I might have mentioned that I am going to a holistic chiropractor lately. I have been feeling better, but I am still bitter about not drinking pop. It has been six weeks and I have only faltered three times. I really miss carbonation. In the meantime, I saw they raised the price of a Polar Pop to $.69. It is too rich for my blood now.
So I went back to the chiropractor earlier this week and mentioned that my stomach was really hurting me. She did this test to see what foods I am "sensitive" to. Here was what she wants me to stop eating for three weeks. Did I mention that Thanksgiving is in this time period?
Dairy
Wheat/flour
MSG
Sugar
Splenda
Garlic
Nightshades (?)
-tomato
-potato
-peppers
-eggplant
-acai
-tobacco
Short of eggplant, acai, and tobacco, this is pretty much all I eat. Did I also mention that I am allergic to tree nuts? A lot of the things that are substitutes for dairy or wheat are nuts.
I have figured that I can eat carrots, celery, rice, meat and water. There is a whole lifestyle diet called the Paleo diet. That basically means that you eat like the cavemen did. If you want more information you can find it here. I thought that eggs were considered dairy, but not in this diet. Go figure.
I am not sure this is a lifestyle I can embrace. At least not during the week of Thanksgiving. I have been on it for two days now and I really miss Goldfish crackers and cereal. I will keep you posted.

Again sorry that I am late to reading this, Kate, but wanted to mention that a friend of mine is big into the Paleo diet, or at least she was until recently, and it helped her a lot. You can read her blog about it here:

Good luck!
