Virgin Diet Cycle 2

The Day After The Gluten Challenge

Cycle 2

Day 83

 Diary of a JJ Virgin Diet Follower

Dear Diary,

It's the day after my gluten challenge where I reintroduced gluten back into my diet. I could hardly believe that just eating food could cause my body to react in the way that it did. I mean, as soon as I ate that gluten in the form of wheat pasta, I began to have a litany of symptoms. Stomach rumbling, stomach ache, dizziness, tired, slow walking, drowsy, belching, burping, gassy, bloating and did I say stomach upset. The symptoms were non-stop, they just kept coming, in waves of stomach rumbles, and disturbances. It was as if my stomach was trying to kick the wheat pasta-gluten out. Unbelievable! The symptoms lasted for 3-4 hours and lingered well into the night which totally interrupted my sleep. No good sleep last night.

However, this morning, I awoke with no symptoms-none at all, and feeling so much better.  Amazing!

That was a scary experience, and to think, it was gluten that caused it all. Who knew that certain foods could make me feel so bad? I didn't. But, JJ Virgin of The Virgin Diet did!

JJ Virgin says that it is important to perform the food challenges and discover foods that I can't tolerate. "Consuming a food that you can't tolerate will stall your weight loss".

That is why I did the gluten challenge, so that would know which food that I cannot tolerate.

I'm much better now and can conclude that I have food intolerance to both soy, and gluten. Seriously!

Okay Diary,

 Until the next time.
