Nutrition woes

I can’t remember if I’ve posted about this before, but I know I haven’t in a long time, and it is still bugging me, so if you don’t want to hear it, DEAL!

Hehehe

I’m really angry with food and my immune system right now.

You see, I’m allergic to a lot of stuff. A lot of healthy stuff. Which makes it really difficult to eat in a nutritionally rich way. So far, the list of things I’m officially allergic to is as follows:

• Almost all fresh fruit, except pears, blueberries, and citrus.
• Carrots
• Milk
• Soy

You see what I mean?

And those are just the foods that are confirmed allergens.When i got tested, I also tested high (3 on a scale of 0-5) for eggs and wheat. I did an elimination diet for wheat, but I should probably do it again.

So I feel SO MUCH better since I’ve cut out my allergens, but I tend to get into food ruts. I can only eat so many salads, and fresh blueberries are EXPENSIVE!

I always have veggies at dinner, but incorporating them throughout my day is difficult. I love all these green smoothie ideas that I keep reading about, but they require fruit!

Anywho, I need ideas, people! IDEAS! I’m in a total carb rut right now, and I know it’s not a good thing. We are finally coming out of a major stress season, or at least dropping to a lower level of stress, so I finally CARE about how I feel again. I actually want to take care of my body! IMAGINE THAT!

So all you crunchy, healthful-eating friends of mine, I need you! Point me to resources, send me recipes and ideas, or whatever you can think of! Help me de-rut!

Blessings!
