Breakfast Oats with oat milk, cashew butter, cinnamon, vanilla and raspberries. About 350 calories. Lunch Leftover turkey meatballs, quinoa and vegetables. About 430 calories. Dinner I made chicken soup with chicken thighs (boneless and skinless), carrot, celery, cannellini beans and ginger. The base was chicken stock with a bit of turmeric and I used olive...

GERD Elimination Diet – Day 7
Breakfast Breakfast was oats, oat milk, cinnamon, vanilla, cashew butter and raspberries. This probably won't change until I'm out of raspberries. About 350 calories. Lunch I had a late breakfast again and wasn't really hungry so I had a few turkey meatballs and some fruit. About 200 calories. Dinner Salmon, quinoa, broccoli and carrot. I... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 6
Today we went grocery shopping and I was able to get some quinoa and rice noodles so that I don't have to eat brown rice all the time! I also got a variety of fruits and vegetables. There was no oat milk so I had to get almond milk instead but I'll manage. I got... Continue Reading →
Trying to Enjoy Mushrooms and Summer Squash – The Plan
I was once again limited in some ways by what the grocery store had in stock, though it was definitely better than the last time we went shopping when we had to go to two different stores to find what we needed. We are now good on food for another two weeks! I wasn't necessarily... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 5
Breakfast The same as yesterday. Oats, cinnamon, vanilla, oat milk, cashew butter, mango. Nearly 400 calories. Lunch Again, same as yesterday except the vegetables were a bit different. Tuna, brown rice, vegetables. I did add extra olive oil because I think I actually need more fat. This was about 350 calories. Dinner I made turkey... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 4
No photos today because I didn't really do anything new. Breakfast Usual oats with oat milk, cashew butter and cinnamon, but this time I added a dash of vanilla, and it really made a difference. That's going to be the norm from now on. I ate some mango too but I kept it separate this... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 3
Breakfast Oats with oat milk and cashew butter again, this time with blueberries. They had been in the freezer too long though I think so they weren't that good, and I'm not the biggest blueberry fan anyway. They only really get used for blueberry muffins, which I haven't made in a while. I really hope... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 2
Breakfast I ate oats for breakfast again, this time with more oat milk and less cashew butter (I think there was too much yesterday, in terms of both taste and fat content). About a tablespoon is, I find, an appropriate amount for a normal serving of oats (half a cup dry). I topped my oats... Continue Reading →
GERD Elimination Diet – Day 1
Breakfast I made oats with oat milk. I tried the oat milk separately; it's pretty inoffensive tasting so that's good! I added a little cinnamon, and topped with raspberries (previously frozen) and cashew butter. I mixed oat milk and water to try and keep the fat content down but I don't think that was really...

GERD Elimination Diet
I managed to buy enough of the right food to begin this on Monday. We'll see how it goes; grocery shopping is pretty difficult right now. What is an Elimination Diet? An elimination diet is a diet you go on to identify foods that don't make you feel good. Typically, when you begin you will... Continue Reading →
