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!

How about we make next month a health and wellbeing month?
You know what would be good for you right now… For example, is it:
- ditching the processed/ junk “food” and drink ?
- eating more vegetables? Cooked or raw?
- eating more fruit?
- drinking more water?
- getting some more sleep?

Reblogging this so I can look at it when I’m having a bad day!
Perspective.

This appears earlier on my blog. It makes me smile and I love it and so I have re -blogged it again ..I see some wonderful and inspiring things on my Tumblr dash but, sadly, I also see so much pain too, so many people disliking themselves, chastising themselves, even hating and harming themselves in so many ways ..
You are all unique, gorgeous and talented …This is unconditional and is definitely not dependent on how you look or what you eat or how much you exercise or indeed what you don’t eat. …
Please look in your mirror and love and appreciate yourself a little more each day..Please give that underused self esteem a big hug … you are so worth it …
Sending much love, good health and happiness to all my followers. The Reluctant Raw Foodist xxxx
