Yes. After my one data point today I can say yet. After months of dreaming of pizza while on my strict strict diet and months of living in a world of "No"s today I decided I am going to break the rules and have some pizza. First I had to suffer through the longest car ride ever from the store back to my home with the smells of pizza wafting around my car. But I had the will power to wait. I wanted this moment to be perfect. I got in my PJs, I got an Olipop root beer, I queued up a movie, sat on my couch and had the most blissful moment as that glorious cheesy slice touched my lips. Not going to lie, my eyes got a bit moist from this moment. Oh it was great. Time will yet tell if it kills me or not. But I am hopeful. So yes Pizza is the magical answer to all of life's problems.. not really, but today it helped me in a weirdly big way. Just to feel a bit more in control on what I can and can't do and to have some nostalgia of better times sweep over me while chewing on my long lost comfort of Little Caesars pizza.

Some health context, I am beginning to wonder if Hashimotos is my main issue. I have no doubt it is making everything worse and harder, but as I learn more and get more data back from labs I think my low iron might be the bigger cause to all of my current issues of fatigue and brain fog. This is part of why I allowed myself to take this risk of eating gluten and dairy. If iron is the main issue then the pizza shouldn't hurt too bad. I also wanted this as a data point before I go on my week long work trip to NYC in a month. Depending on how crappy I feel tomorrow will help me know how careful I actually need to be with my diet while on my trip away from my wife and her perfectly crafted kitchen of health. I also used my Food Marble to take data points before, right after and on the hour for a few hours afterwards to see how my body reacted to it. So far the results are promising. My gases went up, but then dropped back down. I think that is good, tbh idk. I need to ask my AI doc.
