Just need to get it sorted once and for all. I'm hoping it will mean a bit more energy and little less weight. xxnaturewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612495206869016620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152978804615603937.post-86076035509648358032009-03-29T19:03:00.000+11:002009-03-29T19:03:00.000+11:00Good luck with the elmination diet NW, I did it ye...Good luck with the elmination diet NW, I did it years ago after I did the usual blood testing and skin-prick testing to work out my topical allergies. Best thing I ever did! Not only did it get everything out of my system (which was wonderful) it opened my eyes to the myriad of things I am intolerant of (many, many things). Luckily, intolerances are cumulative (as opposed to allergies), so once they are out of my system I can tell when I am reaching my 'threshold' and eliminate them completely for a week or two. You'll feel like a new person!<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JulieMinni Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152978804615603937.post-65187400409057385012009-03-29T11:56:00.000+11:002009-03-29T11:56:00.000+11:00Hi CherylMy diet is actually pretty good (compared...Hi Cheryl<BR/><BR/>My diet is actually pretty good (compared to lots of people), but unfortunately my gut took a battering from long periods of heavy antibiotics when I was doing the chemo and stem cell transplant. It's never properly recovered and although I've been limiting obvious problem foods like wheat and dairy for quite a while now, it's still not sorted.<BR/><BR/>It's now day 6 of the elimination diet and I have to say that the bloating is decreasing each day. I'll have about another 10 days to go on this, then start introducing foods again to find out just what is causing all this fuss.<BR/><BR/>As for simple, that's what I'm aiming for. And I will get there . . . xxnaturewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612495206869016620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152978804615603937.post-4878335380872240642009-03-29T11:51:00.000+11:002009-03-29T11:51:00.000+11:00Hi RiverI'd have to agree with you - it does work ...Hi River<BR/><BR/>I'd have to agree with you - it does work in all areas of life. I used to think I was pretty good at this, but from time to time I have to admit feeling like I want "more". What I would do with it, I do not know, as my life is pretty full already . . .<BR/><BR/>One thing that the fires have taught me is that nothing is permanent; it can be taken away from at a minute's notice. So all those people who thought they had themselves set up are now finding they have to rebuild.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we all have to get over our attachment to things and simply enjoy what is. Is this one of the lessons we as a society have to learn from the GFC? Possibly.<BR/><BR/>I do know that practising gratitude and appreciation help. xxnaturewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612495206869016620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152978804615603937.post-20829473594028611482009-03-29T03:56:00.000+11:002009-03-29T03:56:00.000+11:00Hi Naturewitch....great post....and I do hope you ...Hi Naturewitch....great post....and I do hope you find out what foods disagree with you...<BR/><BR/>Whilst I love food I keep my diet simple.....for me it works....and for my age I feel well. I also eat healthily to keep my depression in check and I find, for me, that helps a great deal.....<BR/><BR/>Glad you are enjoying the simple approach......perhaps it will be a way of life now??Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152978804615603937.post-12171421108297514782009-03-28T19:08:00.000+11:002009-03-28T19:08:00.000+11:00"By appreciating what you have, you lose the desir..."By appreciating what you have, you lose the desire for what you don't have."
