Nightshades, sauce of any kind where I don't know what's in it, mushrooms, fungus, dairy, wheat most of the time, colors, flavors, pesticides, preservatives, fake sugar, anything else fake, gmos, anything imported from the us. No fast food here like in the states and most restaurants are off limits. No Thai food in Thailand for me and that really upsets my Thai friends.
And, yes, turmeric is anti inflammatory and I consume a lot of it. I know when I don't eat enough of it for sure.
wait wait... so you don't eat any traditional thai food!!! that upsets me lol.
Surely there are some restaurants that pride themselves on similar values....
you could always recreate the dishes too right
Join my upset Thai friends and my son in California who loves Thai food. I can't eat chili peppers or eggplant (nightshades) or garlic. Those three things alone are in almost every Thai food dish.
I am close to some Thai people and they have asked for my list to see what they can do, but they come back and tell me I will just have to starve! One lady asked her Grandmother for me and it's a no go.
I have some unpublished videos of me walking through food places and showing you the 95% of food I can't eat. The smell is fantastic though. I need to publish those.
I could not eat most food in the us for the last 10+ years, so this is actually a paradise for me.
But No Thai Chicken! I tried it as I try most things at least once. The next day I went to a massage place I was going to every other day at the time. The girl took one look at my hand skin and said "No Thai Chicken!" Then got all the other ladies to come look and they all said to never eat it again. I did not feel bad, but I have not eaten chicken since. I don't have any idea what they saw on my skin, but I am not taking any chances!
