Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I wasn't planning on doing a reintro right away, but it seems to be happening regardless so I guess I need to move my log over here. 3/14 Wake up 6:30 Meal 1 @ 7:00 Steak, sweet potato, olives, blackberries Meal 2 @ 11:30 salad w/ red leaf lettuce, 1 avocado, olives, beets, pine nuts, balsamico. Forgot to bring a protein Snack @ 3:30 coconut milk latte Pre w/o @ 4:45 venison epic bar, bison epic bar Meal 3 @ 8:30 steak, acorn squash w/ ghee, 1/2 avocado w/ cilantro Generally feeling tired and stressed. Somewhat broken out on temples and chest/back. Did not react well to latte + two epic bars pre w/o- had bad stomach upset after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahliah Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Life just loves to throw a wrench in our plans, doesn't it? Wonder what set off your upset stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I think it was the latte. I got it at Bigby and it's the first time I've bought coffee out since being on the w30. Normally I've been having coffee with just a little coconut cream in it. I also wonder if maybe their coconut milk had any additives or sugar in it? I didn't ask since technically I'm not in my 30 days any more. It really ran through me though, all night in fact. 3/14 bed at 11:00 tossed and turned all night 3/15 woke up at 7:15 Meal 1 @ 7:30 steak, avocado, sweet potato, coffee w/ cc. Stomach is still a little unhappy. My acne is a lot worse too. Expecting my period any day now so maybe it's hormones and not food causing the breakout?

Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's also a possibility that I could be reacting to the strawberries and grapes I've been eating. I've been a little suspicious of strawberries for a couple weeks now, and apparently they have cross reactivity with cherries, which I'm very allergic to. I really, really don't want this to be the case as I am already so limited in fruits- but I should probably cut them out for a while too and then try reintroducing separately.

JenHZ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 hope it was just junk in the latte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahliah Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 If you've already cut out other foods, might as well cut them out, too, and give them their own reintroduction day - see if you can figure out if they're an issue. Could very well have been the latte, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yeah, I figure I might as well. My skin is getting worse by the minute! Would love to know if it is hormonal or food related. Also starting to wonder why I am a day late now... definitely not pregnant, maybe stress. 3/15 Meal 2 @ 2:00 steak, acorn squash with lots of ghee, olives Snack @ 7:00 epic venison bar, coffee w/ cc Meal 3 @ 8:30 2 fried eggs, bacon, spinach in butter* *yes, butter. I ran out of ghee and didn't have time to make clarified butter yet. We'll see what happens, it's probably not enough for a true dairy reinto.

Guest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 3/15 bedtime I can't really remember? I was working late, maybe 11-11:30. 3/16 woke up at 6:50. Major tummy upset still, spent forever in the bathroom this morning with liquid poops. Yuck. Last remnants of that latte maybe? I don't think fruit would do this, especially fruit I used to eat on a regular basis. Either that or I caught a stomach bug. Acne is a little better today mainly because I put a ton of stuff on it yesterday and this morning. Meal 1 @ 8:30 white fish and peas cooked in ghee. Didn't want to risk adding any more fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Meal 2 @ 1:00 cup of cheddar broccoli soup, small salad w/ mozzarella and pesto, 'simply lemonade' - stomach started hurting while I was eating. Hoping it was just too much food/ too rich and not a dairy reaction. Gotta say I've missed sweet drinks, the lemonade is to die for. Kind of obsessing about weight again since I started reintros. I don't want to put any back on. Weighed myself this morning and I'd lost another pound (down to 127.4) but that may be because everything has passed through my body in the last 24 hours (sorry to be gross). Period started at lunch, finally. At least that might explain the zits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahliah Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I could be wrong, but I'm assuming that the weight loss is more related to getting your calories from fat and not sugars, so I'd think that, so long as you keep to the general meal template, even if adding in other foods, you'll be fine. ...and, as much as it sucks, it sounds like it might be the dairy. Could be, too, that your coconut milk latte at Bigby's might not have been dairy-free (or could have been like Starbucks coconut milk, where there's very little coconut, and a lot of added ingredients.)

Guest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I think you are right. I've got a migraine now and I haven't had one in weeks that wasn't pressure related. In general I feel like crap, like I have the flu. I used to feel like this all the time. No dairy for me for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cahliah Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Exactly, Jen. It sucks, but it's better to know and be able to avoid it in the future, than to go through life feeling sick and not knowing why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It makes sense for dairy to be an issue, with as much as I used to eat and as I bad as I always felt. I will try cheese again, once my gut heals. But I'll be okay if I can't have it. Snack @ 4:00 dark chocolate Post w/o @ 7:00 venison epic bar & olives Meal 3 @ 8:30 steak, acorn squash w/ ghee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 3/16 bedtime 10:00 tossed and turned a bit. Still having bad leg cramps despite adding a magnisum/potasium suppliment at night. 3/17 overslept! Got up at 8:20. Fell down the stairs, wrenched shoulder, ouch. Meal 1 @ 8:45 scrambled eggs w/ peas in ghee. Very congested and lots of 'gunk' in my chest- wonder if it's the dairy? That used to be a problem every morning and I always thought it was seasonal allergies but since it's been gone for the past couple weeks and just came back... Skin is slightly better. Feel generally not great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Meal 2 @ 12:30 acorn squash, white fish, olives, compliant ham, dark chocolate Super stressful day at work. Don't think I've mentioned but i got a new job and am in my two week notice period as the current one and it's totally crazy. Can't wait to be out of there. Another headache/ migraine and generally feeling bad all day, could be remnants of dairy or stress or combo. Nap from 4-6. meal 3 @ 8:00 Indian restaurant. Tandoor chicken, lamb sausage, garlic naan, curry dipping sauce. Got some tomatoes, a little yoghurt and of course gluten with this meal. Felt very full and uncomfortable and tired afterwards, but no GI reaction. Snack @ 9 a few bites of dark chocolate coconut ice cream, coffee w/ cc Bed @ 11:15 or so Sat wake up at 10! Not happyto be falling back into the late wake up habit Meal1 @11:30 salmon, sweet potato, lots of ghee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stomach upset before dinner, still recovering from whatever we had this weekend (think it was a bug since the girls had it too). Going to start a whole 7 tomorrow to reset then try reintro again, specifically legumes and cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bedtime was 11:30 I think.. working late so I wasn't paying attention. Wrapping up stuff at my current job is killing me. Got up at 7:30 totally forgot about food until I was in the car on the way to work. Went straight into back to back meetings until after noon. Felt terrible, lack of food, remaining bug, lack of sleep, poor eating... all of the above? I have bad diarrhea despite crunching two Pepto tablets in the car and my whole body feels awful, like the flu.
