Espi, WOW!! That elimination diet is super-restrictive!

Quote:
Avoid all forms of beef, pork and chicken, including luncheon meats, hot dogs, bacon, sausage and hamburger. Avoid all cold cuts. Avoid tenderized, spiced, processed or otherwise treated meat products of any kind. Most shrimp now sold in the USA is farmed in Asia and raised on human waste, antibiotics, etc.)

Avoid eggs or any foods containing egg, including custards, cakes, cookies, ice cream, pies, macaroni, salad dressings, noodles, pancake mixes, and all other manufactured or processed foods.

What the heck is left for protein for someone like me?! I live on chicken (organic, free-range) and eggs!!! In fact my husband jokes that he is going to sprout feathers one of these days!! It looks like the only protein sources he recommends are lamb from New Zealand (I've never had lamb ever in my life) and deep water wild caught fish ...

I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon ... but I think I will eliminate gluten to see if it makes a difference ...
