SingOut Suzy 0 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi all! I'm on Day 14 of my first Whole30, and up until yesterday, I was eating strictly on-plan. I went out to dinner last night (first time dining out!) and asked the server for oil and vinegar for my salad. I doused the greens with both and took a big bite. It tasted odd--salty--so I tried it again and realized the server had brought me soy sauce instead of balsamic vinegar! Do I need to start over? I feel fine today, and things were going so well!

Tina R 698 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Technically yes or you just avoid soy for an additional 14 days. Start your intros with gluten, dairy and gluten free grains and then do soy on day 44. Does that make sense? Link to post Share on other sites
almondjoyless 81 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 My understanding is that if it was an accident, you don't need to start over. Maybe a moderator can correct me on this. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators Tom Denham 10042 Posted April 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am really sorry you got dosed with soy. That really sucks. Unfortunately, soy is a big enough deal that you need to start over again. You get a pass on an accidental dose of sugar, but not soy because it can have a broad range of influences in your body. The fact that you don't feel bad after a dose does not mean you do not have issues with soy. The Whole30 eliminates a range of possible problem foods for 30 days before you reintroduce anything. If you have not been off of all of them for 30 days before you begin reintroductions, your experiment may be skewed. Link to post Share on other sites

You do have to check ingredients still -- some balsamic vinegar add caramel color, which is a sweetener, or may have added sulfites listed in the ingredients list (Although naturally occurring sulfites, which will be in all balsamic vinegar, are okay -- just avoid the ones where they've added extra).
