Holistic Gut Nutrition : 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 ;)
