I discovered Lyn-Genet Recitas' The Plan and have been discovering my trigger foods now for one week. I have yet to start My Plan as I am weeding out the reactive foods from my diet. One year ago, I switched to a vegan lifestyle to lower my cholesterol. Although my lab results improved some, my weight sky-rocketed. I went from eating over 3000 calories per day and weighing 108 lbs @ 5 ft 4 in to eating < 1000 cal/day and weighing 127 lbs - this transformation did not take long to occur. My young adult acne flared up and an old knee injury began to hurt again (I had been pain free prior to my switch). I NEVER realized that the culprits were the so-called healthy foods that were being recommended to everyone.
Along the way to my recent discovery, I found I am HIGHLY reactive to store bought nut milks due to the thickening agents in them (acacia gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, etc). I am also terribly reactive to raw garlic, raw onions (the green spring onions), cucumbers and green peppers.
One thing that helps is to try out your favorite food and see how you feel IMMEDIATELY after its intake and then if bloating, gas occurs a few hours later, as the food travels to the intestines. If the food made your nose run, made you sleepy, foggy-brained, tired, want to take a nap, then leave it out of your regimen. Proper nourishment should fortify us, not sedate us!!
Anyhow, hope this bit helps.
