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.

Hope despite suffering: mining my "failed" faith healing for a deeper perspective and connection
For 8 long years, I have been battling increasingly frequent and intense gut pain. My symptoms are often referred to collectively as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or Leaky Gut . For chronic sufferers, we have been shown to experience from the same level of causal discomfort a higher intensity of suffering than someone who doesn't regularly suffer. When I suffer from it badly, I can't socialise, I am moody and very self-pitiful. Added to the horridness of the situation is not really knowing how to manage it - all diets have let me down and medical reports have sent me conflicting reports that have left me thoroughly confused.

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.

Go slow on the experimentation phase!
Hi folks, just a quick note to share a hard lesson I've been learning recently about experimentation. 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! Also comma consider limiting experimentation to maybe two new items per week and integrate good conditions that are necessary for successful experimentation on a very sensitive gut, such as sleep and peacefulness. Be patient, we have all our lives to work out these details. Thanks for reading.
