Ah, yes--this sounds so much like my mother's friend Barbara, who developed all kinds of "food sensitivities" after chemotherapy and has only recently decided to eat some foods she used to like because avoiding them wasn't making her better. It's interesting reading, though.
I'm doing it kind of backwards, I think--I've been pushing through the pain for years and have decided to step back from eating some things rather than constantly living in pain! Avoiding carbs and enthusiastically eating nuts, garlicky homemade paleo-friendly curries and vegetables I'd always dreamed of, unfortunately, wasn't the right strategy.
In an amusing twist, it appears that I picked up some kind of 24-hour bug when I ordered in a regular, normal turkey sandwich on normal bread with regular lettuce and tomato. That was Wednesday; I'll spare you a description of Thursday and Friday. HAHAHAHA! I don't think it was what I ate, I think what I ate was contaminated. Darn it. I wanted that sandwich.
