GAPs Update

I've been plugging along on the GAPs diet. About two weeks ago, I felt it was time to move from the GAPs Intro diet onto the full GAPs diet. Once you get to Phase 6, there really isn't much difference between the two anyway.

The psoriasis is finally starting to clear up on my hands, and the patches around my eyes are gone. Today however, after having my morning glass of mineral water, I started having an itching sensation where the rash patches normal reside around my eyes. This has been consistently happening every week-on Thursdays oddly enough- and I'm not sure what's causing it. In an effort to try and find the reason (if any) I'll be starting a food journal. Yes, I know I probably should have been doing that from the beginning, but it's annoying to document everything you eat.  I think it might possibly just be my body working toxins out. I don't know. Only time will tell.

On the upside, an unintended side effect of going on GAPs is that I'm easily down 10 lbs. I haven't weighed myself in about a week and a half (I'll be doing that again soon), but that last time I was on a scale it was 144 lbs, and that was after having some mineral water. I didn't go on GAPs to lose weight, I went on it to cure my food sensitivities and psoriasis, but I'll take it.
