Will need to redo some reintroductions?

[OrganicMom]

I'm guessing I'll need to redo some introductions.  I didn't plan well when I thought this part of the Whole30 out.  Since this week is Holy Week, I didn't want to reintroduce the two I thought would cause the most problems (didn't want interference with church services) so we did dairy and wheat last week....  putting dairy, which I HIGHLY suspected would cause me digestive issues right before wheat wasn't a good plan...since I was still recovering from dairy when we reintroduced wheat.  Nothing got any worse...so I suspect if there was anything it was next to nothing and that what I did experience wa probably just my system getting better after the dairy but..... hard to make a final determination.  I'm guessing I should give up both of those again for a few weeks and reintroduce the wheat first.

 

We did legumes yesterday.  My husband's legs got swollen....  something he did NOT expect.  It's got to be legumes because there wasn't any other changes.  Has anyone else got this sort of reaction from legumes?

 

Grains will be the last one to test on Thursday..... 

 

We will still have our regular celebratory foods on Pascha (Easter) but in much much smaller amounts and then back to PALEO!!!

I'm not sure why you'd need to reintro dairy again - sounds like you got a pretty conclusive answer to your test. 

 

It sounds like wheat was the iffy test for you, so for that reason, I'd retest that.

 

Note that the sample reintro schedule recommends two days in between reintro tests. However, if you still feel rotten on day 3, it would be prudent to postpone the next reintroduction until you feel 100%.

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention I was going to reintro just raw dairy and see if it's at least something that would be tolerable for an occasional small treat! I know a lot of people can handle raw much better....  I doubt that I can use it all the time but hoping a little if raw may be okay... we'll see.

 

Yes, it would have been ideal to postpone but then we wouldn't have been able to get through all 4 before our Pascha celebration which is important....something I overlooked - possibility of adding extra days when I picked when to start the whole30 during Lent.... oh well!  We'll just have to do the re reintro!
