[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 671309, member: 17461"] I love cookies and pasta and bread too, but have allergic reactions when I eat them. Or even, rice or popcorn. I had been figuring out on my own which foods were causing reactions when I came across the information on the FOD diet and then, looked into the autoimmune Paleo Diet, as well. I'd heard about the Paleo Diet, but did not understand it's purpose was to address the inflammatory response. We just learned vegetable oil can be an inflammatory agent, and are using only olive oil, now. Your son was correct in that, Copa. Maybe, he is right about diet. allrecipes.com has an entire section on Paleo cooking. *** I don't know what a tri-tip is, Copa. Beef of some kind, I understand that, but I think I have never eaten a tri-tip. Especially with the nicer cuts of beef? I have an allergic reaction and my asthma flares up. And yet, I can eat pork. I can eat Italian sausage, even. But not beef. So that is why I did not ask how to make tri-tip. I react badly to beef, and to some brands of chicken. Pork I can do, but not ham. I react badly to beans, rice, quinoa even; corn. Cheese. Eggplant and peppers. (Asthma, not gastro.) And to other strange things. I did have problems with my stomach, and began using apple cider vinegar or Diet Coke for them. (I know, everyone is appalled at Diet Coke. But I was miserable, and tried it, and it works, for me. So does apple cider vinegar in water, but not as well.) The FOD diet relates foods from the nightshade family to allergic response. (Potatoes, eggplant, peppers, tomatillos.) It lists chemical additives and allergic response, which was interesting. In some other piece of research Copa, I read that food dye Yellow #5 (I think it was #5) which is in much prepared food, is highly allergenic. Foods prepared from beans, such as coffee or cocoa, can be inflammatory, according to the information on the FOD diet site. So that explains why I react to coffee. I should stop drinking it, again. I have been learning by trial and error, and did not know there were specific diets designed, not just to avoid say, peanuts, but to calm the entire inflammatory response. I know avoiding certain foods helps with asthma. I know that when he eats potatoes, D H arthritis flares up. I believe your son is right, Copa. Daughter has been aware of the role diet plays too (before I had any concerns about it), but like me, she was figuring things out on her own. I will share this information with her, too. Let us take our cue from your son then, Copa. I will have to give up coffee again. Here is a funny thing that happened. So I did decide to give up coffee, after I read the information on the FOD diet. I made Tension Tamer tea instead, which is an herbal, caffeine-free tea. And had an allergic reaction almost as bad as any I have had. Huh. That is what is so frustrating about being allergic to things. I am allergic to healthy things, too. roar Now I am considering again, because of this thread, the anti-inflammatory diet.

D H uses cream in his coffee. I used to enjoy rye bread, but I don't eat bread, anymore. I don't eat blue cheese dressing or sour cream, either. I will try these things and report back. I just stopped eating them because I stopped eating breads and dairy. Blue cheese for sure and maybe, rye and sour cream, will probably do amazing things for our microbiota. We have been using plain Greek yogurt with live cultures. Apparently, one cannot use too much plain Greek yogurt with live cultures. Ew. Those stupid microbiota. Cedar [/QUOTE]
