Here’s the thing, me and the Whole30 diet didn’t always see eye to eye. I had my slip ups (wine), and days where I couldn’t say “no” to a piece of cheese. It’s cheese for crying out loud!! BUT, for the 20 days I was on the wagon, I felt GREAT. Never one to believe the hype about elimination diets, I’m really glad I bit that bullet, and gave it a college try.

But the thing is, it shouldn’t have shocked me so bad that it worked, because I’ve had to go through elimination diets with Huck!! Yes, even my dog has had to deal with these before!

Being the squishy adorable, bumbly, love he is – he’s still a medical disaster. At one he was diagnosed with hip displaysia and a torn ACL. At three he was diagnosed with a laundry list of allergies so long it practically had to be rolled out along the floor to cover them all! It’s heartbreaking to watch everything your dog touches, eats or exists in make him itch, hurt, and cry. No joke! So we had to make some changes. We went grain free. 

Now that’s not to say I’m hardcore grain free right now, there are things I have been able to roll back up into my diet that haven’t had negative effects, but after my roll with Whole30, I am comfortable cutting out a significant portion of those things that I realized caused me issues. Thanks be to the higher powers that cheese isn’t one of them!

But for Huck, we tried and tried with new foods, pills, and everything and now with the right combination of meds and food, he’s happy, healthy, and itch free! When he would fall over because he was itching so hard, let me tell you – heart torn out.
