It really would do no good for me to post all of the foods I am intolerant of. Each person is different. Besides, I have over 80 that were identified (it included broccoli and chicken and cucumbers), and you may be reacting to foods that are safe for me... If you cannot do testing, then I would recommend following some type of elimination diet to see if your symptoms are food-related. Food intolerances for me show up as rashes on the skin, but some people get joint/muscle pain, headaches, etc. If you google 'how to do an elimination diet', there are many resources out there. Here is one that I found as an example: http://www.foodintol.com/eliminationdiet.asp
In the meantime, you should try cutting out some foods associated with common food intolerances, like yeast, gluten, nuts, fructose, and dairy to see if your symptoms improve. Also, for this disease, I believe it is important to not eat sugar and eat organic, whole foods. Throw away your processed foods...
I hope this helps! |
