My daily nom noms.

Okay!

Now to try to explain my super confusing diet that i certainly don't totally even understand myself..

So i started first ignoring all of my food that my blood panel told me i was a allergic to. Now let me impress you with my allergies... (level 1=less severe, level 2=hives, throat swells, level 3=anaphylactic shock, severe stomach pain etc.)

Level 1:

Brussel Sprouts

Blue Cheese

Cherry

Ginseng

Licorice

Lime

Millet

Nutmeg

Parsley

Pecan

Red Pepper

Pecan

Pumpkin

Radish

Tumeric

Turnip

Vanilla Bean

Almond

Asparagus 

Barley

Carrot

Cauliflower 

Swiss Cheese

Cocoa

Crab

Egg Yolk

Gluten

Cows Milk

Oats

Green Olives

Oranges

Peanut

Rye

Shrimp

Black Walnuts

Wheat

Yogurt 

Level 2:

Cranberry

Goats Milk 

Malt

Level 3:

Casein

Whey

Bakers Yeast

Brewers Yeast

TA DA! Look at them apples... now lets add in my other dietary restrictions.

I also followed a Dr.Feingold's diet for four weeks following my diagnosis to calm my stomach from all possible irritants. (i also briefly avoided FODMAP foods but since they were all already on my other lists is seems pointless to mention it) So there goes:

Artificial food coloring

Artificial food flavoring 

Many others (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feingold_diet )

So basically all the delicious foods in the world haha.

Currently i follow a Paleo diet and i add some of my other diets ideas in there too.

So for me i avoid all:

Gluten

Dairy (casein, whey)

Wheat 

Yeast (bakers and brewers)

Grains (oats, rice)

Red Meat

Added sugars, flavorings or colors

Nightshades

Corn & Beans

So basically i live on a steady diet of eggs, turkey burgers, jack daniel's honey BBQ sauce, chicken, salad and sweet potatoes. Now i found certain cookbooks to be a HUGE help in finding what to eat. I LOVE the Practical Paleo book. It goes into great detail about which certain foods and activities can be avoided to help your particular situation. 

I do occasionally do cheat by eating gluten free bread (contains brown rice flour) or frozen yogurt. They don't hurt my stomach but i do notice an immediate gain in weight or stomach bloating. 

Please if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line :)
