What happened this week?

This was a bit of a mixed week, some good things and also some things that didn’t go as well. It felt a bit like a struggle mentally at times and there were like a whole lot of these little things that popped up that somehow just made the week feel messier and fuller than I had wanted.

It was my birthday day this week. I received some money and gifts and besides that mostly had a normal day at home. I had bought some gluten free cake for myself that I combined with whipped cream and strawberries that turned out great. And I also had bought some gluten free cookies with some cinnamon and other spices that were great.

One of best parts of this week was the fact that I had almost no gut symptoms at all for a few days. The dish I had made for dinner in combination with the enzymes left my gut feeling super calm and even the bloating went down. I can’t remember the last time I felt that good gut wise. Sadly after that I made another dish and it all came right back, which was a struggle to deal with it again after the few days of feeling so good. The good news is that this confirms that it’s something in dinner that is the problem and that my other meals are fine now, so that is still process. I currently think the red bell pepper might be the problem and will try to confirm that. I tried taking some other enzymes that help with digesting bell pepper and that helped a bit, but my gut still didn’t feel as good as when I ate the other dish.

And at the end of the week I had my usual period migraine again. Luckily the pain was very mild and pretty manageable with my painkillers, but the brain fog was really bad. It’s just so hard to do anything when my brain feels like that.
