  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.
  16. We generally suggest that the cooking fat shouldn't be counted for your full fat intake because it gets split between portions and often left in the pan. Other fat sources are olives, nuts (sparingly), mayo based sauces, pesto. You could turn your avocado into guacamole for a different spin and if you google I know there are tons of W30 compatible sauce recipes out there that use oil, mayo or avocado.
  17. Sorry no, these would fall under the Pancake Rule - https://whole30.com/the-pancake-rule/ Good find for your food freedom tho!
  18. That would entirely depend on the ingredients - if it's just juice then yes. If it's got added sugar or other sweeteners then no.
  19. It is very hard to overeat fats, but it you are curious, there are a few things you can do. First, ask yourself if you are full well past 4-5 hours between meals. If you're getting comfortably hungry at about 5 hours between meals then your previous meal was probably well composed. If you are forcing yourself to eat three meals a day because you're still full, you could try and cut back on the plated fat in the meals that have more and see how that gets you through the day. For the ones where you toss the potatoes in olive oil or similar, if you consider it, you're not getting much fat - usually it's less than a tablespoon of oil and that's split between all portions so it wouldn't be enough for a meal. Maybe with the tuna salad you could remove the plated fat - don't worry about the fat in an egg, that doesn't really 'count' for the program as an egg is a whole synergistic food by itself and isn't considered a fat.
  20. You'll find a whole article on Kombucha on the Whole30 at this link, including a section about alcohol. https://whole30.com/kombucha/
  21. Yes, apple juice is a substitute for apple cider. I believe the term apple cider is regional when it comes to the non-alcoholic apple juice beverage.
  22. Okay so it looks like the active ingredient is MSM and the rest are sweeteners and flavoring. So you could try taking a pure MSM capsule Here's one - this is from the Canadian Amazon but I'm sure you can find something similar for the country you're in or even at your local health food store. https://www.amazon.ca/NOW-Msm-Pure-Powder-227g/dp/B008X8JEH6/ref=asc_df_B008X8JEH6/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459615438893&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=139190991860975056&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001485&hvtargid=pla-1386671745754&psc=1
  23. Oh gosh, sorry you're not feeling well. It's hard to tell from this limited information but a common cause of feeling poorly and being fatigued is not eating enough - sometimes we start out great and match our meals to the template and as the month goes on, things kind of slip and we eat less, don't include protein, fat and carbs (and starchy carbs). Could this be the case?
