Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll eat you, tomorrow.....
------------------
It's been two weeks and five days and tomorrow we start our first challenge. Which means broadening our diet ever so slightly. We're starting with salycilates and I've already stocked the fridge with watermelon, rockmelon, strawberries, onions and capsicum. We can also enjoy some honey, peppermint tea and spices - Ooooh la la!
To challenge gluten, dairy, salycilates and amines, we uber-load on the foods for seven days, then take three days off. If we pass - no symptoms in this period - we can move on to the next challenge. If we fail, we stop and wait for five symptom-free days before trying something else.
I've chosen salycilates first so we can add some flavour to our meals. I also have a game plan. Dairy next, then amines - why? Because the test for amines is mostly ripe bananas and chocolate. And if we've already passed dairy, that means milk chocolate. Oh yeah.
Then we'll try glutamates - only a three-day challenge - and if we pass that we can have tomatoes.
We'll leave gluten till we've done all these, since it's the one we expect to fail. I'm hoping there are no surprises along the way.
We'll leave the additives till the end. And coffee till the very end. Sorry Daddy.
