fell off he wagon

My cousin came to stay with me over the weekend. I roasted a chicken on Sunday night. It came out perfect and I enjoyed some mightily. I have had C for 6 days, until today. The chicken is reminding me why I shouldn't eat it!

I LOVE chicken

Sorry you had a reaction.

Well, at least your 6 days worth of sh**t is gone! hahaha. Was it worth it?

I think it is the most delicious way of ending a C streak. Even though today I feel like I have been dragged through a keyhole backwards.

Sorry for the issues, Lesley but I was looking for something "juicier" when I read you fell off "he" wagon. LOL Deb

Lesley, I'm sorry. Am a fellow chicken lover and think there are not many things better than a perfectly roasted chicken. Mmmmmmm.

And I did roast this one perfectly. My tabletop convection oven does a great job. I can't do chicken soup and that is the WORST!

Head is weird, Deb!

Kay - Don't abandon - add in one food at a time and see what they do.

Kay, it could be the bananas. They do that to me too. I stay away! Rice can be binding also. You may want to switch to corn tortillas instead ( for a grain) or just start adding a different fruit or some veggies. Don't give up! :)

Thanks Leah and Lesley for encouragement to see this elimination diet out. Think I'll try apple sauce instead of banana and see what happens and then try switching rice out for corn tortillas or white potatoes ( recommended by Jean on elimination diet info.)

I do see some humor in the situation. Less than a week ago I was frantic because I had all the symptoms of CC. I was at wits end. Now I am complaining because my bowels seem to have taken a vacation. I couldn't help but laugh at the use of "Norman". Hope Norman visits soon. I miss him.
Thanks

Kay

Hope Norman visits soon. I miss him.

Me too! Are you keeping a food diary?

Kaysbag · Post by **Kaysbag** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 10:03 pm

Yes, I am keeping a food diary. Same entries for 4 days, now, a good thing! I have 3 banana recipes:

Whole banana, peeled

Whole banana, peeled and sliced

Sliced banana, frozen (quite a treat)

Looking for plain chicken broth. Surprised to find that the one I usually buy has vegetable stock as the second ingredient.

Kay, I know Pacific Foods is gluten free. But making your own tastes better and is pretty easy to do, plus contains more nutrients if you slow cook it and use parts with bones. You get the added plus of some nice tender chicken and can add some carrots and celery to it. Seems to work pretty well for most of us.

Kay, if you have some time to make the broth, it tastes soo much better, is cheaper and you also get some chicken in the bargain. This is a very good website (http://nourishedkitchen.com/bone-broth/ ) for bone broth of all types. It is very healing for the gut--I can personally attest to that!
