🎬 All the details of the days ingredients, tips, tricks, how tos and the occasional cute doggie are in my daily video…🐶🛒👩🏻‍🍳

🍒 Tracking – Calories only – Calorie Command in @iTrackBites

🍽️ 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.

HISTAMINE SCALE
🟢 – contains only Lvl 0️⃣ histamine foods
🟡 – contains some Lvl 1️⃣ histamine foods
🟠 – contains some Lvl 2️⃣ histamine foods
🔴- contains some Lvl 3️⃣ histamine foods

REACTIVITY SCALE
👍🏻 – no reaction
🤧 – itchy eyes, sniffles, glassy mouth (hayfever type)
🔥 – above + hands/feet burning, gut issues, eye/inner ear swelling, muscle spasms esp back / neck
🚨 – above + BP / heart rate / breathing issues, sudden onset headache, muscle weakness

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 – It is a great place to start.

🍓 FOOD INTOLERANCE APP (look for the strawberry)
I just discovered this app and it is more than worth the $6.99 – it is a more updated version of the PDF list above. It contains more information than you can shake a stick at.

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. The basic color system (low/med/high) rating is free but if you want actual numbers, it is also $6.99

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.
