  1. Yes, Locust bean gum is fine.
  2. Have a read through this article https://whole30.com/plant-based/plant-based-whole30-meats/ It sounds like it would likely not really work because they often have additional ingredients that are still out for the PB Whole 30.
  3. I dug through some archives and found this company - They're not cheap which is a bummer and it's a powder not a paste but could work for you. https://lonolife.com/collections/chicken-bone-broth/products/chicken-bone-broth-stick-pack There are also these two recipes that you can use to make your own - I haven't looked at them specifically so just make sure that if you make them, they don't have non compliant ingredients, they're from an archive post a few years ago so the recipe could have changed. https://paleogrubs.com/homemade-instant-bouillon-cubes https://southern-bytes.com/paleo-chicken-bouillon/
  4. Oh man! Ya, that can happen! Just push through...Maybe try something with a texture you really love (me = mashed potatoes) or a particular flavor profile (me = spicy) or having 'breakfast' for dinner. Even if you haven't meal prepped those items or they're not what you were expecting to eat, give that a try - no whole30 is perfect, as long as you're eating Whole30 compliant foods, you're good to go! Sometimes the balm to the drastic change of Whole30 is finding a 'comfort food' that jump starts you and then when your appetite is back, go from there!
  5. Caramel Color is good to go - trying to get more information but for now, the screenshot of Melissa's post from 15 days ago is correct.
  6. I will send a quick note to HQ and see what they say - stay tuned.
  7. I've forwarded your request to HQ. Stay well.
  8. Sorry you're not feeling well! Given that you have added honey to your tea, technically, you would need to start over. I would suggest that you stick to eating whole foods and as close to the Whole30 as possible until you feel better and then start again from the beginning so that you get the full 30 days and can properly do the reintroduction.
  9. You 'can' but it is not recommended - hormones play a huge role in how your body runs and skipping meals causes your hormones to be out of balance. Are you making the meals you do have to match the template? (linked in my signature below).
  10. Was there sugar in the ingredients or just in the nutritional panel? If the ingredients were fine, then the product is fine - these types of items do have a lot of naturally occurring sugar considering that they're made mostly of fruit and dates but as long as the ingredients don't have added sugar, you're good to go. As far as the insomnia, I think being able to approach the specialist with what you've been eating and not drinking would be of huge benefit to you - if you were consuming alcohol, that might mask symptoms - eating whole foods and keeping inflammatory foods out can do nothing but help the situation. I wish you all the best in getting the insomnia sorted!
  11. this is fine. The pancake rule would be around recreating baked goods and treats/desserts.
  12. You can either look for the Whole30 approved logo, which should be on Primal Kitchen products* or you can read the ingredients and if there are no items in the ingredients that are not compatible with the Whole30 then the item is good to go. That's the fastest and easiest way to learn to determine if a product is suitable. *I don't know if ALL their products are Whole30 approved. You would want to read the ingredients of any that may not have the Whole30 Approved logo on them to determine. PS. there are no apps or scanners that are endorsed by the Whole30 to scan product labels or UPC codes to determine compatibility.
  13. For this item, you only need to read ingredients. If sugar or sneaky sugars (link to a list in my signature below) are listed, then the product is out. A LOT of foods will show sugar in the nutritional chart because most food has inherent sugars in it and that's fine, it's the added ones we are avoiding. So don't look at grams or percentages, just look at the ingredients, match them up and you're good to go. For this item, the easiest way would likely be to google the items you're unsure about - you can either just straight google them and know that if they are a derivative of dairy or grains or soy etc... then they would be out. OR, you can google them with 'whole30 forum' in the google search and it will likely bring up an old forum thread with the answer. We've been around for so long that most of the answers to these questions are already out there - our forum search doesn't really work tho so google is your best bet. Seems like there's not a ton of forum discussion around this that I can see but here's one old one that has links on it that might help. You may need to reach outside of the Whole30 community into the histamine community and then blend the things you learn from each. You can also just google whole30 low histamine recipes and see what you find - I found this link - just be sure that you're matching up the ingredients with the rules of the Whole30; we don't monitor what people 'call' whole30 on the internet so some non compatible stuff sneaks into lists like this but I'm sure you'll find something helpful! https://casadesante.com/blogs/meal-plans/7-day-whole30-low-histamine-meal-plan-with-shopping-list There's this blog also - they are also restricting other items but there might be useful information in there https://humaninrecovery.com/2015/11/02/whole30-low-histamine-low-fodmap-egg-nightshade-free-whats-left-to-eat/
  14. If you can go back to the whole30 while you're not feeling well that would probably give you the best data for reintroduction when you're feeling better instead of trying to do it when your immune system is down and you already feel crummy.
  15. Technically yes but the recommendation would be to try and stay away from 'dessert like substitutes' after your meals.
