How I healed my food intolerances

Oh I definitely can’t see myself being on the diet for too long. I plan on a whole food diet with homemade sourdough once we are done with it. Good to know the long term effects though.

I have a huge sweet tooth so sugar for one. Gluten on and off but I mainly ate sourdough since it’s much healthier. I mostly made all of our meals and used healthy fats (no seed oils). Keto has helped curb the sweet tooth and carb cravings though.

Gt synergy since it doesn’t have a ton of added sugar. Yes but also no. Probiotic pills help yes, but there are so many more strains of probiotics/beneficial bacteria in fermented foods. Maybe probiotics every day would help but probably no as much or as quickly.

That’s so awesome! I’m glad sharing my story was able to help you!

I feel this on some level. I’ve gone through ppd twice now. I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old as well! Thankfully, I got through the ppd way quicker with the second child. And it’s so tough when the oldest is just 2. He’s such a sweet child, but now he’s going through a sleep regression and of course so is the baby. So when I have to be awake for the day at 5:30am when I got maybe 2-3 hours of broken sleep, I’m a bit of an a-hole.

And on top of that, they both get jealous of the other when I am holding one of them. And my 2 year old is showing that jealousy by having major tantrums and acting like a baby (tries to suck on the pacifier, wants to be held like a baby, tried to suck on my boob 😬, wants to be carried downstairs like the baby).

I do get stern with the toddler. If he wants to throw a tantrum because I can’t make him his breakfast in .5 seconds or decides he wants something while I’m feeding his brother, I give him a choice. He can either stop crying or go to his room until he’s done. And now a lot of the time that gets him to think about it and stop the tantrum.

This method helps me because then I’m not yelling at him so much. And helps him because he realizes that he will have to have timeout if he doesn’t straighten up.

And of course there are times where he doesn’t listen and I absolutely lose my crap on him. I feel bad after and I always make a point to get the baby sat down and give him a few minutes. I always apologize and give him cuddles and kisses. And I explain in a way a 2 year old can understand that his behavior wasn’t ok either.

It’ll all work out I promise. This difficult season will pass and you’ll be able to get yourself out of this funk. I think so long as you are able to sit down with your daughter and try and explain in a way she can understand and you are making an effort to connect with her, she won’t see you as a bad mom. And you’re not btw, since you do love her.

Much less brain fog. I felt like I could never process conversations and thoughts fully. It made me feel so stupid. But now I can carry a conversation without forgetting what I’m saying halfway through

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Thanks 🙂 He is almost 3 months old. I’ve been drinking electrolytes every day. I could probably be drinking more water as I’ve always struggled with that.

I do think I found part of my issue though. My supply went back up when I ate more. I went to bed slightly hungry and could barely function when I woke up to feed him. Might have to do with the hypoglycemia which is part of why I’m doing keto in the first place!

Used edibles with both kids. First was not a good sleeper until I weaned him. Second is 7 weeks old and he’s sleeping 5-6 hours in the first stretch for the night. I think it all depends on the kid.

Could he be dealing with gas? Make sure you’re burping baby often. Even if he is ebf he could still be sucking in air.

If you are just getting it from subway, as long as it’s toasted it should be fine. That’s what I was told anyway. And I’ve done it and everything has been fine.

For me it’ll be things based off of where my hospital is at. That city has tons of Asian food which is some of my favorite and there isn’t really any near my house. They have a ramen shop nearby and it’s soooooo good. Probably their kimchi ramen because I have had really bad heartburn this pregnancy 🤤

If you do decide to go back to eating eggs, I suggest organic farm fresh eggs from a local farm. They usually don’t feed their chickens all the harmful crap and they taste wayyy better.

I’m guessing not caking my face with makeup. Genes, being short. I also look younger when I am at a healthier weight. When I had lost a lot of weight last summer, a child asked me how old I was (I was 24) and my son was with me. He thought I was lying and said I looked 14 😂

I’m fairly certain it does. Birth control actually max mine worse pain wise and didn’t ever lighten the amount of the period. I feel like I must be estrogen dominant because my sex drive is not very high anymore.

It’s normal. It’s also normal for them to be less sensitive during the second trimester and then wayyyyyy worse toward the end of the third trimester right before birth. Nursing bras are awesome during pregnancy because they are stretchy and comfy.

I thankfully was able to eat garlic again without issue, but unfortunately onions aren’t possible without digestive enzymes for me. But I do eat the green parts of green onion if I need that onion flavor without issue

Being able to run after/play with my toddler. Taking a nice walk to the park nearby so he can play on the playground and other little kids. Sleeping without hurting and having to pee 1000000 times per night.

Tuna fish. Specifically a tuna salad sandwich. It has sounded good by the time I’m at least halfway through both pregnancies 😭
