The Reluctant Raw Foodist
"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!

Some literal interpretations of this cute little saying. c: Can you believe today is the 1 year anniversary of my first post? I didn’t follow anyone or anything until later though because I was too shy. xD;;
here is the recipe - see earlier post The Reluctant Raw Foodist
Yum yum yum!! Juicing doesn’t have to be boring. I fell of the wagon this week - ate far too much honey and raw chocolate (which in my case means a few too many squares!) and I’m now paying the price. I thought I’d given up my little mad jaunts but it’s good to remind myself, once in a while, what…

Recipe Peach Delish (see last photo)
I blitzed (using food processor) a handful of almonds and a few (maybe 6) walnut halves with some coconut manna and a splash of coconut water and and then put it into a flat glass dish and flattened into a base.
I put the dish in the fridge for acouple of hours and then added the peaches (I used 2).
I served with my banana Ice cream
It is sweet enough I think but you could add 2 medjool dates to the base for extra sweetness.
