My body is very sensitive in almost every way, including digestion. I've fine tuned 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. It's also important to note that I practice conscious food combining, otherwise that causes another list of issues. {{% hide %}}More here.{{% /hide %}}
High Reactivity
I flat out refuse to eat any meal which included even a portion of these plant families.

- 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 pick them out of a dish if possible.
- 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.
- 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.
