Soy, Sugar, Dairy, & Wheat

About two months ago I got sick. Not throw-up sick and not send me to the ER sick. I just did not feel good.

It is a weird thing to try to explain. I had easily explainable symptoms: fatigue, ear-ache, scratchy throat, and was congested. I had weird symptoms: my throat was tight and it ached, but it was also a hurting/pinching/throbbing in my neck, I got night-sweats, a metallic-taste in my mouth, and a couple times my left hand went numb for no reason. I was diagnosed with a sinus/ear infection – I took 10 days of antibiotics and did ear drops in my ear. I am finally feeling like myself.

I’ve become more health-conscious as I’ve aged. After my weird sickness I’ve thought even more about foods I eat. I’m talking added sugars, fake food, synthesized, bastardized “frankenfood”.

I’m experimenting currently with my diet. I’ve severely decreased the amount of sugar and dairy I take in and I avoid soy-products like the plague. Wheat is up next on my list. It’s gonna be a hard one to kick. After all, I do love me a sammich, but will it improve my health? We will see.
