I am on a very special auto-immune eating program right now. It's supposed to be what my body needs to get my gut properly functioning. This means Jeff has become a human guinea pig when it comes to new recipes, new flavors and new textures. I pulled the recipe for this bread off of the internet. It was a bit on the chewy side so I guess I'll keep looking for a really nice one that tastes and feels more like gluten filled bread. All in all- I liked it and Jeff approved as well!
@ludwigsdiana Sometimes I cook for both of us; sometimes one for him and one for me (mostly on the sides; I can have pretty much any meat). There's nothing really off the wall but a lot of my recipes and "usuals" have to be adapted for what I can and can't eat. It's a bit complicated at times, but I must say I am seeing a difference- especially in joint health and some weight seems to coming off too. There's just enough difference to keep going as "complicated" as it may seem. Check out AIP recipes by typing that in Google and see what you think. You might find a recipe or two that he'd like.
For about 5 years I was eating a paleo diet but the rest of the family was not really on board. It became quite a nuisance cooking two different meals all the time. Nice that you have someone willing to experiment along with you.
@gardencat I'm sorry to hear you didn't have the support you needed for that. The paleo diet has a lot more freedom than the AIP one. I'm hoping I'll be able to go back to that once my system has cleaned itself up a bit. Thankfully at this point, I only have to make rice and potatoes other than sweet potatoes for him. And I've been able to adjust some of our favorites using dairy-free and gluten-free products. They don't taste AS good, but they're tasty enough.
@joysabin Thank you Joy- it does seem to be helping in the swollen joint department and a little bit in the weight department which is very encouraging.
@olivetreeann That sounds great Ann, thanks for the recipe idea. I cannot afford to lose any weight though. I will check out AIP and see what I can do ;-)
@ludwigsdiana I don't think it's the AIP food that is making me lose weight (and believe me it's not a lot). It's the natural supplements that are readjusting the gut on a cellular level. You should be fine with AIP recipes etc.
Thank you Diana, Dorre, Kathy, Katy, Corinne, Joanne, Harry, Hannah and Ferry! So far, so good!
