Day 5 is here in my second round of CLEAN. For those just joining me on my journey, it’s designed to be a 21 day cleansing program, which removes all common allergen foods from your diet. Then, one at a time, you reintroduce a food to see how your body reacts to it. This allows you to detect any food sensitivities.
I am doing this because I have had digestive problems for about 18 months, and I want to find out what (if any) foods might be triggering a response, since often food allergies are presented as digestive problems.
Praise God, so far, the CLEAN program has been an answer! I’ve never felt better than while on the CLEAN program, and I am looking forward to finding out what might be the food(s) causing my issues. My hunch is gluten so far.
While on the CLEAN program, you eat a liquid breakfast and dinner (soup, smoothie, juice), and a regular lunch (albeit with only foods on the “okay” list of non-allergen foods). This is to allow your digestive system time to catch up, and heal.
So, here’s what I had today:
Breakfast: Mango and Cherry Smoothie
Lunch: 1/2 Lentil Chicken Quesadilla with Homemade Guacamole and Homemade Refried Beans
Snack: Apple Pie Larabar
Dinner: Tea (wasn’t really hungry)
That’s it for today!
To your success,
Dr. Laura
P.S. So far, no adverse reaction from the ice cream yesterday.
