I have a bad sweet tooth, love my snacks! But, certain foods I know not to touch.
What is on your “Don’t eat That” list?

A long list….lol..where shall I start? Lol. Nothing that is not natural grown is the stay away list but once in a while I would take a bite of the forbidden too. We are human after all! Gratification for a second then consequences ? I’m very close going to a liquid diet unfortunately due to condition. ☹️

Raw vegetables, nuts, corn, popcorn, steak- anything hard to digest for the most part.

I have IBS and two of my triggers are leafy greens and caffeine…but I love salads and coffee! I limit myself salad to once a week and just one cup of coffee a day. Other things are easier to stay away from like wheat bran, fried food, beans, etc.

I just learned that having anxiety causes increased stomach acid! Primary care doctor was the first to tell me this and no psychology book ever has! Anyways I have to take Prilosec 40mg once a day or just breathing is an acid chest fireball. I avoid acidic foods like tomatoes, oranges, lemons and limes(all the yummy stuff) and greasy foods as well. I will however suffer for chocolate and my iced coffee(anti anxiety medicine makes me so sleepy! It’s the only caffeine I can handle and B vitamins are way too much for my system that seems to love being locked in fight or flight mode)
