Yeti orange Icepops !!!

My new unpleasant lesson for the day (for me, obviously):
Don't touch Ice pops!!
Remember all the lessons I learned with drinks and juices, one of my strongest and most unpleasant reactions? Same applies here.

Go slow on the experimentation phase!

If I look back about a week or so ago after a "good run", I was starting to feel a bit more confident in trying out some things I felt I really should test. These included pureed apple and soy yoghurts. I did experiments of both within a 2 day period. Combine that with some stress around birthday, an important midweek meeting to do with work, and some anxiety about a deeply personal issue of faith and I was all set for a deeper level of gut instability and suffering that can no longer be traced to food item A B or C. Don't do it!

If you add to the mix that I am a confessing Christian, you know, the kind who actually believes in the power of a good God to interact on our behalf, then that confusion can actually get worse. Many people who believe in God and his...
