my naturopath put me back on the candida diet today. this means no wheat,dairy,fermented foods,sugar,yeast,caffeine(YIKES!!) and alcohol for at least 4 weeks. i tried this before and it was really rough and i did not make it the full 6 weeks. but 4 i can do. i can pretty much live off of curry and rice so i'll be able to deal. and there still is a lot of stuff i CAN eat, though it might not seem like it. and i'll be better off in the long run. after that,we are going to work together on a new plan for me.
i'm really happy to be getting back on track.
that being said, my entire abdomen has been in excrutiating pain, off and on since last week. sarah poked and prodded today, thinking there might be a problem with appendicitis. but alas, it's merely that my entire digestive system is swollen. well, it explains why it feels like there is knife in my side. and someone is twisting said knife. again. and again. and again. this is not fun.
if it gets any worse, i may just suck it up and go to outpatients and maybe get some tests done. we'll see.
the point is: getting my body back to normal is going to take a long time. and a hell of a lot of work.
