Day 2 of gaps and my tummy isn't as upset as it usually is. I am going to move on to stage 2 just because I need more calories that the meat and veggies. Going to add egg yolk tomorrow. Give that a day and then add ghee...fun to make! Decided to pare back on supplements but keep a few going pertaining to lyme and co-infections: cats claw - no substituting olive leaf extract, japanese knotweed, artemesia. Taking a pro-biotic and also L-gluthamine Herxed last night - I think maybe from the sauna, and a nasty headache right now...going slower and easy... Wow! My brain felt so much clearer today! Factoring in the placebo effect.

I'm so glad that you are finding this diet helpful! I believe many of us have food sensitivities while we are fighting these infections. Not severe enough to really let us know about it, but enough to cause a few symptoms that we would have otherwise noticed - if we weren't already dealing with so many symptoms.

Here's hoping today is another good day for you!!

That's good to hear. Have you tried l-glutamine before this?

Krimpet - no, I haven't tried L-glutamine before this, need to pull out my Buhner books because I think he mentions it for something. Thanks Traveler for the affirmation! I think I might begin trying what they suggest for testing for food allergies. Mash up a bit of the food and then place it on your arm and see if you have a red mark the next morning. I put onions in my soup yesterday and the nausea seemed worse. I know I have GERD and onion and garlic I think you are supposed to avoid, along with chocolate and coffee. My brain continues to feel sharp... just more of a headache.

I did a complete food elimination diet for 8 weeks to find my food allergies - soy of all types, MSG and some non-organic grains (wheat and corn). I doubt that my skin would have reacted to soy, as it's mainly a gastro reaction for me - and a massive one at that. One dose of soy and I learned very quickly to avoid it!! LOL!

But, I'm glad you are finding what you are reacting to. Fortunately, as our leaky gut heals, many will no longer have at least some of the food allergies!
