celebrate the small steps in recovery....

Post by ldubois7 »

Hello!

I added wilted baby kale to my diet successfully! Whoo hoo!!!!

You'd be the only group of individuals that would see a reason to celebrate that accomplishment!

Now, I can eat 3 meats, pecan & sunflower seed butter, coconut and squashes (zucchini, butternut, & acorn) carrots, canned green beans (once a week only), and I wanted another green veggie so much.....so I tried the kale and 4 days later, it's agreeing with me!

Oh joy, oh joy, oh, joy!

Great Linda! And you are right, only we would celebrate kale and the ability to eat it. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I am thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn't have stumbled across my strength.

I was explaining to my husband just tonight the virtues of BABY greens. I really do digest them better and the baby spinach is as easy to digest for me as the baby kale. I know the thrill of being able to eat something without distress later! Congratulations!

Yes, we all definitely understand! Just found out I can eat cantaloupe which I love and I was so very much missing the fresh & raw things I always ate before. Can now have bananas, avocado and melons if they are ripe and soft.

To be able to add anything to our diet is a real accomplishment and reason to celebrate. Totally understand your excitement. Kale seems to be the biggest NEW thing right now.

Love, Maggie
