Yes, thank you very much for writing about it all. I went back and have read the last 2 pages of your journal and have gotten inspired. In recent days I am becoming aware, painfully, that gluten just may not be my friend. I loathe the thought of living without eating a slice of bread or whatever again. I know theres gluten free bread, but they are not the same.
I took a lot to heart about what you wrote about your fast. While technically I could do one, fasting isnt for me. Im around food all day long with 3 little ones and now that my husband is working again, my work load just increased 10 fold. So resting isnt much of an option. I know its taboo and not what you did, but Im doing a smoothie fast to remove as much from diet as possible and let myself heal. I read about juice fasts, not my thing either. I made a list of my ailments Ive been mostly ignoring for too long. That and the fact I have a small nickle sized flare of my hand that wont heal is scaring the doo doo out of me. I look back at the pics from so long ago and feel my hands ache from the memory.
Anyway, now that I hijacked your thread, I just wanted to say thank you for being so honest and helping to inspires so many of us here .
