darlagiam Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Our Whole30 has created a very postiive avalanche. My husband & I have each lost 20 pounds, feel amazing, sleep soundly and have real energy. Several friends have looked into this crazy thing we're doing as a result of seeing our results. I have a question. My entire life I've been severely sensitive to citrus. My fruit intake was limited to apples, bananas and pears. Boring. It's not like I'd die if I ate strawberries or pineapple. I'd just want to. Crippling and painful mouth sores were always my reward for trying. About 3 weeks into our Whole30 I really wanted to try Melissa Joulwan's Pina Colada Chicken from WellFed2. No reaction. I made it twice in a week. Nothing . Now i'm going completely citrus crazy & am eating oranges, pineapple!!!, plums, peaches...NO REACTION! Why is this? What happened during the Whole30? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I wish I had an answer for you - I don't. All I can tell you is that I used to get the same reaction - maybe not as severe - but would eat pineapple anyway (hands down my favourite fruit). As soon as I go "off plan" by just a little bit - I get the sores back. I do know that whole 30 will help alleviate allergies in general - so maybe it's one of those things.

Lectralove Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't have an answer either but I have a tingling reaction to many many fruits when I eat them peaches, apples, cherries even raw carrots to name a few. I'm so excited to see if whole30 can help some of my allergies. That alone would be life changing. I start tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you notice you can eat these fruits and veggies when they're cooked? I've been putting baby carrots into boiling water for about 3-4 min, and then into an ice bath to stop the cooking. No more itchy tingles, and tastes just like raw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
