I'm actually feeling a lot better today, after 2 days of actually EATING. Go figure. Heh.
You definitely have a good point about the protein. I'm trying to at least eat some chicken every day - I noticed the same thing you did, that a little protein goes a long way to making me feel SO much better almost immediately. I'm kind of afraid of soy right now. I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but I've had "bad days" the day after any time I'm tried to eat something soy. (But I've been eating soy for years with no problems, so how does that make any sense? Is it in my head?)
I haven't been tested for celiac yet, but I will be. I'm kind of curious about celiac, though - if I had it, wouldn't wheat products always or almost-always bother me? I had worried that it might be that too, and when I first started the diet, other than crackers, I didn't eat anything wheat, but now that I'm eating a little more regularly again, I have no problems with it. Hmm.
Anyway, thank you for the encouragement and suggestions (and NO, you didn't sound condescending!). It's awful that so many of us have gone through a similar situation, but it makes me feel a little better to see that others have gotten over it and eat like normal human beings again. You won't have to come up here to hurt anyone, I promise. LOL!
