I again added chickpeas to my morning snack and with the salad. They go really well with the salad, and aren’t bad at all with the morning snack.

A few seasonings sprinkled on top vary the flavors.

My intestines seem to be getting used to it and doing better.

The pain in my right shoulder blade came back this evening and the spasm went up into my neck. I ended up walking around stopped over with my neck all scrunched up.

I used to get torticollis there pretty regularly. This detox must be dredging out the toxins in that area.

Later:

Guess I was wrong about my intestines getting used to the chickpeas. Groan. Things were quite explosive very late into the night. I think it was too soon. I should have at least waited until dinner to add the chickpeas… or waited another day. (I’ve since learned that the best food for my morning snack is fruit.)
