I thought I'd talk about things I notice now that I've been through 4 days of GAPS intro. I'm not sure how any of these relates to GAPS or my former diet, but I want to keep track of things. So--
I was really sniffly the few days before beginning the intro. My nose is completely clear today.
I still have a little fungus on the side of each big toenail, but it might be going away. I had this fungus, along with crazy itchy, peeling feet, for a couple of years straight, from about 2006-2008. I noticed it would subside when I went to visit my family in Georgia each year, but didn't know why. Now, I'm thinking that I probably laid off a lot of refined and processed foods during those visits because I didn't and don't really trust American food. Could this be a candida overgrowth issue? Not sure, but when I moved to PDX and started being very careful about processed foods, the fungus went away. Now, it's been back for a few months, maybe. Did I unmask something or is it not food related? Not sure about that one either.
I had been having a little rumble in my gut pretty frequently, in the same spot, lower right, must be large intestine. Anyway, just realized today that I haven't felt that the past few days.
Thick vaginal discharge. OK, no one likes to talk about that, but I recently read that that's one more possible sign of candida overgrowth, so I began noticing it. Haven't noticed that the past couple of days either. Could just be coincidental with my cycle. Never tracked it before, so it's difficult to tell on that one, but we'll see.
My rash is still here, but getting a little better each day. Today I took a few Apis homeopathic pellets to try and get some relief from itching. That might have made a difference, too. Don't know. I just got out of another oatmeal bath, which felt sooooo good! Now I'm in a nightie with no undies. TMI, I know, but the waistband was bothering the rash.
So, that's about it. Tomorrow, I'm going to add raw egg yolk. Getting a little tired of soup, but all in all, I feel good.
