I've been strictly avoiding milk, gluten, msg and aspartame for a few

years now. People say that diet is difficult but its not. If you

include avoiding soya then its difficult but so far i dont need to do

that.

ive also avoided nightshade family foods for a while. i went out for

dinner the other day and found aubergine (a nightshade) in my food. i

still ate it as its an intolerance not an allergy thats the issue with

nightshade family foods. My fibromyalgia played up shortly afterwards.

im not going to eat aubergine again.

Another reaction was when i had MSG in a meal. i got really bad windy

indigestion afterwards so im not eating that either.

Its a case of trial and error. Unless the food is addictive then

reintroducing it one at a time is the best way to go following a

period of abstaining. This is recommended for people treating ADHD

dietary wise as well.
