Today begins what will surely be a Herculean struggle for us- a very restrictive diet. Basically it cuts out everything tasty, and we are limited to eating vegetables and lean meats in certain combinations. Now don't freak out, we're not trying to lose weight here, it's supposed to help figure out what is wrong with my stomach, and potentially even help make it better. R just got dragged along for the ride. The idea is you clean out the bad bacteria and yeasts and other beasties that have been allowed to flourish due to messing up the good ones with antibiotics, and eating not-so-healthy things (like beer and cookies, yum!).
We've basically eaten up or frozen all the "taboo" foods, but it's still going to be a struggle, particularly getting the balance of the easily-digestible foods right. For example, this morning we had quinoa porridge for breakfast, which is an acceptable grain, but you're supposed to eat mostly vegetables and only a quarter grain, and we certainly didn't do that. Who wants vegetables for breakfast?
Anyway, Stephtacular told me to blog about it, so here it is. I really hope it makes a difference, giving up delicious food!
Oh, and my birthday was pretty good, and the play went really well. I'm excited to get to act with them again in the future.

Are eggs allowed in your diet? If they are, then you could have a yummy omelet (no cheese, of course) with lots of veggies in it. :)
