Day 15, low FODMAPs diet

Wow and holy padoodle.  I think the difference in food is making a difference in the way my body acts.  I have already discovered that I cannot eat celery or carrots.  Mayo is questionable, as is either popcorn or lots of butter...it may be the butter.  I have energy, and am not exhausted.  Today, I am having a flare up from 3 days worth of stress but it is nothing compared to what my usual flare up is like...no pain, no having to go to bed to deal with the following exhaustion...not even any exhaustion!

I went and saw the nutritionist at my dr's office and she modified my list from the "IBS Free at Last!" book.  A couple of items were removed, and quite a few added in.  I am still not sure about what is and is not allowed, and continue to shop from the list figuring if it is in my home I can eat it.

And, I have to say it feels rather good to be cooking for myself.  There is no getting away WITHOUT cooking....if I don't cook, I don't really eat, simple as that.  Tonight, I made blueberry lemon supposed-to-be muffins (GF flour, blueberries, lemon rind, sour cream, sugar, egg, baking powder) and had them with my home made chocolate ice cream (frozen bananas, cocoa powder, LF milk, maple syrup) - YUM!

The bonus?  I lost about 5 lbs in two weeks.

This is working, I think.....this is working.
