I've been really, really scared of eating any sort of new foods. I usually eat the same things for breakfast and lunch everyday. I told myself I need to try and expand my diet...so I've been adding more foods. Unfortunately, this has been the most painful week of my life! And the BMs are all screwed up......incomplete, painful BMs all day. Messy and yucky.

This is what I've tried so far: sushi (with avocado and raw cucumber (unpeeled seedless...not that much), ground walnuts in my baked appplesauce bread (less than 1/4 cup in the whole loaf of 16 pieces), blueberry smoothies (with a little rice dream which contains a tiny amount of gluten which I don't usually eat, banana and mango added), Trader Joes Blue Corn Chips, dried apricots one day...the pain is still going on a week later so I doubt it's totally the apricots. I also eat GF chocolate brownies which contain chocolate chunks...but people on the boards thought the ingredients were safe...and I have been eating these for a few months now without this severe pain.

Any ideas? Is it any of the above? All of the above? Not the food at all? A combination of anything?

I was so proud about facing the fear and trying to eat more foods...and my reward is the worst pain ever. I'm more afraid than ever to experiment or continue to eat any of these foods.

Is it all in my head...or the food? Or the ginger tea?

Please help, guys! What should I do with my diet? Sidenote (I've also tried to reduce my triphala a bit too...so is that could be something to consider as well).
