Beginning of pure Healing for my IBD

As most of you know If you look at my previous posts I know how to heal my IBD what set me back was taking pharmaceutical drugs and then taking a probiotic that had dairy in it...etc. etc.. if you would like to learn more look at my previous posts but now I will be discussing whatever I feel like during the next two weeks as I re-heal my intestines with this absolutely no fiber, low residue diet, low FODMAP, anti-inflammatory, paleo-inspired diet I have composed.

(started 0 gram fiber diet on Aug 16th-- about 3 weeks ago but with too much cheating)

So today has been my fully liquid absolutely nothing difficult to digest beginning of the diet--no cheating! I cheated a couple of times these past weeks with cashew butter which has 1 gram of fiber but I realized my body is not ready for it yet....(good sign shows healing)

Also this portion of the diet will not include any whole meat but the liquid portion of the meat that I cook in the slow cooker--I didn't realize but the connective tissue in a burger (no bun just meat) was really difficult to digest...since later on it felt like my intestines were being pulled out of my body... it was more formed which is another sign of healing but it hurt so bad that it showed that  I am ready to move on to the liquid stage.

Today I should have brought more soup with me when I was out... but at least I had some available since I was thinking I would be fine without much but now I look back and I am so glad I cooked up that burger meat in the small slow cooker with the kale and bone broth that I had made before hand- It was delish and helped me feel better since I ate too many sour gummy beans... I guess I just have been feeling deprived lately but now I know I feel way better if I get some real food in me... at least the gummies didn't make my intestines hurt I made sure they didn't contain grape juice or some juice thats difficult to digest (FODMAP friendly). Whats weird though is that after eating them I felt more hungry which is another sign that my body just needed more nutrients... bleh but I was too far away from home this time... not smart. :/

Today I went to the Talbert park and did some hula hooping in my secret spot, finished up the 4 folded way book based on shaminsim which was really great, then I hung out with Rachael at Westminster mall and bought two color hair extensions! so excited! now I dont have to make the commitment to add a burst of color ;)

I'm so thankful that my body is ready for the exclusive liquid portion of the diet! It took a bit longer but probably since I cheated too much with cashew butter... but yea I am ready now!

Side note-->I really want to try making these sour gummies!

If I make the blueberry one I would have to strain the blueberries so I dont get the fiber...I think I'll try the lemon lime one --both are FODMAP friendly ;)

IBD Health Update!

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to update everyone on whats been going on as for health and life.

Well as you know I had started working at Sprouts last time I was on here which was an experience I always wanted but now I am done being a Vitamin clerk... It was not the greatest experience...I thought there would have been a lot more "foot traffic" than there actually was: Hours of nothing to do... literally I felt like my brain was melting... I was also not completely healed before working there... --You can read about that on the post titled "FMT Results and looking at the future ahead"

My Mind, Body, and Spirit were slowly dwindling away and my health got worst...

Mind- The job had so many hours of nothing to do......I would try to go read the health books but I felt as if I was not suppose to at the same time even though it would assist me to help the customers better.

I discovered- I NEED MENTAL STIMULATION!

Body- While working there I re-discovered an occurrence that happens with physics and that is... It requires more energy to stand than walking.. so I didn't realize while working there how much it would put a strain on my body working there since most of the time there nothing to do. You either stand or walk slowly... then stand with a customer, stand to put products away, etc... This was more difficult on my body than working at the chiros, target, and all my other jobs that required me to move fast..

Spirit- Even though my spirit has been building slowly living with the other two Yogi roomates. I felt like my spirit was slowly being diminished working there for many factors: not enough people to help, body pain, and one of the big ones is that a lot of people working there seemed like they were not happy and with this they connected on that level which I found really weird... Why connect on such a negative note? Dont you see how you are contributing to society? How you are helping?

If you dont like your job; make a change.
Dont connect on negativity; we dont need that it in this world...

So with this combination; my intestines started to get worse to the point that I had to take embarrassing measures so that they would work... :( I wont mention here (yes that means it pretty embarrassing if I can't mention it here...)  I felt like I was back to square one... ugh.. so I had to quit so I could get my health back into check.

Yes I have no job at this moment, but I'm going to be working on my health again... at least I know what I need to do but it has been so much harder the second time around... probably because I didn't think I would ever have to do it again... :S Its been about 2-3 weeks on pretty much no fiber but I have been messing up just to see what my limits are and I guess I just have to do the full on program again that I did last time since what I've been doing is not completely helping gah....

I think Ill be writing in my blog more often to help keep me motivated and If any of you would like to cheer me on! It would be great :)
