Healing your gut is not a quick process, by any stretch. My Dr. said it would take as long as two years, and I guess that might actually be correct. There are days that I ache like crazy, days that IBS rears it's ugly head, and days that I feel OK. I'm looking forward to the days that I feel GREAT! I know they will come, because I am committed to eating and living healthy from now on.
I ordered a Breville juicer, and it was delivered yesterday, so now I am planning on adding juices to my meal plan. I will do a 15 day juice reboot program beginning on February 1, and then go from there, depending on how I feel. I keep reading about the wonderful benefits of juicing, and agree that my health is worth the small sacrifice of time it takes to make good juices.
I am finding that stress is a huge part of gut health, also, and am making preparations for that to change. More on that in a few months:)
*Yum-yum Note: I had been craving pizza for days, so we made a gluten free focaccia bread recipe that I used for the crust, and I had a yummy cheese and pepperoni pizza with no belly ache afterward. The recipe is in the Gluten-Free Quick and Easy cookbook by Carol Fenster.
