I am just a human sharing my experience with this protocol. Welcome back!I've been beaning for 720 days! That's enough beans to fill an olympic size swimming pool! New here? Click below to start at the beginning. As usual, I have a lot to share.Last mitosis, I promised to write about MCAS in this installment. But, then I realized it may be too much so I made it a post of its own. If you have a lot of food sensitivities, weird symptoms, and no protocol seems to help, you may have MCAS. You can read about it here. On to some big news: I'm taking a break from beans.I've been on the bean protocol for almost 2 years now and I've had some amazing improvements. But, those were mostly in the beginning. So many things have gone downhill and keep sinking more and more. So, towards the end of this mitosis, I just stopped eating beans. In the back of my mind I had been wondering if a bean break was the right move. Ultimately, my body told me no more beans for now. I'm not be done with beans forever.I feel like right now, the fiber is not doing my struggling gut any favors. My gut is begging for a break. I'm also starting a healing program with a naturopath. I finally have the funds to test everything. I'm planning on making posts about that process to pick up where the beans have left off. So check for those in the future. I'm thinking they'll be posted every 3 months like I've been doing with the bean posts. I'm excited to work with this new doctor. She explained my blood sugar crashes! You know how stress spikes your cortisol but chronic stress can actually drop your cortisol levels?Well, our bodies need cortisol to act as a cushion to prevent blood sugar crashes. 🤯 So, that's probably why I'm struggling so freaking hard on digestive enzymes. And, why any little bit of sugar leads to a crash. I LOVE when things make sense. So many weird things go on with my body and I've always known there was a reason (or many) as to why, but never made much progress toward those answers. So, to hear something like that gives me hope that I'm not such a dire case after all and that with some small changes, I have a chance at getting better. Anyway, let's move on.
With this mitosis, I found my new favorite thing in the whole wide world.

Moral of the story, if you can't poop, consider digestive enzymes. Struggling without the sweets on The Bean Protocol?Maybe this little gem can help you out. I know we aren't supposed to be hitting up corn much on The Bean Protocol but I've been enjoying this little number after dinner here and there. It requires a few simple ingredients and it just might change your life. Spiced Almond Butter Popcorn
All you need to do is drizzle your popped popcorn with almond butter and sprinkle on a light amount of allspice and voilà! I feel like I'm telling you how to microwave bacon.
Corn is naturally sweet, the almond butter adds some savory, and the allspice gives me that hint of cinnamon that I miss so much since starting TBP. Enjoy!
