I have racked my brain for a way to substitute my favorite comfort foods. Replacing grilled cheese and tomato soup, other soups, bread, toast, ice cream, chocolates, hamburgers with buns, yogurt with fruit and granola, pizza, etc. with basically beef, chicken, fish, eggs, almond milk, garlic, almonds, stevia, and green beans is no easy task. I did make a soup with chicken, organic broth, 1 clove of garlic, black beans, and a pinch if thyme and basil. It was actually pretty good, and no itches! I also made my version of Nutella with almond butter, cocoa powder, and stevia.
As I reflected on why comfort food is so important, a thought came over me. God should be my comfort, not food. Maybe that is the biggest lesson I can take from this weird food sensitivity. So, instead of calling my favorite eats comfort foods, I will try to just add some variety to my diet. When I feel stressed, sad, or down, I will have a conversation with the Lord for my comfort.
