You can find a list of hypoallergenic foods to choose from. And really fish in general is not hypoallergenic. Although salmon makes the lists I've seen. Sweet potatoes, cabbage, pears, lamb...

You can find a link to a whole discussion thread with elimination diet methods, hypoallergenic food lists, food families so you can avoid or add in groups of related foods, etc, in the pinned Good Things thread.

Thank You for the advice. I would mostly be eating salmon as i love it and can get it wild. I will look into the lists.

List of Hypoallergenic Foods from World's Healthiest Foods book. (For some reason, they cover this much more simply and to the point in the book than on the website. You think it would be the other way around.)

My Notes:

-Many people with a damage digestive tract and/or extremely intolerant should avoid all grains. legumes, nuts, seeds until they heal. And many are cross contaminated with gluten grains. Some won't see any improvement from only avoiding the gluten grains.

-Lamb is on that list because it is almost always from pastured animals fed no grains. If you can find products from other animals raised that way or wild they are probably fine.

-Make sure the Salmon is wild, not farmed.

-Cherries, like other stone fruit should be organic and we've had some people here that break out from stone fruit. I don't know that they've methodically verified that they react to every stone fruit or if they can have cherries. Almonds belong to the same family.

-I get cysts from oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and key limes, but I've been able to use quite a bit of lemon and other limes without a problem.

-Some people have difficulty digesting legumes, so you might want to avoid those for a period as well. And when you add them in, make them yourself from dried beans and soaked at least overnight. And black beans belong to the kidney bean family and kidney beans are considered high in lectins so their inclusion in a list of hypo-allergenic foods is confusing, only consume if you soak and cook properly. More info on lectins and proper preparation/food combos to reduce their harm: http://www.acne.org/...me-t247794.html

-Some people have issues with fructose malabsorption which can be improved with a natural circadian rhythm and certain nutrients like taurine. http://www.acne.org/...bo-t299249.html

-And I'm not sure if by 'Summer Squash (Zucchini)' they mean all summer squash with zucchini as one example of a summer squash, or they mean specifically just zucchini.

Great list! Was surprised spinach and cucumbers were not on the list. should i not eat it? What other greens could i make my green smoothies with as kale is very bitter and i want to avoid fruit for a while?

Chard, cabbage, a dark romaine lettuce... I used to do cabbage, Granny Smith apple and ginger.

And you can do a savory smoothie in which case the bitter won't be an issue.

Thanks!

@alternativista covered everything to my knowledge. I have nothing to add. Looks good!
