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!

I had to share this…higher consiousness knows how true this is.

Real talk.

The only people who can change this is us. My GP reckons she got 3 hours teaching about diet in the whole of her 5 years + of training to be a doctor and yet food is what we “do” to our bodies every day. How can the food we eat not play a part?

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

When I saw this quote, I immediately thought of tumblr. xD;; So we don’t all bump into each other and become friends, but there’s something cool about knowing that there’s people out there who are going through the same things you are and who like the same things you like.
