That kid is back on the escalator again!

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: May 16, 2008

My job is often full of inappropriate people, but then a lot of jobs are. A lot of times it can actually feel like I’m babysitting a bunch of rude children, only I’m not really paying all that much attention to what they spend all day doing. I’ve been chided more than once for taking [...]

I wish I really knew what I was talking about when it came to nutrition, but I don’t. I only know that I constantly stride the balance between a biologically driven disaster waiting to happen and someone who learns from experience. I think that’s what most of us are. How much we learn varies. How [...]

A little lost

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: March 8, 2008

I haven’t been able to stick to 1200 calories. Its easy enough on regular days, but I need a rest day (from the gym) once in a while and its impossible to eat so little then. I have upped myself to 1400. I am hoping that with heavy activity the caloric deficit will average itself [...]

What I learned from working in organic grocery

“I confess that I have been as blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.” – Sherlock Holmes, ‘The Adventure of the Man with the Twisted Lip’
I worked in grocery for around five years before I discovered the accommodating and relatively high-paying (until I [...]

The adventure of the very strange solution

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: February 17, 2008

This is what happens when one does not keep up with one’s blog. When one’s notes are strewn all over the place, in journals and notepads and one’s daily plate. I will attempt to recreate the best I can the events of the past few weeks.
I passed on the nutritionist’s request for hydrogen breath tests [...]

Day three – morning

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 14, 2008

I lost 2.6 lbs overnight. Clearly water. This is great. Before the elimination diet, I went on kind of a binge, one that my nutritionist referred to as my “own personal fat Tuesday.” It lasted about a week and a half. I was shocked to see that from that little splurge i gained five pounds. [...]

Day Two

Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 14, 2008

Turkey is being saved for tomorrow’s lunch. I did taste it though. Husband baked it with organic cold pressed olive oil and the poultry mix of herbs from Whole Foods. It was really good but had a strange texture. Dinner was steamed kale and salmon. There is jasmati rice for tomorrow. I think I’m going [...]


A Year Without Cake

A blog about Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO/SBBO) written from a patient's perspective. Definitely not a definitive medical guide. Please do not read this blog as medical advice but rather experiential info from a well-researched, but often super-brain-fogged patient.


  • candacevan: I learn something new every day. I'd never heard of defecation syncope, and so of course I read up on it. It seems to be one of the "reflex-mediated s
  • Nikki: Girrlock Holmes, Hi I was just wondering if you could help. I have been experiencing severe abdominal pain after eating, bloating on an empty stomac
  • Girrlock Holmes: At least for a few weeks; if it doesn't work I wanna eat salami and rasberries with you in a cabin in the woods in the mountains. xo
