What a great thread! When I started the diet I was super sensitive to starch and could only tolerate about 2 grams a day. So I'm sharing a day in my very strict BEGINNER'S ELIMINATION DIET
BREAKFAST: - hard boiled eggs (I cooked 12 at a time) - sliced kiwi or ripe pineapple OR - scrambled eggs with chives, peppers, and mushrooms
LUNCH: - warmed up dinner leftovers - blueberries, strawberries and raspberries (I bought frozen and then defrosted)
DINNER: - roasted chicken quarter - roasted rutabaga 'fries' - sauteed spinach - sauteed red peppers OR - bolognese sauce - spiralized or julienned zucchini noodles
DESSERTS & SNACKS - defrosted frozen fruit (often less starchy than fresh) - coconut balls made from shredded coconut, coconut oil, ground almonds, and vanilla - kale chips (made with olive oil) - dairy milk milk chocolate (only chocolate that didn't aggravate me) - coconut milk smoothies made with berries
Suspected USpA. HLA B27, xray, u/sound, blood tests all -ve. Ancient history of plantar fasciitis, SI joint pain, knee arthritis. Recent history of tendinitis, neck pain, debilitating finger pain and stiffness (especially mornings). No diagnosis, no meds.
2010 - stopped eating dairy 2012 - stopped eating wheat 2014 - stopped eating all grains Jan 2017 - discovered NSD - 98% improvement in symptoms, continually amazed by my results, wish I'd found kickAS sooner
