Well, my digestion is certainly fine again, but my energy is not as high as when I was totally raw. Do I have to choose between raw food and chronic diarrhea or cooked food and low energy?? I am eating well, I am avoiding known triggers, but again today there was some nasal congestion, I was snappy with my daughter, felt a little bloated and needed a nap after supper. I just don’t get it. I feel like I am returning to my semi-somnolent state again, and I don’t want to feel that way. I can exist feeling like that, but not live well. Maybe I will need to take hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes with each cooked meal after this month. Maybe my body just can’t digest even vegan cooked food well. I don’t know. Any wise words out there? Here’s what I ate today:

Breakfast:

Fruit salad of mango, orange and apple
Rest of smoothie that I said I had as a snack last night, but didn’t

Lunch:

Large lettuce and spinach salad, yellow sweet pepper
Slice of vegan pizza
Slice of vegan chocolate cake

Supper:

Lentil vegetable stew – beet greens, sweet potato, caramelized onion, Merlot infused sea salt, green lentils
Slice of gluten free bread with coconut oil
Slice of vegan chocolate cake

Snack:

Balsamic vinegar nutritional yeast kale chips

OK, writing this out, I think I get it. Maybe too much grain, even gluten-free with the pizza crust, the bread and the cake. I bet that’s it. Tomorrow I will try a grain free day and report how that went.
