F*ck it! 24th day
I did the whole elimination diet for 23 straight days. I saw positive results on my sinus/seasonal allergy issues, plus my hair is much less oily. However, this diet has not helped the reason i went to Bastyr's Clinic in the first place. Where does that put me? Frustrated!!!!!!!!
I could continue to see if certain foods made my sinuses worse, but it's so subjective w/ having allergy issues before testing each individual food. I could be patient, and do it all, waiting days in between foods and symptoms.

But why?

It's just frustrating me.
I was a little sad when i decided to give up. wishing that i knew what was going on w/ my body despite all these days of restriction.
I went to work at Pudge Bros Pizza today, i ate my first slice in a month. it wasnt that satisfying, then i ate some cookie dough, it wasnt that tasty either. its weird to give up things for so long to find yourself not really enjoying them again.
But then, after work, i went to the Blue Moon (where Tom Robbins wrote some of his novels) down the street and had a couple of "Jameson, neat." and enjoyed the warm blob that became myself.
mmmmh, ;)

I think ill eat some more dairy and wheat before cutting them out of my usual diet, b/c i think they are the main culprits to my sinus dilemma.
I think ive given up on Bastyr too, not sure. they wanna do another blood test and probably give me MORE fucking supplements. Blah, why is my inability to digest raw foods so unusual that they cant tell me whats going on.

Sigh,

Sugar train, here i come!
woot woot

Ugh, I'm so sorry it didn't work out. This is all reminding me of E's horrible stories about when he hadn't been diagnosed yet and people kept telling him to like, eat nothing but onions for three weeks at a time, or whatever.

onions for 3 weeks? ick, that doesnt sound healthy.
At least i was going through the advice of a couple of naturopaths, but im sad to see that they cant even figure out whats going on with me.
If i may ask, what was E diagnosed with? you can PM me if you want. just curious :)

And i would have kept going with this diet if i felt i was getting the desired results, but i was not.

Colitis. I don't know the details of all the weird diets, really (the onion thing was mostly pulled out of the air, but I recall tales of truly bizarre restrictions), because I met him after he'd figured out how to manage it.
