Quick question for those of you on List 3 or above. After my little cheating spurt I have succesfully gone without any unnatural sugars for 8 days, for the first 6 I cut out the natural sugars as well. I know that even natural sugar can cause inflammation and flares in sensitive patients.. right? So I added in blackberries a couple days ago, felt no different.. so I waited a day and ate some more today for a snack. How much fruit is okay to eat and should we not eat them alone? I forgot to ask Matia this question! Any input would be appreciated :)
I think it
might be individual, Lindsey. I made blueberry muffins today and did fine with them. I had some blackberries on Saturday, and I felt my bladder a little perturbed. I think I had too many. Fruit is still a bit tricky for me. I am taking it slow even though I am on List 3.
I am on list 3 and was told
I am on list 3 and was told not more than the equivalent of 2 small apples a day (portion-wise) of fruit. But, it might be different for you.
Thanks ladies. It sounds like
Thanks ladies. It sounds like I'm just going to have to ask her :)
fruit phobias
matia always says to me to eat fruit after eating a full meal of other stuff- maybe to buffer the effects if there are any bad ones...
I've got the OK to try fruit, but am afraid of grapefruit especially. Anybody have a good grapefruit experience? Blueberries after a meal have been OK for me.
Also afraid of tomatoes. I keep trying a slice here and there and am OK, but have a big block against them, and beans (green, black, white).
Obviously, I have some food fear. How do people work up the courage to try new things they're afraid of? If you react, generally how long do you react for?
I am so afraid
of grapefruit and tomatoes, too! Last night we went out to dinner for our anniversary, which we haven't done for the longest time. I spent all this time on the computer figuring out exactly what I could eat at this restaurant beforehand, and then when I was talking to my server it was all different than I thought. Honestly, I was so nervous during that meal and after. Now I am not doing good, and I wish I had eaten my own food on a picnic or something.
