I've obviously miscommunicated my regular eating habits, so I thought I'd clarify things before I get another post about my high-fat diet.
I have followed Heather's diet. During the worst of times, the bland diet works great. It's when I tried following the regular eating suggestions that I got into trouble. I lost so much weight that it was a danger to my health. I was leery of eating any fat becuase of all the experiences I had read about on this website. So I went overboard, cutting waaaay back on fats. A nutritionist advised that I add some fat in my diet, such as avocados and almond butter. Both of those things don't give me problems. Nor do eggs (as long as I don't eat them with fried potatoes!) I can also eat salad (loaded with plain pasta noodles and a side of french bread) without a problem, if I limit it to a couple of times a week.
Then I went overboard, thinking I could eat a regular breakfast, like I have in on occasion. I believe that t was the fried taters, possibly the buttermilk biscuit, and the greasy egg roll for dinner that did it. I've also found that in general, too many carbs are hard for me to digest.
The trick now is to increase my healthy fats to a level that's right for me. I'm also going to eliminate, for a week, foods that I'm supposedly allergic to (according to tests). Those are wheat, yeast, egg whites, milk and soy. I know, a true elimination diet would be for a month, but I'm going to experiment with a week to begin. Then I'll introduce the foods back in my diet one at a time and see how I feel. Except for dairy...I haven't eaten that in 20 years.
I also exercise regularly...swimming, hiking, dancing.
Thanks for your comments and concerns.
