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.
