My journey to getting well

I'm feeling pretty good about avoiding nightshade family and sticking with the fish diet long term - 3 to 4 months. Yesterday I was feeling weak and a bit in a daze for awhile. this morning I'm doing better. Maybe what caused the weakness was drinking 2 glasses of pineapple juice which is high in fiber. that is probably what the trouble maker was. Dental appointment went alright. I was worried about it yesterday morning since I felt quite poorly at the time.
Skin looks good. Tongue looks good. Appearance healthy.
 
Doing quite well today though I am fasting. Energy levels are good. Stomach is good. Well, this will be a good test. Nightshade is out of my diet for good. At least I think so. the left foot feels good and strong. Weight is 173lbs. that was nice to see. If avoiding nightshade family members results in easier weight to lose, it will make it easier for me to avoid nightshade. The two previous stomach flares happened after eating potatoes. It took about 3 weeks of eating potatoes for the problem to happen. Eating tomatoes seems to cause a similar flare within one to two weeks. With fasting, if I do it often, I should find out if eating nightshade is the cause of the fasting laxative effect.
