So, there's been a turn of events.
My previous diet was not working out too well for me. So we're trying something new.
My sister and I were talking about what I can and can't eat. I listed off the usual I'm-in-a-flareup diet: No meat, dairy, eggs, grains, cruciferous vegetables, and raw vegetables. She asked why I can't eat cruciferous vegetables. I told her they have sulfur as do all the other foods.
"So what other foods have sulfur?" she asks as she pulls out her phone. I thought "That's a good question. Surprisingly obvious question. Why didn't I think of that?"
We find a couple charts and there's all these connections like
melons are low in sulfur
chicken liver is low in sulfur
fatty foods are low in sulfur
peppers are high in sulfur
soy is high in sulfur
So that was interesting. I think a low sulfur diet might be the thing. This feel weird to put into writing because I've had this thought about multiple diets.
Anywho, this is what I'm noticing:
I've been eating vegan tapioca pudding, roasted yam, baked apple, and coconut water. All those feel good. Also I've been drinking store-bought almond milk (unsweetened choc/vannila) with maple syrup. That feels okay.
I've eaten fresh apples, fresh apricots, and a peach. That didn't feel good. Peanut butter does not feel good.
I'm being careful to not eat too much pate or almonds/almond butter.
I think I'm gonna try the elimination diet, maybe.
I ate chicken, rice and white yams last night. I ate a moderate amount and it felt okay. No need to use the loo.
I think proportion is a large part of this balance.
I want to be watchful of meat, eggs, nuts, and grains. Because those are awesome and I do need them. Just in small amounts. Erm, beans? chocolate?
I don't need cruciferous vegetables or dairy.
I need to find recipes that contain a low amount of sulfur. Apparently vegetables/fruit that are cooked have less sulfur.
Really, it's just... it's playing it by ear.
I'm still bleeding but I'm only going to the loo 0 - 2 times a day. Sometimes the stool is formed-ish. Bowel movements are not so urgent.
My body feels really great right now :)
