Food and medicine shuffling

 The hips above the heart posture has been very helpful as has the new cane that I got. The new package I got of Colostrum has been helpful too, the pure colostrum means it's easy to get a decent amount of the stuff inside my body when I need to take it. The Serenoa whatever(forget the second word but this is a name of the main character in Triangle Strategy, a video game) stuff is working great. It isn't really solving all my problems but combined with everything else I've been taking? It's been fantastic. Its default name is Saw Palmetto which is a really weird name IMO, so I'm just going to call it Serenoa from now on instead. 

I've been shuffling around my diet quite a bit lately. I'm not really having an issue with eating dairy in moderation, even many varieties of dairy, the main thing I watch out for is to make sure whatever kind it is, it's low in sugar or has no sugar in it.

Today, I ate cottage cheese for the first time in a very long time. The plan is to eat it once after waking and again before going to sleep. It's one of a few different recommended cheeses. Back when my digestive system was still a mess I remember eating what I think was some 'French parmesan cheese', forgot how it's spelled, but at the time I think I 'binged' the cheese which was not helpful. Whatever the case, as I have some in my fridge now I plan to try it again, this time without the binging. If the cheese turns out to not really be to my liking, then I can just stick to eating Swiss Cheese I suppose as a source of the protein type that this cheese provides. I already tried some of the recommended Ricotta stuff and I think this is the kind that is supposed to be cooked, so I'm going to try something else with it than what I just did which was taste it, be grossed out a bit, and then mix it with natto, only to later decide I've had enough of it and throw it in the trash when I was done eating what else was in the bowl.

I have a new idea for a meal using buckwheat flour, and I plan to add some ricotta to that. I may try adding some pumpkin butter as well. May end up doing some research the day of to help decide how to prepare it.

It's too early to get excited about being free from IBS but as it is right now, the current results are encouraging and indicating that I may actually be IBS free by the time winter comes around which was my goal. I'll be hoping it stays in remission until winter is over.
