Veggie Burger-Food Journal-Clif Bar

did you post your food journal yesterday? I cannot find it! :o :/

Ah, I didn’t and then I wasn’t on yesterday! Let me see if I can remember.On Sunday I went to the mountains with my grandparents in the morning and I ate a Clif bar before they came. When we got there I ate fudge haha. Around 12pm we went to eat at a diner and I got a veggie burger with a salad. The salad was simple and it had Italian dressing. Burger had ew white bread, the patty, tomato, onion, spinach, and lotsa ketchup. I ate a few fries, too hah. Then hm… I know I snacked at home, maybe on another clif bar lol. But I made an almond butter and strawberry preserves sandwich around 5pm and then I had cereal some time later and that’s all I remember. Think that was it.Yesterday I had mmm… Wow I have a bad memory and I haven’t been writing it. I had a banana and a Clif bar when I got up. I was feeling weird yesterday and I randomly decided to do yoga. Then I was doing a little upper body stuff. It started raining a bit (been having summer storms this year, it’s gr8) and I went outside to jump rope and even though I’m not supposed to, I wanted to run so I basically just ran around the block for 6 minutes. Then I did more yoga because I didn’t want my knee to bother me. Then I had a clif bar before I showered, then after I made a tofurkey sandwich. Wheat bread, 5 tofurkey slices, spinach, tomato, soy cheese, and mustard cause we were out of avocado :( Actually I took a picture of it cause I know you guys like pictures and I used one of my new tea plates :3 Then I had cereal around 4:30pm and went to work at 6:30 and of course I’m smelling food all night there so I got 2 bean burritos from work when I left. They were just beans and tortilla, and hot sauce. I don’t recall having a clif bar (yes, I really eat a lot of them and lose count track), but I did eat 3 oreo’s. That’s it! Lol. I’m going to post a photo of my sandwich soon. read more..

Healthy Eating-Food Journal-Ibs

After reading your personal page and doing my own research, I think I may have IBS. Has healthy eating and exercise completey gotten rid of it?

I’ve discussed IBS with a follower of mine and how to deal with it, so if you’re interested you can come off of anon and we can talk about that. However, no. There is no way to rid of it because there is no known cure or exact known cause for it, but doctors lean more towards stress being the cause, which also triggers bouts of problems (for me, anyway). A healthy lifestyle has helped it tremendously though. I still get problems but they’re not as severe as they were back when I ate nothing but crap (a year ago, less). Trigger foods will vary from person to person.My first recommendation is starting a food journal, like I described in my page. This will help you to figure out what foods are hurting you, which ones help you, etc. If you see a doctor, they will talk about the problems (this is where the food journal is also very useful), do a blood test, and they will first see if you test positive for celiac disease and maybe a few others things. Though, since there is no known cause or cure, there’s no way to know for sure, like through a test. That will just cross things out as to what it’s not. I’m sure I’ve said too much since this was not the question. Just trying to be helpful haha (: read more..
