I am looking for a suggestion on how I can eliminate brown rice and sweet potatoes during the elimination diet. I did the diet about 9 months ago and had good results and generally know my trigger foods now. My base foods are brown rice and sweet potato- I eat tons of brown rice, like brown rice noodles, brown rice crackers, etc.
I was just diagnosed with chrondromalacia and patellar-femoral syndrome. I feel it is unrelated to food because foods have never bothered my knees before, more likely a functional issue. Still, it is unresponsive to physical therapy thus far so I have to at least consider a food issue.
I am slowly eliminating foods again (goodness I hate to do this again!) and this week I am only eating brown rice, sweet potatoes, green veggies, apples, mangoes and mustard. I can’t help but wonder if it could be the brown rice or potatoes- oddly enough my hands are hurting this week and they haven’t hurt in a while! Mustard has never bothered me before either, but since it’s so hard to eliminate foods again, I am allowing myself some flavor.
Suggestions for what can I live on for a week or two while I eliminate rice and potatoes? I don’t think veggies and fruit will satiate me enough and I will fail. Quinoa is too high protein and creates immediate joint pain.
Thank you!
Tiffany
