Numero Uno

First day of the elimination diet was a success!
Breakfast:
     Bowl of Rice Krispies
     Soy milk
     1/4 cup strawberries
     Coffee with soy milk

Snack:
     Almonds
     Corn tortilla with avocado

Lunch:
    1 cup spinach
    1/4 cup broccoli
     Feta cheese
     Pepper
   
     White rice
     Butter
     Louisiana hot sauce (one of the only hot sauces without onions/garlic)
     Salt & pepper

Dinner:
     2 California rolls
     1/4 cup edemame

Dessert:
     1/2 cup Talenti Roman Raspberry sorbetto*

*cue angels singing!  This sorbet is the BEST thing I have ever tasted AND all of the ingredients are FM friendly (raspberries, water, sugar, dextrose, lemon, carob gum)

The elimination diet my dietitian gave me has a 3 fruits or veggies max each day. Fruits are 1/4 cup, cooked veggies are 1/2 cup and raw veggies are 1 cup.  I may have gone a little over my 3 servings but kept to it pretty well.  We'll see what tomorrow brings!

Here We Go!

So here's the deal: I've been diagnosed with fructose malabsorption for 8 months now.  I have made small changes hoping my case of FM wasn't too bad but I have come to the conclusion that it's worse than I'm letting myself believe.  I have cut out my beloved daily Dr. Pepper, fast food (actually no.. just McDonald's.. except for today), most onion and garlic, less pasta, I no longer eat yogurt and an apple for breakfast but alas it's not enough for my poor body.  So I am going to start the dreaded elimination diet, tomorrow of course.

I'm sharing my journey in hopes of inspiring other FMers like me who feel lost.

XOXO
