Good stuff Sis!!!
Ok, you must have been listening in on a convo that Jodi, Mara, and I had last night. We were all having tummy troubles for three different reasons.
I’m trying to reintroduce some animal proteins into my diet and it’s been…interesting. My face has broken out, and now, about three weeks later, my stomach is a hot mess. Probiotics and digestive enzymes have become my best friends!
Will-Thanks for stopping by!
Joanna-LOL! on the convo. What happens when I hang up the phone after a meeting? Hmmm… So I take it you were veg for a very long time, yes? I was vegan for a LONG time. All of my 8 comps were done as a vegan. For many reasons (health ones, esp) I am omni again, but I had zero trouble reintroducing those foods. I was all set with enzymes, but no need. Kudos to you for listening to your body. We can spout science all day long, but it comes down to knowing your own bod best.
Every time I have dairy (not the small amount I put in my coffee, but a serving of ice cream, cottage cheese, or a full glass of milk) I break out the next day. It is like clock-work. I’ve learned that if I am going to have the dairy (b/c I LOVE icecream on occation) to expect a small patch of acne.
Kas! OMG, yes with the dairy. (And nice segue to an upcoming post “Truth or Dairy”, thanks! LOL) My hubs had bad backne off and on when we met, and felt like he was digesting glass when he’d have dairy. I got him largely off of it and now he has clear skin on his back and way fewer digestive issues. Most notably: no pain. He’s found a definite link to quantity, but also that he can have cheese here and there if it’s organic and raw/unpasteurized (=enzymes still present).
Did someone say cheese? OY!hehe
Nothing is worse than tummy issues and especially when they are food induced (as opposed to stress induced). Elimination diets can take a long time and frustrations can shoot through the roof when that happens making it harder to find the cause. Thanks for pointing this stuff out b/c I don’t think people attribute too much to their food choices when it is typically ALL about the diet.
Oh Heather, you so earrrrrrrthy! hahaha! Gotta love moms, they tell it like it is!
well hello lovely lady.. Haven’t talked in a while.. I loved your article, humerous as always but wanted to say that I have two clients currently working with a nutritionist locally to check out their food issues.. they are doing wonderful and for one with ulcerative colitis.. a God send.. Thanks for the info and will link your blog to our FB page as well.. Good info.. Don’t think I will ever get to this level of training, no time but love to have professionals like you to give my clients a wonderful contact
Delicious Deidre! Thank you for stopping by! Absolutely check in for info here and there–we all have different blog roles, so there will be daily variety that will relate to clients for sure! And feel free to refer your female athlete clients. {wink-wink, nudge-nudge) We don’t train them for their sport, per se–they have a coach for that. We cross-train them to SUPPORT their sport, while honoring the existing sport-specific training, and FEED them for their sport, PLUS looking hot and aging well. Why choose? LOL Miss you, you’re awesome.
*Any athlete reading this needing a fab sport massage in Atlanta, shoot me (Heather) an email and I’ll give you Deidre’s info. She’s the bomb-diggedy!
