Healing leaky gut: day 4

It's been a tough day. I already knew it would be difficult to remove the coffee. However, I wasn't prepared for my stomach to start hurting. I'll wait a few more days and if I don't get rid of that problem, I'll remove coconut products from my diet as well. I already know that the first two weeks are the most difficult and that the positive results will come. I'll wait patiently and work in the kitchen in the meantime:-)


Breakfast

Coconut Cornflakes

Ingredients

8 dl shredded coconut (large coconut flakes)

0.5 dl water

1.5 tsp cardamom

1,5 tsp cinnamon

1.5 tsp vanilla sugar

3 tbsp honey

Instructions

Mix everything except the coconut in a bowl. Then add the coconut. Mix. Spread over 2 baking trays with baking paper. Bake in the oven at 150 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove the trays, stirring well. Put the trays back in for another 5 minutes. Turn off the oven, but leave the trays for 2-4 hours or overnight. Enjoy!

This became a favorite for my son who ate it in his yogurt! I had blueberries and orange with it. Good to not have to eat so much protein for breakfast.


Snacks

Dipping with golden beets

Ingredients

2 large golden beets

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp water

0.5 tbsp apple cider

0,5 lemon

1 clove of garlic

Salt

Instructions

Set the oven to 200 degrees. Peel and cut the golden beets into pieces, place on a baking tray and pour over the olive oil. Toss around so that all the pieces have olive oil on all sides. Put in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Remove the beets and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a blender and add the remaining ingredients, seasoning with salt. Enjoy!

Can be left out during the day, so when the craving sets in, just dip a carrot:-)


Lunch

Leftovers, Classic meat stew. As good as yesterday!

Headache! Sore throat. Espresso.


Dinner

Quick salmon in the oven with wok vegetables

Ingredients

600 gr salmon

½ piece chopped carrot

1 can of water chestnuts

1 piece broccoli

1 garlic

Olive oil

Salt

Fresh herbs such as coriander, rosemary and basil

Instructions

Put the salmon in an ovenproof tray at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes with olive oil, salt and fresh herbs. The salmon is ready when the thermometer reads 60 degrees or when it splits easily and is not red inside.

Fry the onion in olive oil until it starts to brown. Add the water chestnuts, broccoli and garlic and fry for about 10 minutes. Season with fresh herbs and salt. Enjoy!

The dinner, or rather the salmon, went down well with everyone. The children had gluten-free pasta with the salmon. The wok was delicious and can easily be varied depending on what you have at home.


Evening Snacks

Papaya and pineapple

Yum!

  • Healing leaky gut: day 8

    Woke up at 6 am after 7 hours of sleep and felt refreshed. That hasn't happened in a long time! Today I have spent many hours in the kitchen and in front of the computer. Starting to get a handle on things and have planned the week based on how much time I have to spend in the kitchen. All breakfasts have to be prepared beforehand, there is neither time nor interest to stand in the kitchen and cook in the morning. Most of the food I cook or at least prepare at lunchtime, in the afternoon I have no time to be in the kitchen and dinner must not take more than 30 minutes to prepare. The whole family eats dinner together and I usually make pasta, rice or mashed potatoes for the children. I also have to cook enough to make 3 lunch boxes the next day (here in the US we send lunch boxes to school and kindergarten).

  • Healing leaky gut: day 7

    Today I have felt stressed. Stressed that everything is taking so long. That I feel like I have no time for anything. That the list of things that need to be done never ends. Well, you understand and recognize that feeling, I guess. I've had a planning day. I've put together the menu for the week and shopped for what I need until Friday. Tomorrow's schedule includes cooking.

  • Healing leaky gut: days 5 and 6

    Saturday morning. Many hours in the kitchen were on today's schedule. My stomach doesn't hurt as much anymore and I'm glad! My body feels lighter, but I've had energy dips during the day. It feels like my body is adjusting to real food after all the Christmas food and sugar intake in abundance.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 3

    First day without coffee and it has gone very well! I miss the social aspect of drinking coffee and the taste of course. There is nothing better than a really good espresso or coffee latte, I think. So my goal is to introduce this drink as soon as my 30 day project is over (if my body allows...).

  • Healing leaky gut: day 2

    Day 2 is over. It started off badly, with a really disappointing breakfast and then ended with a super good dinner. My stomach has been extremely bloated during the day and was really sore after lunch. I know I'm sensitive to coconut products, but have decided to keep these in my diet for at least the first week. If my stomach continues to fuss, I will remove these products as well. I don't usually have stomach pain, but I do have other symptoms of a leaky gut which I will describe in more detail in a separate blog post.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 1

    It has been an interesting day. Going from snacking on Christmas food and cookies/candy to strictly following a diet, which includes only the best nutritious and anti-inflammatory ingredients. The transition is sure to take a few days to accept, even as I have prepared myself mentally for several weeks. This change also includes really planning the food, shopping and preparing. Throwing something random together half an hour before food is expected to be on the table will not work. But that doesn't mean that food will take a very long time to prepare, it just requires a little extra planning compared to before.
