I ate alfredo pasta with chicken. Yikes!

Rate this Entry
At a friend's gathering, I ate about 1 cup of alfredo pasta with chicken, and boy, did I pay for it for abusing my system. Almost instantly I was bloated. My abdominal was painful. I had to go to the bathroom twice for # 2 during the 5 hours of gathering, and I had to try to not pass gas during this time. The following day, the white of my eyes were grey with redness. My dark circle was DARK. The complexion of my face was just bad. I'm not exagerating! The painful bloat did not end until the next night. Our face really shows how our digestive system is doing.

I realized that I'm allergic to the cream and butter in the sauce. I come to that conclusion because I eat chicken once in a while since March 12, but my body did not react the way it did this time. The difference is that this time I had a dairy which I hadn't have since March 12.

All these years before I found raw food, I drank milk and yogurt on a regular basis, my dark circle had been bad and my eyes were never clear. I though I was just born ugly. After I went raw, I cut out all dairy and my dark circle, eyes and complexion have improved so much. I thought the raw food helps, but the truth is, it was also cutting out the dairy, which made me look as sick as I did.

Well, I learn something new about my body with this experience.
