I am sitting here tonight mentally patting myself on the back because I have made it through 24 hours of a clear liquid diet.
Yes, a CLEAR liquid diet. Water, sprite, Gatorade, jello, and chicken broth. If you see me in the next few days, please don’t talk about food, k?
I may have mentioned a few times in the past two years how I thought I was lactose intolerant, or I couldn’t handle sugars… I’m to lazy to look up my last posts. But I finally got sick of feeling, well, sick! So I cut out the sugar and I was STILL feeling bad! I happened to be seeing my doctor the other day and asked her about a cleanse diet where I could fast and then slowly reintroduce foods back into my body. She told me about just drinking/eating clear liquids, similar to what they do for before/after surgery. She said I should do it for 5 days, and then she looked at me, at both of my kids sitting at my feet (where I had bribed them with fruit snacks to be quiet) and said, why don’t you try for 3 days instead?
After that point, I can eat veggies for a week. Then after that, I can introduce chicken, fish, and rice. Another week after that goes… I forget what, fruits, I think. Grains last. Bleah.
She also said I should see a food allergist which I do need to make an appointment. It would probably be less troubling to just find out what I am allergic to first but I was really tired of feeling sick. I just wanted to get on with it.
So here I am. It actually hasn’t been that bad. I started to feel sick (a cold sick, sniffles, etc) last night though so maybe that helps? Feeling sick and not wanting to eat? Who knows.
The loosing weight benefit should be rad though. Hopefully. Hopefully I can stick it out and not ruin it. I’m just waiting for my body to go back to normal, and hopefully it will do that too.

Hey Kristi! I was being nosy and reading about you guys and when I got to this I thought I have to tell you my story… I don’t know if you remember when I worked at AA and was ALWAYS sick or not, the billions of days missed and the episodes where I would lay there and convolse…. but even after I quit I was still soooo sick. I was gaining weight by the POUNDS! And that was with hitting an arobics class 2 hrs a day! Well after 10 years of feeling like this I changed yet again my doctors and found a doctor who talked about celiac sprue disease… after TONS of tests and endless doc appointments I found out I had it.. its a allergy to gluten (wheat, rye, barly, oats..ect) I have now been gluten free for 7 months and have not been sick once!! And since april when I found out I’m also down almost 70 pounds. (I saw that picture of you though and you look Great!) So to make a LONG email short 🙂 you may want to look into or ask your doctor about this disease, it will make your limitation of food that your eating alittle better and you might get some “new” answers to why you feel sick when you eat certain foods.. miss you guys tell justin hey… dani
