+
+My body is very sensitive in almost every way, including digestion. I've done reverse elimination diets to fine tune what I eat in order to ensure I avoid ailments as simple as bloating and as excruciating as migraines and night terrors.
+
+Basically, if you can feed it to both a rabbit and a dog, then I can probably have it. If it's unsafe for either of those, then I likely avoid it for my own reasons.
+
+Typically I don't accept food or food items from anyone, even trusted friends. This is more just to explain the why's of what I do.
+
+It's also important to note that I practice conscious food combining, otherwise that causes another list of issues. More [here](/posts/blog/cooking/#simplicity--food-combining).
+
+## High Reactivity
+
+I flat out refuse to consume anything which includes even a portion of these.
+
+- Alliums (onion, garlic, even shallots / scallions / chives) {{% show %}}
+  - Headaches and night sweats to migraines and night terrors.
+  - Horrible body odor, although most people experience this.
+  - Digestive and body pains, bloating, mental fog, etc. {{% /show %}}
+- Grapes {{% show %}}
+  - Digestive distress. We'll leave it at that. :) {{% /show %}}
+- Tropical Nuts (cashews, brazil nuts, etc) {{% show %}}
+  - Body pains, fatigue, digestive distress. {{% /show %}}
+- Caffeine {{% show %}}
+  - Sweating, hyperstimulation, severe weight loss. {{% /show %}}
+- Drugs & Alcohol
+  - I prefer to stay present and improve my reality rather than escape.
+  - These also tend to come with side affects such as mental fog and emotional suppression, some are highly carcinogenic, plus they're relatively expensive.
+
+## Moderate Reactivity
+
+I do not buy these, and will typically avoid a dish with these, rarely even choosing to pick them out of a dish.
+
+- Nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, tobacco, datura, etc) {{% show %}}
+  - Mucous for days. Digestive ailments and bloating. Mental fog.
+  - When cooked at very high temperatures over 400F, like a deep fryer, then these symptoms can go away, but then the oil causes other suffering.{{% /show %}}
+- Fatty Substances like Nuts & Seeds{{% show %}}
+  - Fatigue, lethargy, bloating, general body discomfort (inflammation).{{% /show %}}
+  - Avocados, almonds, pecans, and walnuts can be okay.
+- Oil (Yes, even Extra Virgin Olive or Coconut)
+  - Inflammation, bloating, multi-day fatigue, acne, etc.
+  - It's a horrendously processed food!! NOT a health food!
+
+## Low Reactivity
+
+I typically prefer to avoid these and am likely to turn down food containing them, but if they can be picked out, then it may be acceptable.
+
+- Cinnamon and other pesticidal seasonings.
+  - Usually cause body sweats, fatigue, overheating, etc.
+- Roots.
+  - Typically digest poorly causing bloating and fatigue.
+  - Some are okay, but it's easier for me to just avoid them.
+- Citrus
+  - General discomfort, digestive ailments.
+  - Will I sometimes cook with a lemon? Sure.
+  - No more orange or grapefruit feasts though.
