Eliminating the Bad Stuff!

Hello, my name is Leslee and I am a bread-a-holic, carb junkie and general lover of all things food! Lately my eczema has been flaring up a little more than normal and I am convinced that it is food related. Pre-packaged, genetically modified food. There are certain triggers that I am aware of such as tomatoes. If I eat too many my hands instantly flare up and are in pain for weeks on end. Normally it’s just my hands that are affected but for the last month or so my back, arms and legs have been flaring up. Yes, I have been watching what I have been eating but really it is nothing out of the ordinary so I have decided to try process of elimination. I am going to try going for a week without eating wheat products of any kind. A big task for someone who would gladly eat bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner! If I notice an improvement this may be the beginning of a lifestyle change. We will see! So on the menu for breaky: banana slices, orange wedges and a rice cake with a little good old fashioned peanut butter! I am a little excited about this as I have been reading up on the raw food diet. I am not quite ready to attempt that, still have a little more research and planning to do but this is a stepping stone. Have a happy Sunday everyone and stay tuned to see how this plays out!
