My journey to getting well

I'm feeling much better this morning. It was the B vitamin I took yesterday that undoubtably wore me down a bit. Yesterday was an OK day but could have been better if I hadn't taken that B vitamin.

This morning I'm thinking why start adding many new questional foods on the 20th. Instead I should wait, stick with the diet and grow stronger and possibly entirely well I like to think that nightshade is the answer, but garlic/onions and carrot family could be the cause of my health problems. If I grew healthier and stronger, when I test those questionable foods I'd likely notice better any negative effects. I've about talked myself into waiting and sticking with the current diet.

Left foot continues to do question well despite all the exercising/jogging I'm doing. Eating nightshade likely is the cause of those left food pains. tongue looks quite well and healthy. Skin looks good. Weight was likely around 171 to 172lbs. that was nice to see as I'm eating two meals a day now.
 
It has been a wonder, active day. I've been working away, and this time I'm not all that worn out. Lovely. It is so wonderful to not feel fatigued.

this morning at the store I bought some carrot juice. That will be my next food to test. I say as I learned the new natural multi B vitamin I plan to take has carrot in it. Taking these supplements has no doubt helped me greatly. And I believe the new natural low dose B vitamin will be of help, so long as it doesn't make me sick to my stomach naturally.

I can make a good case that carrot family is my problem. There is circumstantial evidence but overall i doubt it. More likely nightshade or onions and garlic are my trouble makers. I can think of several times where I ate a nightshade family member and became sick. Nothing comes to mind when it comes to the carrot family. But naturally it needs to be tested and I'll do that after the 20th.

Stomach doing great. Citus continues to not look to be my problem though I do experience some minor issues from citrus. Skin looks healthy. Appearance is healthy. Hair continues to look healthier. Tongue looks good and healthy. Left foot does not hurt. I did some light weight lifting and have walked abt 14 miles today.
 
Doing aliright this morning. Stomach doing well. Energy levels ok. I had some muscle cramping but figure that is due to eating to much chocolate of late. I'll stop the chocolate eating. Energy levels alright. Tongue looked good. Strength could be better but I have worked out hard of late, and did some pushups yesterday. I'll keep with avoiding grains, nightshade family, spices, and carrot family.
 
Not my best of days. I've been on the tired side. I'm going to blame the pinto beans for the tiredness. Beans are high in fiber and I was afraid they might wear me out. Fiber also makes me feel cold or colder and i felt that way today, cold.

Outide of that though I've done well. The stomach is doing well. That is most important of course. Also I took that other natural vitamin that only has 25% of a host of B vitamins. It also has carrot in it. No problems noticed. If anything it perked me up a bit.

Being as worn out as I have been today I ate 3 meals. I don't do that to often. tomorrow I might fast. I plan to also add carrot juice to my diet tomorrow.
 
This morning I drank some carrot juice. So far I'm feeling good. no stomach issues noticed. I'll likely fast today and see how that goes. I also took another one of those new natural low dose multi vitamins. It doesn't seem to bother me. It isn't like the high dose multi vitamin I was taking that sometimes left me feeling lousy. At the moment my energy levels are so so. Strenght is the same, so so. tongue looks great. Fingers crossed today turns out to be a good day.
 
I've been tired and fatigued today but I can function. It isn't much fun being fatigued but I have lots of experience dealing with. I'm not sure of the cause. It might be the new vitmain I began taking, or the carrot juice drunk, to much exercise, or my guess the beans and the high fiber from the beans is the culperate. The good news, the gut is doing great. I have been entirely well going to the bathroom.

That's the thing I keep thinking. there are any number of things that can cause me fatigue - synthetic multi vitamins, to much fiber, to much exercise, cold weather, hot weather, etc. there seems to be one main thing though that causes the severe stomach diarrhea problem. that seems to be a food allergy or food toxin. I'm guessing the nightshade family. To much fiber can cause the stomach problem but in a different way. Eating to much cheese can be a stomach upsetter also.

I'm fasting today. I only have eaten breakfast. Fingers crossed I'm not ill with the fasting laxative effect in the morning due to drinking carrot juice.
