How can the elimination diet become successful?
Tip no. 1: Do not compare lists with each other!
There are so many different lists on the net that all say something else. This confused and leaves those affected completely overwhelmed.
Did you know that many Lists are just a compilation of experiences of individual and not scientific studies? Many foods classified as "evil" were only based on one Individual case picked up on the lists (e.g. the avocado). We could also find that Many lists no longer up to date are and completely ignore the latest research results.
That is why we have a histamine intolerance for those affected A separate list compiled. From the basic core she is based on the Sighi list, but we have our list sound research results as well as Nutritional knowledge adapted and thus developed further. Our list only includes food. For additives and medication we therefore refer to the Sighi (Swiss interest group for histamine intolerance) website.
Tip no. 2: Food containing histamine is not "bad"
Due to the histamine intolerance there are many foods you have currently not tolerated. But these foods are therefore Not "bad" or bad. Tomatoes, bananas, spinach, avocados etc. contain many good nutrients that give the body many important vitamins, minerals and enzymes. If these foods are considered something terrible and terrible, then the brain saves this information And the body is always in any way react negatively.
Better keep your attitude that these foods are not bad, but you just can't eat them at the moment.
Tip no. 3: Stand on a healthy and balanced diet
Take your diet list and eat everyone first "Green" marked food. Do without In the first few weeks Dairy products and a too high protein -rich food. Your diet should initially mainly Fresh vegetables and fresh fruit consist.
Pay attention to it No finished products or canned goods, Kto use a fermented or inserted, long -mature and long -stored food. Start with everything Freshly cooking and to be used up quickly. If you get along well with all "green" foods, you are looking for yourself A yellow food per week from the fact that you add to your menu. Pay attention to your body whether he tolerates the food or not.
Do you tolerate the new food? Then congratulations, you can now add this food to your menu. Every week you introduce another yellow food And tests it for compatibility. Bit by bit you create your individual menu.
Tip no. 4: What to do if you suddenly tolerate almost nothing more
I always have times through times when I couldn't take anything anymore. It didn't matter what I had eaten - even strictly histamine low - I always had a bloated stomach, constipation and violent intestinal cramps, and even fainting attacks during bowel movements. So I know exactly how you feel.
If you feel the same way, then think of them both rule of thumbn that we initially explained.
First find out if your Stress memory is full or your histamine and inflammation case are full And thus the intestine is more poisoned or whether both are true.
Is your Stress memory Full, then take a look at ours Tip No. 5 to.
Is your Histamine and inflammatory barrel full, it's best to do one "Cure “with predominantly fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. With very bad intolerance you catch with you freshly squeezed vegetable juices (Carot juice) (in extreme cases half water, half juice). Do without at this time Dairy products, gluten and white flour products. Also make sure not only to eat protein mostly. Research has shown that a high protein -rich diet causes the histamine level to rise. So always eat a balanced diet. If you do this "cure", you will see that you will soon be better and that you can tolerate more.
Tip no. 5: Take your time for you. Empty your stress memory.
It is important that you take time for yourself. Do something regularly that makes you happy. Enjoy this time and don't let you take away. As I said, it is Stress a histamine liberator And can release large amounts of histamine. Sit and other borders, do some sport (if possible), integrate relaxation and breathing exercises into your everyday life, process untidy emotions and enjoy your life again and again in between.
Get help if you can't make it alone. I have already achieved great success with coaching.
Tip no. 6: get to know your body
Stand with your body and study it. Don't wait for your doctor, naturopath, nutritionist or gastroenterologist to do this for you. You are responsible for your health yourself. I dealt intensively with my body. I now know which food I cannot tolerate because I "feel" them all the time in my digestive tract. I also know which food combinations do not do me good personally. If I have a headache, I can distinguish whether it is a detoxification headache or whether it comes from histamine intolerance. If I have a lot of stains on my face again and I have a low -histamine, I know that my stressful memory is full. II dealt with my body and started to understand his language.
So I would like to encourage you to deal with your body. Find the following about you:
- How do the digestive processes work in your body?
- Which groceries can your intestine tolerate better or worse at the times of the day?
- Which food combinations are not compatible for you?
- Which foods may you tolerate great, even though you are on the red or yellow list?
- Which organ is your weak organ in the body and needs special attention from you?
When you start with yours To employ bodies, you will also be able to classify your symptoms better. You then know whether it is a detoxification or poisoning, there is an intolerance or whether you just have too much stress.
We at Histaminikus wish you all the best on your trip to a healthy lifestyle and that the elimination diet will be a success for you. From our own experience, we know that healthy eating is a first step towards well -being despite histamine intolerance.
