I dont think that I can do the whole avoiding soy thing it is in to much and I have given up so much already. Yesterday I had a healthy breakfast packed for work but I work in a store so everything is right at my fingertips. I didnt want what I had packed so I ended up eating a Belvita breakfast cookies they are healthy but yes they have soy. I also have graham crackers in the morning with my coffee and yup soy. I will try but I have a job and lots of things I want to avoid I eat because I simply do not have enough time to make everything homemade. Many breads and rolls have BHT I would prefer not to eat this but do I have time to make homemade bread and rolls ...umm NO! I stopped drinking coffee mate and cremora over a year ago lots of chemicals. Sometimes I make homemade flavored creamer but have adjusted to the taste of half and half and I still have to add some sugar! Now for some reason, well I guess it was looking for soy, I see that my half and half has carageenan I have avoided flavored creamers for this reason. Carageenan is a funny one because its a thickener and it can be a source of MSG. sometimes it is made with sea weed this is a safe one to eat but how do i know the difference? Unless its stated and sometimes it is I just do not know. So I have decided to see if I can handle whole milk in my coffee instead of half and half. I can and no carageenan in it. I also noticed that my most favorite toothpaste has maltodextrin in it a known source of MSG!! CRAP! So I am switching to crest total care I see no maltodextrin in it. Since this months headache lasted 3 weeks it gives me one week until i start my period so one week to feel human and be headache free. I am trying to really eat healthy this week and work very hard to avoid all trigger foods I am hoping this will make a difference in how my head feels next week. I am packing celery with peanut butter for my mid morning snack for lunch i will have salad with one of my good dressings for dinner its just the kids and me and I am making waffles. I have been drinking a berry detox tea too this helps sometimes the regular detox tea tastes OK but the berry is pretty good. I have felt so good this week and I am wondering if its the butterbur already or just being off topamax. It is amazing how much that I can get done around here and how clean my house can be when I feel really good. I did not sleep well at all last night wind and rain kept waking me up so far I do not feel tired but I have a ton of stuff to do today and i hope I do not get hit later
