Elimination Diet Day 7
Fairly lack-luster about the whole thing. Kind of makes me realize how focused I am on food all the time.
I feel I head toward carbs in times of stress or ennui.

- Leftover bison with simple salad
- Stir fry veggies with leftover rice
- Applesauce (tiny container)
- Rice cakes with coconut oil and a fruit smoothie (nothing BUT carbs!)
Around 3pm I was feeling deprived and bored (I'd just done 6 hours of inventory for my websites). I was in no mood for cooking so I reverted to simple (which often equates to carbs).
Spread some coconut oil onto rice crackers and sprinkled with garlic powder and onion powder then popped them into the toaster oven for a minute or two.
While those were warming I threw some frozen fruit (unsweetened, of course) into my nutribullet (strawberry, mango, and cherries, for the record) along with some coconut water.
Then I sat down with my decadent meal and watched an episode of The Great British Baking Show. Sigh...
Since it's been a week now and I'm not sure I feel any difference, I start to wonder (which in my world is soul-crushing worry, really) about the "what if's".
Like, what if a food I'm intolerant of doesn't show symptoms within 72 hours? What if it has to build up in the system before it has an effect? Or what if it's about a cumulative effect so it matters HOW much I eat? I'll never be able to find the culprits.
What if there aren't any more food intolerances to be found? What if this is just life at 57?
What if the thing(s) I'm intolerant of are so hidden and/or prevalent I'll never be able to identify and/or isolate them?
Maybe I'm just cranky because I'm not exercising or drinking enough water. Ha!
