JessiePL Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So I have successfully reintroduced Dairy and Legumes. I had no reaction Yay! I love Dairy so that was definitely a plus for me. I also reintroduced Legumes...nothing too serious with beans but some gas discomfort but no real bloating or anything too bad. However; I had organic peanut butter with just peanuts as an ingredient but I felt like it caused my throat to feel as if I had food stuck or like some phlegm stuck. Now A friend invited us to eat Pupusas, and since I'm good with cheese and legumes...I guess the pupusas would count as gluten-grain? Right? But I'm sure she will use some veetable oil, so I'm afraid if I get some reaction I won't be sure what it is that caused it. Do you think the minor ingredients, like the oils or dextrose and corn starch in the cheese she might use could cause some reactions? Or not too bad? I'm pretty afraid to eat anything now unless it's 100% the item i'm introducing, but then again, most grain foods like read have other ingredients as well...so how would I know what exactly causes the reaction? Sorry if my questions aren't clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2013 Added ingredients muddy the test. You can't know which component of a multi-component food is responsible for a reaction. Only by testing foods one at a time can you hope to figure out how your body responds. The problem with reintroductions is that most people do not have severe reactions. It would be nice if we got a stomach ache or diarrhea every time we ate something that our body didn't like, but only a few people experience problems that clearly. Most of us experience symptoms that are so mild that we don't notice them. At least not within a few days. For example, with dairy, you might not notice any problems now, but you might notice next month that you are not sleeping as soundly as you were. Note: I don't know if dairy will mess with your sleep or not. I'm just making a point that some issues show up over time and they do not manifest in an obvious way.

RoseKH Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I reintroduced dairy yesterday (milk in my coffee, cheese in an omelet, a plain Greek yogurt and more cheese with dinner.) Physically I felt ok, but today I am SO cranky! Even people at work noticed that I've been in such a good mood for the past month, but not today! I don't want to attribute every bad mood to food, but could it be???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtandi Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I did about 4 days of dairy and had reactions I don't think I would've had if I'd done just a little or only one day...for me it took a couple days for reactions to happen and I really noticed them when I took the dairy back OUT. I love dairy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoisH99 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I added gluten grains early this week. YIKES. I felt awful within 24 hours! Nausea, vomiting, and the like. This is the information I was looking for when I started the Whole30 process. Back to work eating foods that make me feel good! (Thankfully I have had no bad reaction to reese's peanut butter cups! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
