Could my kefir be making me sick...Let's play detective

[Dace]

Thanks DM, that is exactly what I was thinking. I started a new jar with a smaller grain and I will give that a try tomorrow without the broccoli!

My next suggestion will be to completely ditch everything you are having in the morning and have something COMPLETELY different for a day or two. See how you do. If dramatically better, add items in one at a time to see which one is the culprit.

It is strange that you could do well on this regimen for so long then suddenly it is making you sick. How frustrating!

Free....great idea, but I am drinking my smoothie as I read this ...DOH!

I did change it up though.

I had a few carrots early AM followed by 1 c of green tea (not missing the coffee so far...hope I don't get a headache)

My smoothie I changed...carrots, blueberries, plain yogurt and 1/2 banana.

I am suspect of the kefir and the broccoli, so I left them both out. Also taking an break from eggs.

All day yesterday I felt off. I forced my self to eat a small salad for lunch and wasn't really in the mood for dinner....so I had some vanilla pudding with a few strawberries. Tried to drink my water but my tummy was just a little off.

Hopefully I can pin point the issue...this is getting old quick!

I am grateful for everyone's input

Dace . . . if you think your symptoms are getting worse (lasting longer through the day), maybe you have the stomach flu? Let us know how you feel today. Hopefully this will go away soon.

I am feeling SOOOOOOOO much better! Yeah!

I swam, felt great, came home and made a nice big ol' salad...nice to have an appetite!

So suspects as of today are broccoli, kefir and fried eggs.

Thanks for all of the great ideas and suggestions!

I'm glad you are feeling better. Are you going to add those suspect foods back one at a time and try to find out which one was causing the problem? If so, I'll be interested to hear what it is.

 

[Dace]

Yes, I will add back one at a time and of course I will update!!

Although, I am afraid now to self induce another sick day! I am putting my money on the broccoli. I have been upping the amount I put in my smoothie and for about the last week or so I have been adding a heaping cup.

I was wondering if you would have the courage. I don't know if I would. But maybe if you wait a week you will feel braver?
