Hi Sassie,
I am so glad you pointed out that I needed to concentrate on food first. I realized that I was almost putting that off.
Now I am prioritizing on food, listening to my body and trying my best to give it what it needs. Strange how disconnected we get from listening to our bodies.
I keep reminding myself that even though there are lots of pills etc. that say they do things, it is not the pill that has to do the work. It is the body that has to do the WORK. So from your post I remembered that more than anything my body needs the proper food and rest and hopefully if it gets that a lot of the other problems will be corrected.
Such as:
I am developing some muscle tone again. Before I went on Heather's program I was basically bones because I went down to 105 pounds.
Drinking the ginger and fennel tea and taking the probiotics most of the gas is gone. Huge benefit.
I am sleeping much better. I got my body adjusted to the muffins. After going for almost 1 year without being able to eat flour I can now
digest white rice flour muffins. They have made a huge difference. They give me the extra calories I need and really help me sleep.
I slice a muffin in thin slices and then slice either chicken or turkey breast. I eat the muffin and chicken at 10:30 pm. I make another set for during the night if I wake up. If I wake up,at 3:30 or 4 am, I have fiber ready on a table by my bed. I take the fibre and eat 1/2 the muffin and chicken. I go right back to sleep. If I wake up again at 5:30 or 6 am I take the fibre and muffin, and chicken again and don't have to get up until 7 or 7:30 am and most important, I have hardly any dizziness or nauseous. So far since the muffins I am rarely having the blood sugar drops. I still have to be very vigalent and make sure I eat every 2 to 2 1/2 hours but it is much better.
I am now working with the glycemic index to get more stability. I have to eat the high glycemic foods like rice, sweet potatoes,white potatoes to get the calories and energy. The high glycemic foods burn very fast (sometimes in 30 minutes), so I want to add some slower burning lower glycemic vegetables so they are burning after the high glycemic ones are done. That will help me to be able to eat a little less frequently and give more nutrition.
I plan to make some pumpkin soup today and add mostly soluble fiber vegetables and a few non soluble veggies. I will be very careful though and also puree everything. This is a big deal for me because I have been very scared of "wet" foods like soup triggering D. I know from one of my previous posts that is not true. I do know, the soup will be very good for my body and the nutrition so I want to give it to my body.
Since I can now digest white rice flour I will add some white rice noodles and drink lots of fibre.
So Sassie, you can see that your encouragement to listen to my body and feed it first has really helped me. I would not gone through the gas stage to be able to digest the different foods without your wisdom.
I truly appreciate your help.
I am also very grateful to Heather for giving us a trustworthy roadmap to restore our bodies to health.
I know this is long post but if there are other underweight people or people trying to add now foods this might help.
I hope you have wonderful day.
Cheerio
