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!

Fruit cup….fresh fruit, sparkling water, fresh mint with sometimes a little added coconut water makes a party drink for me and all the kids at any party. Care with high histamine fruits if you have any children affected.. Great for athletes who do not want to ruin their fitness regime with party alcohol and anyone driving too!

Diet change?

How about you eat just one more portion of fruit and a portion of vegetables every day from today. How hard is that? Try them raw. There are a lot to choose from on this blog.

That will be 14 extra portions of fruit and vegetables a week.

Soon adds up!

Green smoothie made with a whole bag of mixed leaves, 2 fresh figs, a banana, and some water. It made 2 glasses.

I liked this as I see a lot of people on my dash worrying about what they look like. Please take care, good people. In the end, good health is the key that unlocks so many doors x
