I remember the day that I was talking to a friend and she told me about the way that she had to start cooking because of her son's allergies. My reaction was the same reaction that I get now when people find out about the foods that I don't eat, "What DO you eat!". Which is also exactly how I felt when I started this diet, "What AM I going to eat!".
For as long as I can remember I battled with endometriosis. It is a terrible disease! It affected pretty much every area of my life and according to all the doctors I have seen, there is no cure. Well, after nine months of being on this diet I might not be cured, but it sure fells like it! I spent way too many years dealing with the pains associated with endometriosis and then 6 1/2 years dealing with the sorrow of infertility. After our second IFV treatment, with only one embryo, we were finally able to become parents. Then 13 1/2 months later we welcomed our second little miracle in to our lives.
A few months after having our second baby the pain was already returning. I talking to my doctor about my options; drugs, hormones, surgery... been there, done that, and it didn't work. There had to be another way! A few months later I couldn't bear the pain, mood swings, migraines... any more. So I turned to the internet. I found this diet and started it a couple of days later. Within weeks I noticed drastic improvements, I was totally amazed! It has now been nine months and I am completely, totally, unbelievably, pain free! I want to tell the whole world kind of pain free.
It took me a couple of weeks to figure out what to eat and how to cook. The first thing I realized is that sugar is in everything! If you are just getting started on a diet like mine, know that you can do it. Find a few good food blogs and a good health food store and you will be on your way. I love my diet and I love the way I feel. All areas of my life have been improved. I am happier, thiner, I sleep great, and my little aches and pains are gone. All around, I feel great!
