So about a week ago or so, I realized that I'd been feeling really crappy for a while and it seemed like everything I ate or drank was making my stomach hurt or my digestive system cramp up. Then I thought about what I'd been eating and it really wasn't much of a surprise. :P Long story short, I'm not drinking coffee right now (it seems to be stressing an already stressed system) and I haven't eaten cereal in a week which is sending me into withdrawal. I'm eating primarily fruits and vegetables with some whole grains thrown in and limiting my dairy. By 'limiting dairy' I mean 'only 3 - 4 glasses of milk a day' versus, say, half a gallon plus cheese and yogurt, so it's very relative. Meat is, as typical for me these days, usually an after thought and I'm meeting my protein needs more with nuts and beans than anything else.

I am feeling better (albeit very slowly) and my stomach has stopped hurting - except for when I ate a chocolate chip cookie yesterday and then it reminded me that it hadn't been that long and what the hell did I think I was doing?! Ouch. On the bright side, this all led to me discovering a recipe for sweet potato and black bean enchiladas that I tried today for the first time and it is gooooood. The original recipe was from cookieandkate.com, but I feel like I changed it enough that I should share my version, which will be easier than listing everything I changed!
