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!

One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again.

People fail before they succeed……

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.

So true.. If you never try you never know if you can do it. I have failed at a lot of things in life but I have had fun trying and learned loads. If things don’t work out, change what you can, remodel, retry and or chalk it up to experience and move on. Then of course there are the successes……:)

We only do (minor!) “set backs” round here we don’t do the F word! :))  Let’s agree to pick ourselves up and keep going.

It’s not failure unless you quit.

We all know JK Rowling was rejected 12 times before going on to be published by a small publishing house and told to keep her day job. Huge failures are common on the road to success, but they aren’t the end of the…

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.
