trailingthesun's Journal, 15 Mar 24

I keep a daily journal of what I eat. Over the years I've learned a great deal how ANY food that has even minimal processing can be a big negative to my system.

Natural flavoring tops the list. While it must originate from an actual naturally occurring plant/item the method of extraction varies and is not disclosed on the label.

Solvent extraction can leave residue and that residue can cause negative reactions. A case in point is Decaf coffee; I have to be ever vigilant to avoid solvent extracted Decaf as I literally break out in acne reminiscent of a teenager. Lot of reading and trial and error but I've pinpointed many products I simply can't eat without experiencing problems.

That said to say this; I'm not concerned with the sudden gain as I've no doubt it's inflammation caused by a new (and amazingly delicious) salad dressing. I set it to the side and I'll know in about 2 days if it was the culprit.

Sooòo, PLEASE stop beating yourself up when you have a sudden uptick on the scale and seriously begin to deconstruct your food. Knowledge is power.

I can totally relate. I can't eat a lot of things other people love. Any kind of coffee for one. Greek yogurt. Milk. Tomatoes. Raw onions. Oats. Etc. It took me years to learn that trying to force myself to eat certain foods was counter intuitive.

Absolutely Morticia! One person's pleasure can be another's poison.

Please share when or if you feel to. I am trying to learn more about processing and additives.

Thanks for sharing. It’s very interesting and knowledgeable. Processed foods and additives can also cause many other medical problems such as dermatological conditions
