I have continued my AIP Journey, and have been slowly been bringing in reintroductions. I wish I could say it has been a great experience but I’m sadly finding that my food intolerance is much worse then I realized.
I’ve added nuts and seeds. So far with the exceptions of cashews and peanuts I did well with this group.
As for nightshades, it’s a no go. I’m not surprised but I do miss potatoes and hoped that would be the exception but not yet. I accept it and will try again much later.
Now for the saddest news. I tried rice this week, it was probably too soon but I had been craving it. I had just a very small amount and it went well but when I had a full serving it did not go great. In fact my stomach is still rumbling three days later.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the AIP diet for the most part but I do miss some of my comfort foods.
Even though reintroduction is a little scary, it’s something I know is necessary. Knowledge is power. You don’t want to intentionally feel bad after you’ve been feeling so much better but it helps to know what you can handle in a controlled setting.
Why I was sad, I consoled myself and I bought a grain free pasta made from cassava (This One). I also got this bread mix (Click Here) which is AIP friendly. I also keep exploring new recipes and even venturing out and creating my own recipes. I even found a “mozzarella” recipe that makes it feel like the real real thing
I still plan to continue introducing food but I will be giving myself a break for a week or so until my body recovers.
Next up corn and legumes. I don’t have high expectations but still I will try. I will never eat gluten again because obviously my body rejects it. As for dairy. I just don’t know yet.
If you’re doing reintroductions too, I would love to know how it’s going so please comment below.
