Since cleaning up my diet, I make an attempt to try new recipes, new food, etc. I also have discovered that since my taste buds have drastically changed, foods that I might not have liked previously, I like now.  I absolutely encourage everyone to try new recipes/food at least once a week. I love trying new fruits and vegetables. It is so much fun! To date I have tried: Kale Butternut Squash Couscous - I make plain and then flavor it with my own batch of seasoning Quiona Ginger Kombucha Tumeric Guava Almond Flour Almond Milk *I currently can't remember any others but as I try new things, it will pop up on the blog as I go. Guava! it's a bit tart. I sliced in in half. I scooped out the seeds which its soft and fleshy in the middle. Then I just bit off the rest which is a bit hard. It is definitely yummy! I currently have a papaya and two coconuts ready to be cut and eaten! I can't wait. What new things have you tried lately? "And then he tells me, "Y...

          It's official, my stomach does not like me. :(  I've been doing some research on diets without gall bladders.  Surprisingly, there is none! A few guidelines here and there.  The doctors lied.  They all said that one could eat a normal diet after a month or so after the surgery.  They fail to realize just how much the gall bladder really does aid in digestion.  My liver is now doing all the work. I am heading the in the right direction.  The few guidelines out there do require that one eats a "real food diet" which I mean, no preservatives, processed food, and etc.  However, I now have to eliminate food from my diet.
