Need some direction advice

[Erica P-G]

I'm learning the blood tests are only important in the beginning while healing...after that it depends on how Leaky the gut happens to be after a good long healing period on safe foods.

Like I was off the charts with pineapple and now after 2 years I can have a small serve of it and I am just fine. Granted I don't eat it all the time it just isn't something I would do anyway....I would take the rice into consideration (maybe change the brand or type or rotate it if you feel it is a problem), but you won't know with absolute certainty until you A: Do the Enterolab testing and B: Give your intestines a good healing period with known safe foods. Which sound like you still have some healing to go based on newly removed items.

To much sugar and fiber plus any stress that may creep into ones life can most certainly give it enough fuel to give a flare. It's also annoying when we think we have been really good and then realize we have been letting gluten slowly build again or any protein we react to....that's when it can feel deflating, been there done that.

Try not to focus on what you can't have as much as what small group of food items do work and have worked....or which one may need to be revamped into something new and replaced. There are times we eat the same thing but perhaps it gets prepared or grown differently from somewhere else and therefore it has something we react to now....This is where being able to grow ones food can be a game changer. I don't like this aspect of how to look at diet but it is a truth we have to pay attention to.

Be kind to yourself, you'll figure it out soon...

MRT results are useful, swapping the rice for safe vegetables will help.

and stoppng the green tea / teas etc. down the track you might be able to do pure teas (pure leaves type thing no contaminates)

the first few months will be a 2 steps forward, 1 step back type of journey...
hang in there

happy healing
