Reintroduction :: Chia Seeds

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 are something that I successfully 

reintroduced the first time and something that really helped my digestion.

I'd like to use this blog to document my reintroductions so I will

probably come back to this post and update each day, but we'll will see.

It's been two days now and I haven't had any adverse

reactions from eating chia seeds.

I didn't expect to but I'm glad I haven't.  

I am going to give it another day or two and then

I'm going to add something else in.

I'll let you know what that is when I decide.

9 February:
Passionfruit Chia

Today's concoction didn't need to go in the blender,

I just mixed the following with a spoon and let it set til firm.

The pulp of two big passionfruits, a scoop of Collagen Powder, 

two tablespoons of chia seeds, and a couple spoonfuls of
Coyo Probiotic Vanilla Bean Coconut Yoghurt

I think I'm going to call Chia Seeds a successful reintroduction.
I haven't seen any negative effects from eating them.
In fact, I've seen positive effects. 
They do wonders for my digestion, if you know what I mean.
If you don't, that's ok ... I'm going to write a post on it.
But not tonight.
