Just a quick update

As I was sitting down I realized I could make this update go on for page after page, but, just to pick on thing. I went to the doctor today for a followup after some blood work. Everything looks great. All my numbers are in the correct areas except my fats, which are lower than they should be. Combined with my ongoing digestive troubles, and some problem with dry skin, he feels like I am not digesting fats like I should be so we are working to fix that. Pretty minor compared to the awful tummy problems I was having.

So, no wheat or dairy for me until we get all the inflammation in my digestive tract under control. Again, not a big deal since I feel so much better, though it is a bummer when it comes to eating out.

One good thing is that in the 3 or 4 months that I have not been able to eat those two food groups, I have lost nearly twenty pounds. I am almost back to what I consider my "normal" weight! Hooray!

Congrats on the weight loss... as far as side-effects go, that's a pretty good one. Still, it's a pain to have to continue such a strict regimen for a while longer. I hope the tummy issues get resolved soon so you can experiment with returning items to your menu. Especially ice cream. Ice cream misses you.

Tell Ice Cream I miss it too. In fact, have some for me. I insist.
