Diary

8:55

• 1 Lansoprazole 30mg

  9:55

• A few watercress leaves

• Microwaved together:

• half a cup of mixed beans and rice

• about one-eighth of a cup of cooked and mixed vegetables with walnuts and sesame paste

• with:

• 1 large ready to eat Co-Op beetroot

• 5 reduced salt tesco green olives

• 1 small strawberry

• half a cup of microwaved frozen peas

• quarter of a tsp of ‘Geo Organics’ Atlantic sea salt crystals

• Half-way through the meal:

• 2 Amoxicillin 500mg

• 1 Metronidazole

• 1 gala apple

  13:24

  Lemon and ginger

• (not a teabag surprisingly, ordered form joe and the juice)

  14:30

• Green Vegan Bowl from Joe and the Juice. Ingredients: Avocado, Kale, Vegan Pesto, Spinach, Pickled Red Onion, Edamame, Broccoli, Lemon, Pumpkin Seeds, Cranberry

  I did’nt know that broccoli and Kale are typically served raw! Edamame was about quarter of a cup which is okay I guess. Cranberry was good, but I bet it’s the infused type. I enjoyed it. Not fulfilled though, I certainly feel like I need more warm things like a grain of some sort. I’m not sure how people can just have salad as a main meal. Grains are a tricky food group to include on the go. They cant be bought in their raw form from anywhere sadly.

  16:00

  From itsu:

• Small veggie'balls teriyaki rice'bowl

• about three-quarters of a Cup of Miso Soup

  Brown rice is about half a cup. Checked the ingredient list a few hours later now, it’s full of stuff, let’s leave it at that. I had diarhea a few hours later, not sure if it’s a cause, a signal from the stomach to get things hour fast.

  16:30

• 1 large pear

  17:50

• Decaf coffee

  Headache + typical symptoms - I’m not ready to explore things out of my usual routine. I need to stick with for a while. The only thing i;ve noticed is that gas levels and toxicity seems to be improving. If i’m

  20:25

  1 Lansoprazole 30mg

• 21:15

• a handful of watercress

• microwaved together for about 2 minutes:

• half a cup of pre-cooked bulgur with some fennel seeds, turmeric powder, and ginger

• half a cup of pre-cooked chickpeas with some fennel seeds, turmeric powder, and ginger

• With:

• half a cup of coconut cultured yoghurt

• 1tbs of cold-milled flax seeds

• quarter of a tsp of ‘Geo Organics’ Atlantic sea salt crystals

Half-way through the meal:

• 2 Amoxicillin 500mg

• 1 Metronidazole

Too good! I ate a bit fast, guilty again. The bulgur is cooked just the right way - it’s probably because i used the water from the chickpeas + the other stuff we added helped. The water happened to be just right, slightly above the dry bulgur, and within 15 min. of simirring (after the boil, which happened quickly!) it was done and almost dry. I mixed it and served. A shame i ate it too fast.

22:25

• quarter of a cup of coconut cultured yoghurt

• 1tbs of PB

• a bit over one-eighth of a cup of almonds

• quarter of a cup of frozen mangos

• three-eighth of a cup of frozen cherries

• 1 small strawberry

• quarter of a cup of partially rehydrated apricots from lidl bag (about 8)

• 3 cacoa seeds

• 1tbs of Plenish soy milk

  a quick re cap. The really bad gas started after Auntie’s visit. Coincidence? The bad gas seems to be disappearing now. Meditation? Probably, that’s what the lanzoprazole does, proton inhibitor, reduces acid in the stomach. And spicy food, or food with too many spices stimulate more stomach acid? Not sure yet, but it fits with aunty’s food. Similarly these past two days. My symptoms seem to elevate when I have something that doesn’t fit the recommended level of ingredient ‘purity’. On Saturday it was after the matcha, today it was after the salad and the itsu stuff. Coincidence? Other causes would be psychological, but that’s not the aim of this diary. This diary is to mark and analyse how my food intake is influencing my energy, mood, focus though points in time.
