There's no picture tonight. Will cooked dinner (that I prepared ahead of time) while I was at the doctor, and I told him not to worry about the pictures tonight. Two fussy kids and making dinner is a lot for him. :-)
Dinner Menu:
Roasted Chicken Legs & Thighs (Stokesberry Sustainable Farm)
Roasted Dino Kale (Oxbow Farms)
Steamed Broccoli (Oxbow Farms)
Leftover Yukon Gold Potatoes (farmer's market)
Today I went to the doctor.
Overall, it went really well. I had typed out two pages of my medical history, neurological problems, intestinal issues and current issues and all of my food restrictions/allowances for her. She ordered a LOT of tests and referred me to the research GI that our friend recommended. Most importantly for me, she believed me and didn't just assume I needed a psychiatrist because I was stressed out and making things up like the lovely Boston neurologists said back in 2008.
Medicine has finally caught up with some of the paleo principles I found years ago: namely, that gut inflammation due to diet problems/autoimmune issues can lead to neurological issues. It's actually part of a diagnosis now, in 2013. Back in 2008, it wasn't. This was such a relief for me. I was so upset, thinking that I would go to a doctor again and I would just get told to go to counseling.
So I'm feeling fine, mostly because I'm only eating like, seven or eight kinds of foods right now. Today I had eggs, butter, full fat yogurt, avocado, bone broth and chicken. That's it. I had a LOT of bone broth. I'm actually making another batch (with chicken feet and chicken carcass) right now because my beef bone broth will run out tomorrow at the rate I'm drinking it. It's really helping me right now.
As for dinner, the children scarfed down all of their kale and broccoli and ate some chicken.
I was a happy mommy tonight. :-)
