PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid

cpd54, thanks for your comment. I am curious about the food sensitivity testing and the foods you avoid.
I, for a long time, have been sensitive to band aids and certain tapes. Was never sure if it was the 'band aid' or the adhesive. I bought a couple pair of leggings only to find at the end of the day I had two red stripes down the sides of my legs from the seams. There was spandex content but I didn't think spandex had latex in it. So the avocado cross reactivity with latex could maybe affect me. I wore a zio patch for a few days and got blisters.
Food sensitivities for sure can be a problem.

My functional medicine doctor ordered the test.
My worst offenders are dairy( of course) apricots, egg whites, avocado, cabbage, chili peppers, garlic, mustard seed, green tea, whey. My test gave results in 4 columns. I try to eat in the first 2 columns since those are the foods I’m less sensitive to.
I know some people believe food sensitivity test to be “quackery”. But I do know when I don’t eat the foods that I am sensitive to, I feel much better.
My granddaughters GP had her do a FS a test since she was vomiting a lot after eating. Because a mainstream doctor prescribed it, insurance paid for it. I had to pay for mine out of pocket.
