I feel heavier. The amount of wheat and bread that I have consumed is quite a lot when you haven't eaten anything like it for nearly 3 weeks. It felt a bit like a brick in my stomach at first, and made me feel lazy/less energetic. The next day it was gone though and I have had no other symptoms and there was no weight gain. I think I'm used to it again now, but I think I will probably consume less post Elimination Diet than I did before. My weight is still going down gradually, so the heaviness is just a feeling and not actually physical.

I have decided that I am going to suspend the diet for Christmas day. You can actually do this when you get beyond stage 2. What I will have to do though is revert back to the known safe foods on Boxing Day and not introduce any new foods until I am back to my pre Christmas weight. I am not going to go mad. I won't eat any form of processed dessert, and I will avoid wine and Christmas pudding due to grape issue. Perhaps I will make a nice fruit salad as an alternative. I think most of the main course will be fine. I can eat turkey and carrots and potatoes and parsnips and beans. I haven't tested brussel sprouts yet, or sausages or bacon, and stuffing of course has many different ingredients I didn't try either, as does gravy. Hopefully it wont be too big a deal and I wont react to anything, but if I do, so be it - I just want to enjoy a dinner with my family without being a pain in the rear!
If you are interested in buying the book it is available at Amazon, Waterstones and The Book People. It maybe be worth checking them all as prices do change. Amazon also have a Kindle Version
You deserve to enjoy your Christmas dinner. Especially with how well you've been doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks - i think I will! My sister has just told me about the yummy cake she is making though, might have to change my mind on the desert thing - will see how strong I am on the day! Enjoy your Christmas Dinner too Tiara
