\"Pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been following a pretty steady primal focused diet since February of this year. \u00a0I’m at a point now where my diet is pretty solid and my digestive tract is healed up and in a good place. \u00a0Because of this I’ve decided to test the waters and see how I do with adding small amounts of grains and wheat back into my diet.<\/p>\n

I’m not a big bread or pasta eater. \u00a0I don’t get addicted to or crave carbs. I have always been this way, big plates of pasta are just not appealing to me because they always leave me feeling like crap.<\/p>\n

I typically lean more towards a minimal wheat lifestyle just because that is what makes me feel top notch. However I would like to be able to enjoy some oatmeal or some bread on occasion.<\/p>\n

Because I used to be able to handle these items without issue before, I feel like I can get back to that status. \u00a0Lately I’ve been eating small amounts of wheat and whole grains and making notes in my food journal<\/a> of everything.<\/p>\n

I don’t have digestion issues or suffer from stomach cramps when I eat wheat. \u00a0Instead I’ll become a little bloated and it will cause me to have insomnia. \u00a0Sometimes depending on how much I’ve had, I’ll have “wheat sweats” during the night. \u00a0Those are my symptoms. \u00a0Everyone handles food differently and intolerances can have multip symptoms. These are mine with wheat.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve been able to handle whole grain bread without issue. \u00a0If it’s kept in small amounts it does not affect my sleep or cause me to have “wheat sweats”. \u00a0I did have some pizza recently and had the sweats but was able to sleep decently.<\/p>\n

I consider this huge success and progress. \u00a0I would not be in this position if I didn’t take charge of my health and go down the primal road for several months.<\/p>\n

My goal is to be able to enjoy a few slices of bread or some oatmeal on occasion without causing my body too much distress. \u00a0I think that I’m on the right track and making great strides. \u00a0If you follow me on Instagram<\/a> you’ll start seeing more and more of these items pop up the more I experiment\u00a0and keep tracking my eats in my food journal.<\/p>\n
