Also the doctor has asked him to make a smoothie every day with various greens (bok choy, kale, mustard greens etc.), berries, aloe vera juice, and 3 tablespoons of coconut milk. I'm drinking it too, certainly can't hurt!
This blog is a chronicle of my quest to shrink my fibroids and enhance my fertility, and share what I have learned along the way. I wish I had known some of these things when I originally was diagnosed with fibroids years ago, so I hope others can learn from my experience. Some of my links are affiliate links that pay me a small commission on any purchases made.

new food restrictions, and adding smoothies
We're still trying to figure out why my husband has high oxidative stress despite taking a ton of antioxidants. He is seeing a new doctor who is putting him on a diet designed to control inflammation. We eat a pretty careful diet but this is even more restrictive -- no citrus, grapes, nightshades (tomatoes, eggplants and peppers), white potatoes, honey, maple syrup, corn. In addition to the no gluten, no refined sugar, no junk food etc. that we already do. Yikes this is going to make my cooking even more challenging. Will be referring a lot to the Body Ecology Diet
, Almond Meal Baking Cookbook
, and Specific Carbohydrate
cookbooks.
