My AIP Table - The Journal

I was at the fish store the other day buying our fish for the week. I always buy salmon and then I try to buy something different. This week I bought Red Emperor.  The man in the fish shop  gave me the suggestion to steam it ... he said he wife has done it that way, with Asian flavours.  So, I found a  recipe online that I could modify.  This is what I came up with.  I didn't have a bamboo steamer but I do now!  What fun! You could use any method  to steam that you want. The fish: Ingredients: 2 pieces of Red Emperor 4 spring onions biggish chunk of ginger small handful of cilantro (fresh coriander) 3 tablespoons coconut amionos 1 tsp honey 3 tablespoons water avocado oil Method: Mix coconut aminos, water and honey.  Set aside. Chop the cilantro. Set aside. Julienne the spring onions and ginger. Set aside. Get the steamer ready. I used a bamboo steamer set on top of a frying pan...

I haven't had a chance to sit and write about my mustard seed reintroduction before now. I actually had forgotten that mustard is supposed to be eliminated and had been  making the  Mustard Pretzel Brussels Sprouts over at AIPooja . Whooops! ** I had no reaction to that mustard nor to the mustard seeds I ate last week. I had no previous reaction to mustard the first time I reintroduced it either so I think it's ok.

So easy ... I just did thick slices of sweet potato.  Tossed them through some avocado oil with a mixture of mustard seeds, garlic powder, dried onion flakes and sea salt. Into a hot oven ...

Today I did my first reintroduction ... well, my first one this time around. I have done reintroductions before.  But I got a little ahead of myself and didn't do them properly. So, from January 1st of this year, I've been back on strict AIP elimination phase. I did have one weekend where I went a little less strict because I was away for a girls weekend with a friend.  I did stick to only things  I had previously reintroduced and still made wise choices.   I didn't suffer any obvious setbacks and none of  my HS symptoms returned which was  both encouraging and exciting! My body is healing! There is a great guide for doing reintroductions on the Autoimmune Wellness website. I followed that guide last time. But because I already have some idea of my triggers, I'm adding things back in a different  order this time.  I'm doing it more out of what is most useful to have in my diet.  Chia seeds a...
