Food intolerances

Food sensitivities and “allergies” are more appropriately labeled intolerances. MP patients have reported an exacerbation symptoms to a variety of offending foods. Common culprits include food and drink containing:

• soy
• vitamin D
• chlorogenic acidAn antioxidant and phenolic compound which in ways that are not yet fully clear can modulate and/or suppress the immune response
• food coloring
• alcohol, although this may be due to other ingredients such as grains in the alcoholic drinks
• certain carbohydrates such as breads, cereals or pasta

To troubleshoot a food intolerance, consider a rotation diet. Some patients have claimed symptomatic improvement with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

My food “allergies” have lessened with time. When I react to a food now (I'm in phase 3 MP), I may get sick, but can function.

Since starting the MP my tolerance for fruits and vegetables is down to almost zero. At first I still tried to eat a few different things in the name of 'variety', but after the stomach pains, nausea and diarhea, I decided that I didn't care what anyone's opinion of “healthy eating” is. So now I only eat what my body agrees with and I'm doing fine.
