I haven’t blogged in a while. I have just had a lot on my mind. I have developed a yeast problem – more than likely it stems from the HUMIRA. I have been researching and reading like crazy, trying to figure out what’s going on (with 3 rounds of treatment from the DR). What I have realized, is that all of my problems could possibly be solved with food. Or the lack of certain foods. Is food the source of my Crohn’s Disease. Is food helping my Yeast thrive? Sure looks like there is a link.
But what am I to do? Could I go on a strict diet called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet that has proven to cure some people with Autism (not that I have Autism) and intestinal disorders? Or do I have the strength to go on the very strict Yeast Diet to kill all the yeast in my body? Should I go dairy free or try a gluten free diet? You know, no one has ever tested to see if dairy or gluten was a problem for me.
I feel very overwhelmed! To much info, and I don’t know where to begin! Right now, I am going to continue my healthy eating habits while I do some more research and sort things out. I will keep you posted.
Speaking of food, I decided to spend the entire afternoon in the kitchen, and here is what I did:
Started the afternoon out with a wheatgrass shot with ginger:
I started cleaning out the fridge and decided to juice whatever I could find. Oh my, what a mess!
This is what I found to juice:
Apple, carrot, beet, celery, parsley, and kale
Bulgur Salad:
I made some Hummus:
Then I made Kale/Beans for dinner tonight and Lentil Soup for tomorrow night:
My kitchen smelled so good! Now I don’t have to cook for the next two days!!!!
