I decided to send off a sample of my hair for a food intolerance test. Here are the results:
Acute Reaction
==============
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Avocado
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Braeburn apple
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (cooked) -> Prunes
Food Sensitivities -> Nuts -> Pine nuts
Food Sensitivities -> Spices -> Pepper (black)
Food Sensitivities -> Sweetners -> Sugar, brown (natural)
Food Sensitivities -> Vegetables -> Endive
Food Sensitivities -> Vegetables -> Kale
Intermediate Reaction
===================
Food Sensitivities -> Cereal or Grain Products -> Wheat
Food Sensitivities -> Cereal or Grain Products -> Wheat, ground
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Boiled milk
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Buttermilk
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Egg yolk
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Feta
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Goats milk
Food Sensitivities -> Dairy & Animal Products -> Greek Yoghurt
Food Sensitivities -> Drinks -> Oolong tea
Food Sensitivities -> Drinks -> Orange Juice
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Cherries
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Figs
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Passionfruit
Food Sensitivities -> Fruit (Raw) -> Pink lady apple
Food Sensitivities -> Meat -> Liver (pig)
Food Sensitivities -> Nuts -> Pistachio
Food Sensitivities -> Sea food/Fish -> Red bass
Food Sensitivities -> Sea food/Fish -> Shellfish
Food Sensitivities -> Spices -> Cilantro (Coriander)
Food Sensitivities -> Vegetables -> Portobello mushroom
Food Sensitivities -> Vegetables -> Turnip
The acute reactions are the really bad ones and the intermediate ones are less bad. For most people, just cutting down on the intermediate ones would be fine, but I am attempting to remove all potential sources of inflammation in my body and create the perfect diet.
A lot of these are fine because I am vegan, but I am upset by a few of them. I absolutely love Portobello mushrooms and pistachio nuts. Oolong tea is also one of my favourite drinks, and I am devastated about avocados!
I knew about a few of these but was surprised by quite a few more. The site recommends trying something for six weeks and seeing how you feel so I will keep you updated on my new diet!
