🍽️ GOAL – 4 salad plate meals (no regular big plates, no OMAD [one meal a day] ) – smaller meals to reduce the amount of histamine triggers consumed at one time and limit reactivity during the reintroduction trial phases.

If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.

FOOD LIST I WILL BE USING
This is a free PDF list but has not been updated since 2016 – I just downloaded and started using the app below and am so thrilled with it.

FOOD INTOLERANCE APP
I just discovered this app and it is more than worth the $6.99 (Android) – it is a more updated version of the PDF list above. Google Play gives you 48hrs to request a refund if you don’t like it.

OXALATE APP I AM USING
Oxalates are tricky. There are several lists out there, many in direct conflict with each other. Some of them are lists of things that were tested more than 40 years ago and it can be extremely difficult to find accurate information.

The best option I have found is from the same developers as the Histamine app. It is an Apple only app but it looks like it is going to be very helpful.

OXALATE FACEBOOK GROUP
I recently found this group on Facebook specifically for oxalates. They are developing their own list in spreadsheet form. They are having individual foods tested and those results are added to the list directly. This makes it the most accurate information available.

However they have specified that this information is not to be reproduced or shared outside of the group and since it is such a large group, you need to be sure to follow the rules and read the HUGE amount of information created. If you want to be very accurate and clear about the oxalate levels in foods, I would recommend that you join this group.

MY TOP 3 WORST INFLAMMATION TRIGGERS
These are not the same for everyone and in 90% of people they don’t trigger a reaction – but if you are constantly dealing with being bloated, headaches, muscle or joint pain or digestive distress – they may be worth considering as potential inflammation triggers.
