The other day I thought it would be a good idea to try eggs and see how my body liked them. I don't know why I thought this was a good idea.
The problem is that if I add eggs back in, I had better be damn well sure that I'm not eating anything else that might cause tummy troubles. I didn't do that. I just ate and ate and ate....
At the end of the day, I was left with these possibilities for my aching middle: a few pieces of pepperoni, spinach, carrots, a regular ol' mint, and, yes, eggs.
It is strange to me that someone could have an allergy/sensitivity/intolerance ;) to something that is 'healthy' for you. But strawberries are healthy! Eggs are relatively healthy! I guess I'm learning not to rule things out (like spinach) just because I think it couldn't possibly be true. Heaven forbid.
So, the next day I had not only eggs, but spinach, carrots, and 2 mints. I'm not a quick learner. I still had an upset stomach.
Today I am left with the (relative) assurance that if I do not eat eggs, spinach, or carrots, then I will feel fine. Right?!
I don't like this game. It's impossible!
The short story is that after my second kid was born, I developed some weird autoimmune problems and wicked IBS. ;) Your Human Guinea Pig is about me being shuffled from doctor to doctor in order to figure out what was going on with my body. Needless to say I started to feel like a human guinea pig, being experimented on and experimenting on myself. The experiment continues...
