My success story these days is that I'm able to eat again!
I have a digestive disorder that was caused by years on medication for depression and anxiety. I went on a juice fast for the last 2 weeks, I'd tried an elimination diet for 3 weeks previous, but was still getting pain, so I figured the juice fast would detox my body and give my digestion a rest too. Over the last few weeks I've been slowly reintroducing one food at a time. I had one piece of whole grain bread last Sunday...no problems, so on Wednesday I tried 2 pieces...no no. At least I know I can only handle one piece of bread daily. It's a slow process because I can only reintroduce one thing at a time and then I have to wait a few days...so this will go on for a good half year so that I can reintroduce all the foods I want to eat.
My "nice" list of food is now getting longer than my "naughty" list! Thank goodness I can drink coffee again...that was rough! I've only reintroduced 6 foods back so far and it's all going well. Saturday can't come soon enough because I can't wait to eat oatmeal again (fingers crossed)!
I decided on this extreme method because by July, everything I was eating was causing me pain...doctors...well, doctors didn't help. I've seen 3 different docs over the last 2 years, including a gastro...I feel like some doctors have given up. But I haven't!
