There have been moments in this past year when I wondered if I would ever reach this point, but I finally seem to have eliminated all the major problem foods from my diet. While I am not 100% reaction free, I am only dealing with very mild reactions, which is about as good as things can get for now. Here is the list of foods I can eat:
Beef
Chicken
Eggs
Butternut squash
Acorn squash
Sweet potatoes
Potatoes
Pumpkin
Beef
Chicken
Eggs
Butternut squash
Acorn squash
Sweet potatoes
Potatoes
Pumpkin
Broccoli
Asparagus
Green beans
Spinach
Kale
Chard
Bibb lettuce
Romaine
Carrots
Onion
Bell pepper
Apples
Pears
Peaches
Nectarines
Plums
Cherries
Watermelon
Raisins
Prunes
Dried apricots
Dried apple
Canola oil
Non-iodized salt
Herbs, spices, and blends that are only herbs and spices
Maple syrup
Honey
Unsweetened baker's chocolate
Cocoa powder
Coconut milk
Apple cider vinegar
Balsamic vinegar
White wine
Mustard (Eden's Food)
Arrowroot starch
While it is not a huge variety, there are enough options to keep my meals from being totally monotonous. Everything is pretty plain and simple, but still tasty. I have my "pumpkin pie" and chocolate pudding for afternoon snacks. I am generally not hungry between meals. My energy is good most days, and overall I feel well. I am very thankful.
My current challenge is supplements, but so far that is going pretty well, too. Tests from my annual appointment showed that I was deficient in vitamin D, and I was able to find some drops that didn't have a lot of extra ingredients. My bone scan results were not good, but that really didn't surprise me since my calcium resources are so few. Not wanting to go back on the bisphosphonate drugs, I have spent the last couple of week looking for other options. After a couple of more trials, I have a calcium supplement that so far seems to be working for me, and I decided to do a strontium supplement to help with the bone loss. Add in the probiotics, and I feel like I have these various concoctions I have to take during the day. Ah, well. Better that they are just supplements at this point and not a myriad of medications. I am thankful once again for the internet. What a tough journey this would have been without it.
