Yea, chicken is not gonna work for my tummy. I have felt like I was on FIRE all day and all I’ve had is chicken and veggies throughout the day. Bah… guess I’ll give some of the chicken to Mom since she needs some food. I felt MISERABLE too, until I ate an apple and yogurt this evening. That didn’t make me burn! So I think I have an idea of what I’ll eat that won’t cause such STRONG symptoms – like today. I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THAT… it was terrible! The ONLY meat that might be acceptable for me is the plain turkey patties, so I’ll see how I feel when I eat those tomorrow.

I seem to do well with: my usual protein powder, bananas, apples, plain yogurt, turkey patties, a certain protein bar, and a few veggies. And my favorite smoothie at the gym! That really makes me feel good. I *might* try plain brown rice again, like I did a while back. Not very much selection huh? Everything else makes me feel like I am ON FIRE in my abdomen and sometimes other symptoms too. I think I’ll stick to these foods and take the intestinew powder to heal my gut… and just wait to see what happens. That’s really my only hope.

I got up this morning and put away the chicken, cleaned house, and it rained-rained-rained all morning. Katie got up and played while I cleaned. Brad and I were both really tired/sleepy, so we decided to just stay home today. Of course I felt TERRIBLE with all the symptoms from today’s foods – it got so bad I just wanted it to go away!!!! Katie took a late nap and then I fed her dinner whens he got up and we headed out to Wal-Mart to pick up some stuff tonight. I feel sooooo much better after eating the apple, yogurt, and a few other things tonight. I was hoping to go for the GAPS diet, but seems I have my own specific food plan that works best for my body. Now I just want to chill out… enduring all that today really took a lot out of me.

I just want to heal my gut + thyroid, lose the weight, and live my life to the fullest! I will, I will.
