What I’m Eating

For some reason, y’all are interested in what the doctor told me to eat for acid reflux.  (The reflux is better today, by the way.)  It’s not a weight loss plan, although I am losing weight.  It is simply a collection of foods which are known to not exacerbate my problem.  For Kim, it’s not affecting the amount of milk sweet #6 is getting, yet.  It may though, and I’m okay with that.  He can have a few bottles of formula if it means my esophagus isn’t getting burned.

But you don’t really care about all that do you?  It’s all about the food.

Chicken, turkey or fish

Brown rice, oats, or quinoa

Cod, Mackerel, Tilapia, Trout or Tuna

Any except tomatoes or citrus fruit (except I can have lemon juice on other foods)

Any except soy

Any except peanut or macadamia

Any

Rice, Apple Cider, or Balsamic

Almond, Avocado, Canola, Coconut, Flax seed, Grape seed, Olive (Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed), Safflower, Sesame, Sunflower, Walnut

Blackstrap molasses, Stevia, Agave nectar, Fruit sweetener

Fruit Juice (Fresh, unsweetened), Herbal tea, Tea (green, black, white, decaffeinated), water

The hardest part for me is the no dairy, no red meat, and no condiments.  Their exclusion makes me rethink how I cook and pay close attention to how the food I eat makes me feel.  I’m not road kill today, but am not back to my usual sunny self.  On the plus side, I’ve lost 3 pounds this week, so that’s something.
