Johanne's Journal, 28 August 2014

I start reintroducing foods today. I'm starting with oats. I've really missed my toasted oatmeal! While on elimination, I reacted to bananas. I also used pumpkin pie spice on squash and woke up with hand pain for the first time in weeks. I read the ingredients and found sulfites. This was McCormicks! I then read more spice labels and found that a bunch of others had sulfites. WTH!!! So, apparently, I react to sulfites. I'll test them again later. I'm feeling pretty well after my very restricted diet for three weeks. It hasn't been as bad as expected. I just haven't been able to eat away from the house. My cravings are gone. I haven't been hungry. I've lost nearly 10 lbs. I'd say the experiment has been successful so far. Onward

In case anyone is interested, this is the elimination diet I've been following.
