100 Days of Starch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last nine days have been brutal \u2014 daily panic attacks or anxiety spells, whatever label fits best. It\u2019s been relentless. This week I ended up in the ER for suspected appendicitis. Two CT scans later, one at a hospital and one at an urgent care, they ruled out kidney stones too. Physically fine, supposedly, but something still feels way off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then this morning, I woke up with the cough<\/em>. That weird signal my body sends before anything else hits \u2014 before the anxiety, the GI distress \u2014 I start coughing. It\u2019s like a strange early warning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desperate for something grounding, I made a coffee and opened YouTube. That\u2019s when a SpudFit video popped up. If you\u2019re not familiar, it\u2019s about eating only potatoes (or starchy foods) for 100 days to reset the body and mind. And it hit me \u2014 what if I tried something like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can handle starch. In fact, I digest it really well (maybe too well sometimes). What if I went all in? Starch only for 100 days. Could that help settle my gut, my nervous system \u2014 everything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fat is a hard no now. That\u2019s become non-negotiable. My system just can\u2019t process it anymore. It burns straight through me \u2014 I can literally feel it wrecking my colon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I\u2019ve been throwing everything at the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
