The Reluctant Raw Foodist

Are you what you eat?

"I used to be a' foodie' and now I am a "foodist'"

Welcome to my health and wellbeing blog.

I’m not a raw foodist by choice. I was recently diagnosed as having a complicated autoimmune condition including severe Histamine Intolerance and a form of reactive arthritis. I have become hypersensitive to high histamine foods, pollen, dust and some everyday chemicals. My condition affects every area of my life.

I have Mast Cell Activation Disease (MCAD).

I was prescribed a low histamine diet and then a raw food diet to ease my symptoms and over the past 2 years I have overcome my reluctance to a new way of eating and living. I have been experimenting to combine the two diets and I have been learning how to eat a diet comprising mainly of low histamine raw fruit and vegetables and how to change the habits of a life time.

I am starting to feel healthier than I have ever been before. I have also lost 35 lbs in weight.

I will be sharing with you how I got here and I'll be exploring low histamine raw recipes, natural beauty products, how to cope with being "allergic to everything" and generally how to regain health and fitness and live life to the full despite my unusual condition!

Please feel free to message me with any suggestions, questions, or comments. I'd love to hear from you!

Banana like this tastes really sweet. I don’t use oil and I make mine in the dehydrator but these look good !  youcanandyouwill: prettybalanced: Cinnamon Baked Banana Chips INGREDIENTS 2 bananas, peeled  1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 TBS cinnamon (optional) Cooking spray (optional)  INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 200°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut bananas into 1/4” slices. Dip them in lemon juice, then place on a prepared baking sheet. If you’re using cinnamon, sprinkle some on.  Bake, turning over once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 hours. Tip: For a savory treat, sprinkle the banana slices with sea salt before baking. Or sweeten them with a drizzle of honey after the bake.
