This week! Wow... My son turned 20. My only. I feel like my job is done. Like I'm no longer relevant. Everyone tells me it will change in time and he will come back around to me. It still hurts. HOWEVER, cortisol will only inhibit my weight loss journey, so I'm trying not to dwell. (...she types as she wipes tears out of her eyes.) Diet: This week, we're introducing "safe starches." In my world, the only relevance that had was white rice and sweet potato. Took my son to his favorite Vietnamese Restaurant for dinner and I was able to eat! Yay me! No reactions. Typically, I'm not a big fan of sweet potato, but my husband cut it up into chunks and left it in the oven extra long to try to crisp it up for me. It wasn't bad! At some point I will have to try white potato, but I'm afraid I will want it all the time so I'm going to leave it for now. I'll finish out the week with these and move on to nuts next week. Then I get to try Nightshades; then dairy! (OH MY GOD, Can you BELIEVE I've gone without cheese this long???) Just so you know... when I dream of "cheating," I dream of cheese. Anyhow... Here are some of the other good things that have happened: uncontrollable flatulence has normalized, bloating seems to be under control, silent reflux isn't so silent so I'm thinking my stomach acid is normalizing.... Still only type 1 & 2 stools, but no episodes of diarrhea. ...and I don't seem to be having any issues with the thyroid meds, either. I'm seeing Doc today.
