#glutenfree #dairyfree #soyfree #NightshadeFree #GrainFree If you suddenly feel bewildered as to what to eat grab a piece of paper/pen and do an inventory of everything in your kitchen that are 'clean' foods.
By 'clean' I of course mean foods that DO NOT cause you inflammation, pain, gut discomfort, constipation, headaches, diarrhea, brain fog, mood swings, outburst of anger, etc. Which foods trigger us can be different for everyone, but those foods usually fall within one of these groups:
gluten
dairy
nightshades
soy
grain
It does not matter WHY at the time of making the decision of what to choose to eat. Simply avoid what bothers you in a negative way. Not knowing the why is not reason to eat this food and suffer. You can always talk with your doctor and your next office visit about your concerns, in the meantime, avoiding certain foods will not harm your health so long as you have an overall healthy diet.
Black pepper, for instance, is not a nightshade and yet many people who avoid nightshades have a problem with black pepper.
There are many, many that claim grains cause chronic constipation. I am one of them. While everyone is claiming the virtues of eating whole grains to keep you 'regular' it just might not be true for all of us. I was chronically constipated for years and when I finally gave in and tried omitting all grains 100% I suddenly became regular. It was heaven!
Grains:
Oats, corn, rice, wheat; and so this means most breads, cereals and the like.
Back to the original post: if you do an inventory of your kitchen - the cupboards, freezer, refrigerator most people realize they have lots of foods they can eat today, right now. But, if you find very little then it might be time to get more serious about your grocery shopping.
