Food intolerances & sensitivities

JT

I seem to suffer from a lot of these, do you? Is this common in ASC?

I can't eat gluten, dairy, eggs, onions, anything spicey, mustard, and nuts & other fibre scratch my insides so it flares up inflammation in my intestine (IBD).

I was only diagnosed with ASC this year, but was curious if these issues with digestion I've had since 2012 were common for those on the spectrum?

  • I’ve had a tough time with food sensitivities too, especially with dairy. I switched to organic milk powder, and it made a big difference for me. Regular milk was too harsh on my stomach, but this option is much gentler. It also mixes well into drinks and recipes, so I don’t feel like I'm missing out. It might be worth trying if dairy is a struggle but you still want an alternative.

    I've never found help. But I have a regiment of supplements & I have stopped eating all brassicas, grains and legumes (basically modern agriculture). What doesn't cause problems is a 'diet' resembling Paleo, but I don't cut out whole organic milk/butter/yogurt or any fruits.  I bought a book on the ancient diet to make sure I properly soak and dehydrate nuts/seeds

    I'm a fan of moderation, and have found Ape Nutrition vitamins amazing, some chlorella, functional mushrooms (though fresh fried in butter also excellent) and herbal hormone balancing supplements which work for me + added C helpful (I eat plenty of fresh fruit as well). Napier's makes a nice elderberry elixir. 

    The standing Idea out there is to slowly introduce a thing in small amounts, go from zero to build tolerance. But my experience has been the opposite direction. Slowly remove things I can no longer tolerate. Though I've had problems with grains since young. I did go off sugars for a while which helped but I like honey too much. One also has to make sure they move about and exercise a little every day even if it's a bit of stretching.
