Food Intolerances

[Coley_o]

Hello! I am trying to prepare and collect all information to start at Whole 30. The biggest problem I'm having right now is that I have severe food intolerances to avocado, eggs and coconut oil/milk. I have tried not using any of these for 8 weeks and then re-introducing with no success. I've also tried using digestive enzymes when eating theses food items with no success. I'm just at a loss of how to do this Whole 30 because these foods are part of a good majority of recipes....especially breakfast! The side effects of eating these food aren't worth it to me! Help!

Thanks

Lots of people do Whole30 with no eggs, just eat other protein sources instead. Avocado and any coconut product are fats. You can replace them with other fats. You can cook in tallow, lard, duck fat, chicken fat, ghee, or olive oil, just sub those in for coconut oil in recipes where you're just adding them to cook in. For eating, try olives or compliant bacon or occasionally have nuts or seeds. You can find eggless mayo recipes -- I haven't tried any so I'm not sure which is best, but google Whole30 AIP mayo.

 

It's really not as difficult as you're thinking it is. Buy fresh meats and vegetables, season them in whatever way sounds good to you, and cook them, using whatever oil or fat you want to use that's Whole30 compliant. Make some sauces or dressings or dips out of compliant items that you can have (chimichurri or Morroccan dipping sauce are good with just about everything, for instance).

Thanks Shannon! I will try those substitutes and get planning! Just a little intimidated and nervous to start!
