Thirty Days of Whole30 Recipes – Day Four (A Setback)
It’s day four of our family’s Thirty Days of Whole30 Recipe. Â I’ve lost another pound, bringing the total to four in four days, and my skin is clearer than ever. Â The only downside is that my stomach issues have returned in full-force. I began the Thirty Days of Whole30 Receipes journey in order to find what’s been troubling my gut, not make it worse. Â As it turns out, I did just that…
Our Whole30 Breakfast – Eggs with a Side of Turkey Bacon and Grapes
I had time this morning to make breakfast, so I warmed some organic ghee (butter with the milk solids removed) and scrambled some eggs to perfection.  We also found some bacon that is nitrate- and nitrite free, so I pan fried that in the ghee as well.  I threw in a side of grapes, and voila! – a quick, pretty, satisfying Whole30 breakfast.
About two hours later, I finally realized what had been causing my stomach issues all along. Â The eggs. Â It was the eggs the whole time. Â Gah! Â How did I not realize this sooner? Â After a lot of research, I learned that I had developed a severe egg allergy. Â It started off mild and then grew worse over the span of a couple months until I just couldn’t stomach them at all anymore. Â Literally. Â I laid in bed with one of the worst stomach aches of my life (along with other horrendous symptoms over which I won’t go into detail) and promised myself I’d never eat eggs again. Â Needless to say, I wasn’t able to cook the rest of my Whole30 recipes today. Â Once I was finally able to eat again, I survived on Sprite and Club crackers for the rest of the day. Â My biggest challenge going forward is going to be coming up with egg-free Whole30 recipes for breakfast. Â I love eggs. Â Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a salad. Â This is a sad day for me. Â Stay tuned tomorrow as I fumble around the kitchen to come up with some new ideas sans eggs.
I used to be able to find it on Amazon, but it’s out of stock. Here is a link to Pederson’s Whole30 Approved Bacon at The Simple Grocer. I haven’t purchased from this website, but the prices are reasonable, and they have kielbasa, sausage and Italian sausage which are all Whole30-approved. Score!
That was supposed to be kielbasa, hot dogs and Italian sausage.
