Day 3/4

Day three was almost entirely leftovers, so not much to report there.

Today, I had two eggs with some ham for breakfast and a banana for lunch.

While getting lunch prepared, I happened to look at some corn tortillas that Ash bought, and they’re made in places that uses wheat. So I can’t have them (if I’m going by-the-letter). So out of curiosity, I re-read the label for the Trader Joe’s marinara sauce that I had planned to use for lunch, and it is made with equipment that touches wheat AND dairy. So I guess I can’t use that, and I guess that’s my first slip-up of the experiment.

Slip ups:

Intentional – 0

Unintentional – 1

 

edit: So in trying to find a fallback lunch, I found I still had some brown rice, so I cooked that with some mixed veggies. I looked for something to add some flavor, but our sauces (soy, teriyaki) both had wheat. So I looked to add a little bit of this bean burger that we have in the freezer. Nope, that’s got wheat. Okay, I figured I’d cook up a fish patty that we have in the freezer. WHEAT in the fish!!! FFS. We may have shopped well this week, but it looks like everything we own from before today is no good for me.

I’m not having fun yet.

Hang in there! I know how hard it can be to give up foods you love and what you’re doing is harder than a lot of people realize!

If you’re ever craving cheese, I can get you some recipes for faux cheese (nut based and brewer’s yeast based) that one of my friends uses in her vegan lasagna. As a cheese lover, I gotta say it was easy to be duped it was that good!

Hopefully you’ll feel like a trillion bucks after you cleanse your system. *fingers crossed*

Try Braggs Liquid Aminos in place of soy sauce. Sounds strange, but it’s a gluten-free/dairy free option and contains healthy amino acids.

This is a random note, but if you like Twizzlers, well, they have wheat in them. Weird, I know.
