"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!

Fresh herbs are best !

I love herbs !

These look lovely. Do make sure you recognise what you are eating. A few plants are toxic :)
If you really want to be the envy of your locavore friends, tell them you sourced dinner from a ditch or gully. While not every weed is an epicurean delight, plenty of free-range flora can be used to prepare recipes that won’t taste like dirty dishwater. Mother Nature’s pantry will provide, if you know where to look.

Herbs always brighten up a place :)
We planted a pot with some aromatic herbs on the weekend. (And just some flowers to liven it up a bit)
Basil, Thyme, Rosemary…organic and fresh from our own “garden”! You can do the same on a windowsill, balcony, anywhere. I will show you how in a few days.

Fresh herbs. Yum!
