Rona and I are on the third day of a cleanse, wherein we’re not eating dairy, wheat, or eggs. Rona is also to avoid honey and zucchini, and I’m off soy and pineapple, all for the next three weeks. Both of our allergy blood tests came back as highly sensitive to dairy and eggs, and moderately sensitive to the entire wheat family, which is the same as a high reaction to the whole category of gluteny goodness. Or something like that. It boils down to us needing to avoid a lot of stuff that we like to eat, and most things sold in restaurants.
We’re actually both already feeling better, however, with more energy—and less phlegm.
And we’re not starving by any means. Two days ago I made turkey chili in the crock pot, and Rona did up some coconut rice in the rice cooker, and I must say that’s one fine combo. I honestly didn’t miss the cheese one bit, and that’s something, coming from me. Then last night I made steak fajitas, which we had on corn tortillas with homemade salsa and homemade guacamole. Also awesome. Tonight it’s freakishly hot, so it’s cold roast chicken over spinach with grated carrots, sunflower seeds, black olives, and a nice light gluten/dairy/egg-free dressing. Breakfast is the hardest for me to figure out—no more cheesy eggs on a bagel for me—but I’ll make due for three weeks with wheatless cereal with almond milk.
