Basic clean eating suggestions?

Whole30 is another approach you can take -- google Whole30 and look through the rules on their website. Personally I find that their mindset is too restrictive for my tastes, but it isn't a bad place to start if you want to rule out certain foods as the cause of GI issues.

I went through this and ended up having an Endoscopy and other tests and all came back normal. He put me on the Fodmap diet which I did for a while - started adding more foods back one at a time and discovered it was the spinach I was eating multiple times a day that was killing me.. Now I can eat everything else but the spinach.. I would try the elimination diet approach if all else fails.

There is a book that just came out called "The Elimination Diet". I highly recommend it. I am trying it myself as I have a lot of food allergies and it can be difficult to figure out what is causing my symptoms.

You might want to look in to the FODMAP diet. I suggest when re-introducing foods you be scientific about it, introducing one at a time and trying it for at least 48 hours before concluding if it helps or hurts. When I suddenly developed hives, my sister told me the reaction to a food might be delayed by a day or two, so the culprit could have been anything I ate in the last few days. I found it. I'm allergic to almonds.
