GAPS Intro, here I come!

For the past 2-3 days, I've been suffering from an allergic reaction to...what? Could it be duck, which I roasted and ate for the first time? Could it be the delicious cream I poured over some berries on Wednesday morning? Could it be the fabric I picked up months ago at a thrift store and finally began sewing into curtains? I may never know, but my body knows. My eyes are swollen and itchy, my skin is red, throbbing and flaming. And since I had been preparing to start the intro to the GAPS diet in a few weeks anyway, why not be miserably itchy and cleanse my gut at the same time? What a party this is going to be!

So, here I go.

Day 1: Had my glass of water when I got up, though room temperature in my house is pretty darn chilly. Drank a cup of warm chicken broth for breakfast. It was surprisingly good. Put the duck in the pot with some carrot and onion, then it occurred to me that it could be the source of the itching, so I'll freeze that for Will. At around 11:30 am, felt like having something else, so warmed up the chicken broth again. So far, everything feels fine, but I always knew Day 1 would be pretty easy. I'm cranky, but then that's pretty normal for me when the wind is whipping around the house and down the chimney and I can't get warm. Oh well, back to the couch, the blanket, and The Outlander.
