I received the two books I was really hoping to get for Christmas. They are all about getting myself organized. I need it so badly. My brain gets cluttered from so much going on in our day-to-day lives. If I can get some of the clutter out of my head and onto some paper, I hope to be more productive and efficient...or at least feel like I am.
My little guy and I saw a nutritionist for the first time. Food restrictions never seem like a big deal until I realize how many foods I eat have that food as an ingredient. It was an interesting appointment. We had some of the same foods and some very different ones that tested as problematic for us. I tested poorly with olives (aka olive oil) and vinegars. He tested poorly for white rice and most other grains as well as honey. We both tested poorly for tomatoes, blueberries, cane sugar, and bananas. I tested fine for milk proteins, but not milk sugars. He tested poorly for all dairy.
He tested for an overgrowth of bad bacteria in his gut. I tested super low for progesterone with weakness in my liver and adrenals. Yay me. So we both have some new supplements to support our body's needs.
Thankfully, we can both still eat potatoes. There is an avocado oil chip we can still enjoy, but everyone has to hide the ketchup bottle from him, and I won't be buying bananas any time soon. A big bummer. We both love bananas. I was able to make a grocery list for this week of approved suppers, but I need to do some more research again to find recipes that will accommodate our new adjustments.
I'm looking forward to feeling better and healing my body, but the process will not be fun. Thankfully I have this week to work on things before our Christmas break is over. I'm going to do my best to make the most of it!
