Chemo is weird… things hurt my stomach sometimes with rhyme or reason. Some days I’m just in bed most of the day… I’m awake, just horizontal. Luckily my kids are older and this is just life right now. To help avoid all of this from happening, I’ve started on a new food journey. I started in November 2024. (It’s called Trim Healthy Mama if you want to look into it.) This journey has completely changed my life. It took me from eating anything and everything, that was killing my stomach, and cut out sugars and gluten… and now my bad days are MUCH MUCH less. I LIVED on zofran, taken at least twice daily, and now I barely take it at all.

Yesterday, was a bad day… I was on plan but my stomach was just upset all day. I took 2 nausea pills and while they kept me from getting sick, they didn’t take away the stomach yucks. I had no idea what was going on. From bed, I sent a message to my THM coach and told her about my food for the day and plans for food tomorrow (as is my routine) and she reminded me that 2 of the foods I’d eaten, which considered a personal choice food, contain gluten. YUCK! Soooooo, now that I’m down this homesteading journey… and cooking things from scratch… I looked at what we are having tomorrow for dinner and decided to make my own noodles.

I used an on plan flour which makes them perfect for this meal tomorrow. I put them in the fridge rolled like this but tomorrow before I cook them, I will cut them into shorter pieces. They are a little thick, and a little wide, but I think they are perfect! If they taste perfect, I’ll share the recipe tomorrow!
