Recipes March 25-31
It's almost April!! And I have good news! I've cut out lactose foods from my diet and BOY DO I FEEL GOOD! I've discussed my stomach issues here before and thought I might have some sort of fructose issue. I came to that conclusion after my stomach did flips from eating apples. I continued to have the issues, however, so I tried the gluten-free thing. Still had issues. And then...I drank a milkshake. My stomach immediately cramped up but it didn't occur to me what was going on until the next day when I had another milkshake with the exact same results. That's when I decided to cut out dairy and see how I did. For the first time in a long time I was able to go through the workday without being uncomfortable. Nice. I was telling my sister that I really don't know if I'm lactose intolerant or what, but honestly...I don't care. As long as what I'm doing (or not doing as is the case) is helping, that's all I care about. Here are this week's recipes:

Well then, what CAN I eat?!
I have a system.
Eat a snack around 10:00am (99% of the time it's a banana).
Eat another snack before working out (today it was a 100 calorie cheese nip pkg).
Work out, then eat lunch.
Today I had a turkey sandwich.
Then I ate my kiwi and started in on my grapes. At that point my stomach starts doing somersaults.
So what do I do? I go online and search for the fructose to glucose ratio in kiwis & grapes. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure enough, they're both >1. We're aiming for <1. Granted, their ratios are only 1.06 and 1.04 respectively, but apparently it's enough. Bananas are 0.84. And apples? The fruit that led me to these stupid fructose posts?? They're 2.83. Uh huh. Yeah.
Let's see, what are my options...prunes, prune juice, dates, apricots, plums, sweet potato (okay, I can handle this one), & figs. Great. Looks like I'll be venturing outside of my taste bud comfort zone.
Sorry, I'll try to be more pleasant in my next post. :o)
