Not the same) I miss it! Although I don't miss the tummyaches!
It's testing for possible food allergies. I went to Dominican Republic in June and came back with what they thought was "traveler's diarrhea" but it didn't go away. Now we're seeing if it caused food allergies which can happen rarely from parasites.

I'm allowed water, chicken broth, rice, lean fish, lean pork, chicken breast and turkey. In 2 weeks I add something new every 3 days or so.

I definitely seem to have milk and peanut butter issues. I knew that going into this; those will be the last things I test. I was tested for celiac and it was negative.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that diet. This is really killing me. I miss fruits and vegetables so much. I can't imagine doing this long-term.

The good thing is that by the end of this I should be detoxed from sugar and hopefully will continue weight loss since this diet usually causes about 15 lbs of weight loss. I'd be happy to lose the weight I gained the last 6 months when carbs were my safe foods or I felt I deserved to eat whatever because it was just going to make me sick.'

I think tomorrow i may get some jasmine rice to have some variety. That's sad.....
