Feeling down
Aug. 29th, 2016 09:20 pmI have food issues and this means I also have weight issues although perhaps not the way I'd expect.
I tend to eat a higher protein diet. I have a dairy restriction but I only seem to react to cow's milk and can process goat and sheep's milk in limited quantities. But I had to cut out many of my favorite treats- ice cream, cheese cake, baked goods.
I have IBS and do not process green leafy vegetables and whole grains cause problems.
I have GERD and they tell me I should not have chocolate, citrus, or spicy food.
Now I'm scheduled for a cholesistectomy and they are telling me I need a really low fat diet for a few months thereafter.
So what, exactly, am I supposed to eat? Meat and cheese are out. Maybe clear broth? Maybe I'll finally lose weight, but I doubt it.
I'm so frustrated I'm crying.
