The BC hothouse tomatoes are AMAZING right now so I am eating them every day.
Not so long ago if I ate a tomato I felt like I had just had a big bowl of gut busting pasta. After a lot of reading, research and consultation with people who knew more about it than me (a.k.a. experts) it seemed that I had an intolerance to nightshade vegetables. No more cauliflower, mushrooms, white potatoes, bell peppers, paprika and cayenne pepper. No more Frank’s Red Hot sauce? I put that shit on everything!
But because I am not one to go down without a fight I made it my mission to figure out what I needed to do rectify this situation. STAT! Turns out I was already halfway there by following the #Paleo diet template and just needed to give my gut a little longer to heal. Huh, how do you know about that?
Now I can eat all the cauliflower rice, sauteed mushrooms, juicy local tomatoes and Frank’s that I want.
Eat real, whole, nutrient dense food. Heal your gut. It will do your body good.
