Well, I went 12 days on the gf/df trial and gave up today.
We had a potluck at church.

Breakfast - one piece of low salt turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, half of a banana, tea

Lunch - potluck - white rice, salad, tofu dishes w/ veggies, a little bit of lasagna, something else with noodles - not a lot, baby bok choy dish, and part of a brownie and part of a cinnamon cake thing.  yum! 
I will find out if I feel different since I totally had gluten and some dairy.

Dinner - salad and asian pear , almonds and tostitos

ugh.  I can tell that I ate differently today. 
upset digestion.

snack/dessert - more gluten -and sugar - tried a little piece of pumpkin cake that my daughter made.  it is good.

Day 12 of gf/df - March 10, 2011

If I make it.

Lunch - packed for work - almonds, peanuts, tostitios,  clementine orange; brown rice/ quiona/ veggie mix

Day 11 - Friday, March 18, 2011

I am not sure that this gf/df thing is making any difference at all.
That could be because I am probably not really getting all of the gluten or dairy out of my diet.
It is harder than I thought to do that.

Breakfast - a slice of turkey ham, an egg- fried, and a slice of goat cheese and tea and a ginger cookie
(yes, I know the cookie is probably fattening, but it is yummy and gluten free)

Lunch - banana, rice chips, and a ginger cookie
the ginger cookies are the teff/ ginger/ molasses cookies
they are really good and totally gluten free
they are also sugar free
but they have a half of a cup of molasses, a half of a cup of maple syrup and a half of a cup of almond butter in the batch of 24 cookies.  is that bad?  they taste good! 

Snack, Tostitos, goat cheese, olives, ginger cookie

Dinner - potluck - fried rice w/ shrimp and some sort of meat and veggies, stir fry veggies - carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, hardboiled egg - the kind cooked w/ pork and soy sauce so it is brown,  tofu, ginger cookie

Day 10 - Thurs, March 17, 2011

I am getting tired of this gf/df thing. 
And I am not even doing it right. 
Bummer.
I feel hungry without the empty carbs. 
Then I eat other stuff instead. 
Like almonds. 
Which are fattening.
Some people have lost weight going gf.
Not me.

So for today:

Breakfast - cooked millet and amaranth with a little coconut milk and tamari and a fried egg
                   tea, and a teff/molasses/ginger cookie.

Lunch - salad - greens, strawberries, olives, gf dressing, water

Snack - hummus chips, lemon, ginger cookie

Dinner - rice/quinoa casserole w/ carrot, onion, butternut squash, cilantro, collard greens
             a few bites of roast beef
             some purple yam and carrots that were cooked w/ the roast
             some goat cheese and hummus chips

Day 8 - Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Well, it is the Ides of March.  Beware.
At least one of Japan's nuclear reactors is melting down and radiation is leaking out.
Is that how Godzilla was created? 
Perhaps he really will live there.
So sad.
It really looks that way.
Look - smoke plume from nuclear reactor
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex (Reuters/NTV via Reuters)
and - Godzilla

Day 7 Monday, March 14, 2011

I have survived one week of gf/df eating.  I have had small amounts of each - both on purpose and accidentally a few times, so I am not sure if it truely counts as total gf/df. 
I have not had as much achiness as I had last week before starting this gf/df diet.
Is that related or coincinence?
Not sure.
I will go one more week and see.

Breakfast/brunch - a mix of quinoa, millet, buckwheat, teff and amaranth cooked in chicken broth,
and an egg, and tea.

snack - corn chips and salsa at Costco, toasted pepitas, grapefruit, lemon

Dinner - quinoa mix, salad, a bit of gf bread that I made.  It is really bad.  I guess I will throw it out.
rice crackers, more pepitas, probably something else - can't remember
