Woke up this morning at 5:30am due to my standard back ache. It was not severe, but it is enough to keep me from sleeping and make me get out of bed. Seems like yesterday morning there was less of an ache. So that isn't exactly the direction I was hoping my night pain to go, but I certainly haven't lost resolve.
I am cooking a salmon filet this morning. Just salmon rubbed with a high quality extra virgin olive oil, baked in the oven. I am really lucky in that I live in the pacific northwest, and just last month a caught and vacuum packed 5 salmon, so I have a supply of salmon filets I can pull from out of the freezer.
If I don't get some improvement in my night pain by end of the week, I am thinking I will try a fruit fast of a few days.
I am really hopeful that I can get the pain to subside, and then I want to start adding some things back into my diet. For instance, before this past Sunday (10/12) when I started my strict NSD and no dairy diet, I would have shakes every morning which included a non-sweetened, plain, whole, and organic pro-biotic yogurt, and some fruits (mostly blueberries, mango, pineapple, peaches, grapes). I think those were great for my GI tract, but for now the dairy is a no-no to give the NSD the best chance for success.
Here's a photo of my baked salmon. Hope the photo hosting works and you can see it. Yum!
