My family doc supports the food plan overall but now wants me to go to a gastroenterologist because I had an incident where I was wolfing down food which included a piece of fish and it got stuck and wouldn't go down and was painful and really really scary and then it did go down). Which I may do. However, for now here is what I am doing:
Basic MWL plan
Also:
no wheat
no flour at all
no raw vegetables
no raw fruits
no tomatoes
no soy sauce, ketchup, mustard or vinegar
no walnuts
no raisins or other dried fruits
no popcorn even totally plain
no rice cakes
no peanut butter and jelly
Did I mention no sugar
So, I am eating oatmeal with cooked fruit like blueberries and bananas, cooked (from frozen) spinach, kale and broccoli,
a pureed homemade soup from potatoes, carrots, onions,herbs and a dash of salt in my bowl, lots of sweet potatoes, brown rice and lentils.
The brown rice is iffy for me..if I chew well and go slowly it is ok.
So, my friends. The above is rough because of the flavorings I can't have and no whole grain bread. But I am doing it. Naturally all the good things are happening. I have dropped 4 pounds in 12 days for example.
No question really. I just wanted to state what is happening.
I will see what the gastroenterologist has to say. I don't have to do what he says. Maybe it is an ulcer caused by a bacteria that can be fixed?? and then I could have mustard again?
