Addendum three

For the first time since starting the Whole30 I had to unbutton my pants after dinner.  That is some serious inflation since I have definitely lost weight in the last few weeks.

It's actually a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Anyone who has known me for a long time and knows me well knows that I have a history of eating my fill and then having my stomach blow up like a balloon.

Now I understand that that is completed related to eating inflammatory food.

And another thing...


One of my eyes starting bothering me while I was reading after dinner (I am reading the most wonderful book y'all!)  I starting rubbing and itching and within a few minutes I had to get up to look in a mirror because it was really bugging me.  It looked worse than this under the lower lid.  Very irritated and red.  I flushed my eye out with water numerous times and it burned.  I couldn't find any foreign objects in it.

I'm chalking it up to a liver system manifestation of the systemic inflammation caused by whatever seed/legume oil the sweet potato fries were deep fried in.  (And, maybe the sugar from the few pieces of dark chocolate I snacked on before dinner.)

Yowza.
