I May Have Spoke Too Soon

[DJ]

I posted my progress under success stories. Things are going well as long as I'm very strict with my diet. I posted that I can eat small white beans and now I'm not a sure. I've eaten small quantities about five times in the past couple of months and I did quite well until this last time. My guts churned and I had all day distress this time. The rest of my diet was simple so I'm suspecting the small white beans. I can't eat soybeans or other legumes so it's not surprising. Oh well, worse things could happen.

Same type of thing happens to me, DJ. I will eat chicken or some other food on my "do not eat" list and feel fine as long as I only eat it once in a very great while. Ice cream twice a year, GF pizza once a year, chocolate cheese cake probably never again. My diet is very strict but sometimes you just NEED that taste of a formerly favorite food.

Hi DJ,

I'm sorry to see that it didn't work, but that's bound to happen sometimes as we try to add foods back into our diet. Sometimes we win; sometimes we loose. C'est la vie.

Hi, Sheila. I know what you mean by needing to eat normal food. When we were in Disney I ate gf breaded chicken tenderloins. I never ate them prior to my diagnosis but they were the best thing ever at Disney. I was eating what everyone else was eating. I was on the top of the world.

There will always be 'learnings' in MC world....
And our curious minds sometimes need to do that little test, and the outcome to know where things are at (Yep MC is still in my body!!)

Hope you have recovered ok.

I guess I'm eliminating white beans too. Along the same line of thinking, I'd like to try oats but I'm scared to death. It seems that oats have something similar to gluten and gluten is my enemy, even in trace amounts.
