Simple Low Stress Foods

ANIMAL PROTEIN
Chicken, lamb, turkey, fish (trout, salmon, sardines). (Avoid beef, pork & dairy products).

VEGETABLES
Green peas, beans and other legumes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, squash, asparagus, cauliflower, onions, radishes, beets, celery, greens (beet, mustard, spinach, kale, collards), cucumbers, okra, brussel sprouts, avocado, broccoli, parsnips, rutabaga.

FRUITS
Apples, bananas, grapes, peaches, pears, cantaloupe, watermelon, figs, dates, cherries, apricots, plums, nectarines, persimmons, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, dewberries, boysenberries, raspberries, loganberries. Fruits are very easily digested (and therefore put the least stress on the body), especially if eaten in the afternoon. (Avoid citrus fruit & pineapple)

BAKED GOODS
If wheat allergy is indicated, you'll want to bake your own wheat-free bread, carrot cake, and so on, because almost all commercially available breads, cakes, and crackers contain wheat. Good wheat replacements include oat, short grain brown rice and soy flours. In baking cakes, sugar is best replaced by raw honey.

MISCELLANEOUS
Nuts (cashews, pistachios, almonds) raw honey, pure maple syrup, safflower oil. In general, margarine is not recommended because most brands contain single chain length of fatty acid, which puts a big stress on the liver.

You will notice that citrus fruits are not on the list. If all is well after a week on a low-stress diet, add oranges and other citrus fruits (including limes, grapefruit, flavorings in desserts). If an upset stomach or other adverse reactions to citrus fruits are not noticed within 3 days, add corn-containing foods (cornbread, batters, cereals, and peanut butter, and the many other processed and refined foods containing corn oil, starch, or syrup).

If all goes well again, add eggs next. (Egg-containing foods include: macaroni, salad dressings, noodles, pancake mixes, and other manufactured or processed foods. Please keep processed foods to a minimum though.)

Then add wheat (bread, crackers, soups, cereals, pancake mixes, batters, salad dressings, gravies).

Finally, but only in small amounts, once per day - you can add margarine and dairy products (cheese, butter, breads, certain soups).
