So it's been a year and a half since my first iritis attack, and my journey began. I've learned SO much in this last year about diet and autoimmune. I've tried SO many different diets. With moderate success. But I was looking for even more relief. So I kept cutting back on the things I ate. Which brings to where Im out now. I currently have NO pain. Slightly sore in the mornings, but it goes away within minutes. Ive been eating pretty much only this
Romaine lettuce
spinach
Onions
Salmon
Organic turkey breast.
Grapes
blackberries
Walnuts(soaked for 24 hours)
Apple cider viniger
Olive oil
salt
LOTS of water
That's it ladies and gentleman..lol. Now you may ask do I plan on only eating those things for the rest of my life. No, I eventually want to add more in. But I think it's important for everyone on here to find as close to 100% health as they can before adding in other foods. Whether that's 70 % or 80 %, or like myself 100 %. I see so many posts on here saying NSD not working for me. And when someone asks what they eat. They list 80 things. Things like Mayonnaise, dairy, eggs, spices, tomatoes, hot dogs, deli meat, red meat..ect. All things that could be major triggers.
What Im trying to say is that there's ALWAYS further you can go. Never give up. Theres not some miracle diet. Everyone is different. For instance somewhere along the line I developed an intolerance to chicken. That would give me the worst hip/butox pain. Now on almost every autoimmune diet plan, chicken is on the "safe list" But not for me. I could of been stubborn and blamed my pain on the nsd not working. But I kept digging. Kept trying different things. And after a year and a half I've finally found 100 % relief. I don't think its all diet either. I'm at a very good weight. Work out everyday. Stay happy and positive. People always tell me, every time they see me I have a smile on my face. I think all these factors have led to a virtually pain free life. And not only that. But because I'm eating so healthy, I've never felt better. I have so much energy, I'm never tired. I haven't got sick in over a year and a half. Not even a sniffle.
Anyway though I just want to encourage anybody out there who is struggling to keep pushing. Keep trying new things. Keep eliminating things from your diet. NEVER GIVE UP
