Did I find a missing piece to my puzzle?

August 29, 2014 By Riley 2 Comments

My health puzzle is the one I am referring to and green beans may be a missing piece.

About a month ago, I enlisted the help of a nutritionist to add to the network of medical professionals who are currently helping me heal from SIBO.  While on a phone call with her this week, I mentioned that I had IGG/IGA allergy testing done a year ago which revealed that I was allergic to eggs, kidney beans, cranberries, blueberries, coffeee beans, sesame seeds, etc.  She asked that I send it over to her.  Before I sent it, I took a look at it my results and discovered that I AM ALLERGIC TO STRING BEANS (aka GREEN BEANS).

I have been eating at least two cups of green beans almost every day for the past three months.  They have been one of my main sources of carbohydrates.  How did I miss this?  Well, at the time that I did the allergy testing, I was not eating green beans because I thought they were considered legumes and I was trying to stay low FODMAP.  Since I wasn’t eating them at the time of my allergy testing results, I sent knowledge of that allergy to the back of my brain.

While I don’t notice any digestive discomfort after eating green beans, during my class this summer, I would always be really tired right after lunch.  And guess what- I was eating green beans every day for lunch.

I do not think that removing green beans will be the magic answer to solving all my current health issues, but it may be one overlooked element that will set me on the path toward healing.

HYDRATING 🍉💦 Watermelon-Lime Cooler from @no HYDRATING 🍉💦 Watermelon-Lime Cooler from @nourishmekitchen’s AMAZING NEW cookbook 👏🏻! I’m not exaggerating when I say this woman has changed my life. I’m so grateful to have found her through an internet search 11 years ago when going through the worst of my chronic health struggles. She’s a talented naturopath, acupuncturist, healer, and overall incredible person. Her NEW book set includes a wellness guide + cookbook and is just as fabulous as she is. Here’s one of the recipes I’ve tried (and loved ❤️):

3 cups fresh or frozen watermelon
1/2 cup lime juice (~2 medium limes)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1 cup ice
1 cup water
Liquid stevia (optional)
8 fresh basil leaves (optional)
1/2 small cucumber, roughly chopped (peeled if not organic; optional)

Blend and enjoy! 🥂😋

I salvaged this Mr. Potato Head looking sweet potato that was otherwise headed for the compost and turned him into a bunch of little sweet potato plants based on a method I saw recommended in a YouTube video. And it worked 🎉 (can’t guarantee it actually produces sweet potatoes yet though 😜).
