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...

Epic Fail!
This picture has nothing whatsoever to do with me, but it's frickin' hilarious.
Is anyone wondering how I did cutting out sugar and carbs? Epic failure! I thought it would be simple to cut out ALL CARBS but it turns out that cutting out grains, potatoes, and other lovely things is terrifically hard. Plus I honestly don't think that your body is supposed to run very well on no carbohydrates.
Just the same, I am taking more probiotics and I definitely see the value in cutting out refined sugars, like juices and lots of chocolate, etc. I don't think I will deprive myself if I want an apple though. I wasn't just in a bad mood without any grains, I felt really run-down and depressed and all sorts of bad things.
But some other things are getting more normal, if you get my disgusting drift. :) So there's some good news too.I do wonder if I have more than a simple intolerance because what set off a week of not normal was a millet and flax bagel with TRACE amounts of wheat and gluten. So...that's interesting.
