This week went pretty smoothly. I had minimal symptoms from the Mannitol group and I'm looking forward to including them in future meals. Some things I did note, however, is that they do cause an increase in gas for me. So when I'm in a flare and everything is inflamed, I should definitely avoid foods in this group.
In the past, trapped gas has been a major source of pain for me during a flare. My nutritionist said that this is one of the things we'll look at during the customization phase - where we figure out what foods I can include and avoid in the future.
One thing I noticed was that by the third day I was struggling to want to eat mushrooms. Something I never thought was possible. But in my old life, I doubt I ate mushrooms that many days in a row before. So it's no wonder I was tired of them by the third day.
This next week, I'm challenging Fructose - so honey or mango. I'll probably be sticking with honey since that is already a part of my regular diet. I don't normally eat mango, so it doesn't make sense to challenge with that. I don't think I'll have the 'boredom' factor for honey, since I normally put that in my tea on a daily basis.
Wish me luck!
