Elemental Diet D1: Ice and blender improves taste. Stomach aches and some nausea after shakes but clears up, probably just adjusting. Trying to drink slowly. No GI symptoms! That’s something! Hungry this morning though, 1800 cal is barely enough.

Started a 14 day Elemental Diet yesterday. Hoping it will beat my SIBO into submission. Shakes taste like vanilla cake batter with a bitter aftertaste.

Purchased a 2020 GMC Acadia SLT. 2012 Subaru Outback burning wheel bearings, torque convertor errors, and reported CVT issues. Much more comfortable and quiet ride. Appleplay is cool. Whole family fits. Not cheap but enjoying it.

My GI struggles continue. Breath testing confirmed SIBO. Taking some herbal concoctions and working on motility, hoping to beat it without antibiotics. One week in and improving. Sick of the limited low-carb diets.

Been using a low FODMAP diet for two weeks to figure out what’s been bothering my stomach. Also got breath tests from QuinTron. Interested to see the results. So far pretty sure I react to fructose and GOS. Likely sorbitol and fructans too but still testing. Surprisingly, okay w lactose!

Been using the Maffetone method on my last few runs. Enjoying the slower pace.

Also been playing D&D with my kids a lot. Discovered Adventure Keep, great tool for creating adventures.

Really enjoying Age of Wonders III lately. What a great game! The OST really puts it over the top.

Got a new order of coffee coming to get me through this quarantine. Been happy with Craft Coffee. Good stuff, reasonable price.

Playing a lot of Divinity II with my son Gabe during the quarantine. Very fun. Nice to actually have time to play through a CRPG.
