For a few day

It looks like my stomach didn't handle the beans so well.  Now I am only doing miso soup for a few days to let me stomach heal and rest.  It's been a little tough because I feel like I should be eating something so my brain keeps saying you need to eat solid food even tho I am not hungry.  The miso soup is filling and it doesn't taste bad.  I find it funny I crave for foods I wouldn't even had thought twice about because I know I can't have them.  It's hard to push through the cravings.  I have to drink the miso often because I don't stay full for long.  At least my stomach isn't hurting as bad as it did yesterday!  We will see how this goes for a few days!

New Plan

It looks like I have to put the GAPS diet on hold for right now.  I'm a little sad because I really wanted this to work so I could for once and for all heal our guts.  We have now found out that my son and I can not process animal proteins so we now have to figure out how to modify the GAPS diet using vegetable broth and no meat. Now I am only eating beans, veggies and nuts.  We will eventually put my son on this diet but we don't want to change him until we get him an ABA therapist.  That way they can help us transition into these foods since right now he will only eat almond butter sandwiches on gluten free bread which still has grains in it so it is still messing his stomach up, apples and grapes.  He did eat a little bit of beans yesterday so maybe I can transition him into beans ok.  This meal plan is a little hard on the stomach, mine is pretty sore and bloated today.  My nutritionist said it takes about 2 weeks for your stomach to get used to eating beans.  We will see how this plan works!
