I'm going on the "Caveman diet"

[cellomusette]

My test showed positive results for 20 foods. Many of them are random foods that I don't eat very often anyway. Some of them were foods that would be totally allowable on a standard elimination diet, so it's good that I got the test done.

Really sucky ones:

Eggs
Milk
Wheat
Chicken
Pork
Yeast

Sort of annoying ones:

Oats
Cranberries
Peanuts
Quinoa
Almonds
Kidney Beans

Ones I don't care about:

Clam
Goat's milk
Oysters
Peanuts
Radishes
Scallops
Snapper
Sunflower

I'm happy that I don't have to go entirely gluten-free, and that I can still have chocolate.

Today I've eaten homemade chickpea salad, brown rice, and steamed green cabbage. Also, a cup of organic decaf with soy milk.

I have really been feeling like crap lately, and I've been eating a lot of wheat, dairy, eggs and sugar. I dread the actual detox/withdrawal symptoms I'll be having this week, but eventually I should feel better from all of this.

Would you like some help finding a good recipe for non-wheat flour for baking quick breads? I have many friends who deal with celiac who should be able to help.

Sure, that'd be helpful. As long as they're milk-free and egg-free too, it's all good. :) I can eat spelt and rye without any problems.

Wow, it's great that you now have concrete test results. It's going to be really interesting to see what you will be eating and what results you get. I'm excited for you. I think this might be really good for your mood.

But yeah, whew, this week might be rough. At least you'll know that you'll be detoxing and getting healthier!

Seriously! The test was totally worth it. I mean...almonds? Quinoa? Those are usually present in elimination diets as replacements for other things (peanuts, grains).

I'm already feeling a little bit better and a little bit worse. Headachey and tired, but that's typical for detox.
