much of it going against a good breeze. Maybe that tired me out for awhile more than I thought.

    My journey to getting well

    The fasting and exercising has caught up to me today. I'm worn out, fatgued. I'm not feeling awful but I'm not as energetic. Looking forward to my two meals tomorrow. Might have to take an easy on the exercising, to get my energy levels back up. When I fast I notice tongue sores more, and I...

    My journey to getting well

    Mixed bag this morning. I slept poorly once again but my energy levels are good this morning. I am tired though from the lack of sleep. This is the 3rd day this has happened. I'm not sure what is happening but maybe having more energy I'm needing less sleep. Maybe I should exercise more and...

    My journey to getting well

    Have been doing great today, till I took a nap by accident and since then I've been in a bit of a stupor. Gut is working well enough. Appearance healthy. Tongue looks good. no marks noticed. I seem to have decent strength. Could do better there. Overall a good day, other than the hard to...

    My journey to getting well

    172lbs. I feel great this morning. Rather a pleasant experience. Normally after fasting I'm feeling run down. Fasting twice in a week and I'm dragging badly. This morning, I feel fine. Love it. I like fasting to help with weight loss but haven't cared for the run down feeling. If I have...
