Bad Stomach

Lately my stomach has been acting up again.

It's not out of the usual, but there are periods of time that are worse than others, and it is quite unpleasant.

When your body starts acting up, even doctors don't always have much to do. For me, doctors seems more and more as blind men feeling their way around. They know where some of the furniture items are located in the room, but more than a little, they smash their toes against different corners.

After trying western medicine, I went to TCM. To be honest, I did not stick with it for long, but as far as I did - it didn't do much help.

Now the next step is a detoxification diet followed by food additives. Woo Hoo.

Diets are more difficult for me, as I am already on a constant one. So any more restrictions, just makes me pissed.

But my stomach might win this argument. It's still better to feel good than to eat good.

I'll wait and see.

Sugar

You don't really know how important it is in your life until you take it out of your menu.

It's a whole range of color that goes missing from your rainbow. It starts with the almost obvious coffee or regular tea in the morning, goes through cakes and cookies, and continues with jams, candies, and chocolate.

It's all unhealthy, bad for your body, and gives you short-term energy that I really miss very much!

But I shall prevail. At least until the ending of the month of this diet.

Such simple joys..

Stupid Diet

I started this really annoying diet to cleanse my stomach and digestive system.

It all started about 8 years ago when I went on a long backpacking trip to south america in which I broke my regular celiac-related diet.

Since then, I've been having all kinds of stomach problems and nothing really changed.

So.. I went to a TCM/Naturopath expert and he put me on a cow diet. The list of things I cannot eat overwhelmingly surpasses what I can eat.

First and foremost, all flour/flour related products and all sugar and deriatives are out of my diet. So are most fruits.

This begs the question: Is the suffering hard enough to comply with such cruel fate?

At first it's only for a month, after that and according to the outcome, the diet will be relaxed.

Aside from that I caught a frigging cold. I guess when shit comes, it rains!
