Getting better thru my Diet.

[JimO]

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words.

Seems like I'm on the right track. I took a trip to Jekyll Island for a conference. Wading in the surf was great for my feet, though you don't want to swim very far due to the sharks (shark capital of the east coast). I did stray from my diet somewhat (hit a Golden Corral on the way home, LOL) and paid for it. My hands started to get inflamed and red the next day. Went back to lots of rabbit food, fish and chicken. Hands are doing much better. Also out getting some sun as I'm finishing the exterior on my workshop and adding a lean to for covering my mower and lawn equipment.

Gilly, hang in there buddy. I'm slowly getting back to playing. Can't believe how out of shape my hands are.

Now my father in law wants me to grill every a feast of steaks, potatoes and all the stuff I can't eat for memorial day. I'll cook some chicken and make an awesome salad for myself.

Great news that the diet is working, and you have found enough variety to stop it from being boring, it's such a shame that the things we tend to like are the things we should cut out.
So you found out the hard way that slipping from the diet, had dire consequences. At least you are unlikely to do it again.
It's going to take willpower to cook steak and burgers for others and just have chicken and salad yourself
I'm afraid my will power is not that good
I wish you continued success, thanks for updating and stay strong

Been cooking a lot of fish lately, with garlic and herbs. Using Mr. Dash herb an garlic and Italian medley. Wife only likes Captain D's fried fish so I just make it for me.

Also taking supplements. Vit D3, B's, Slippery Elm, and American Saffron (Saffron Tea).

Making the saffron tea in a French press. Adding some fresh mint that grows near my deck and a shot of Minute Maid lemon juice. Let it steep for 15 min and pour over ice. Yummy and soothing to my belly and lower track.

Sounds good I may try that this summer, just one question what's a French press?

It's a coffee maker that you put your coffee, or teas, in the bottom, add hot water, and use the plunger to filter the grounds or tea leaves.

hi i recently changed my diet realising that the cure must come from the inside,so i avoid anything with wheat in it you have to be careful because wheat is in nearly everything i also gave up cows milk and use almond milk it tastes realy nice and keeps for longer i believe cows milk is for cows and if you check it out on youtube you will give it up too.i purchased a nutri bullet and have a smoothie every day i have banana,carrot,frozen fruits and spinach green vegtables are very good for the skin you can buy them from tesco or any other supermarket and i do not drink tap water i think that flouride is poison i have to wash in it bit if i had a choice i wouldnt so now i will explain the changes since the diet first  i am 62 i have psoriasis or should i say had because it is definately fading and i think will eventualy go altogether im also about 17 stone and this diet has a nice side afect it also helps to loose weight because most foods that contain wheat are fattening i also have C.O.P.D and if i can bring my weight down that will help my breathing i hope you give it a try you have nothing to lose let me know how your doing god bless dougie
