People with MCAS and autism or people that have gone through a low FODMAP and/or anti-histamine/low histamine diet: I'm struggling with these two. I went on an elimination diet a few months back and it wasn't nearly as hard as this. I had some issues that flared my body up recently, so I'm not doing the full low-histamine and low FODMAP diet just so that I can work on my body currently rather than potentially making things worse. So far, I've started freezing things immediately and trying not to keep leftovers in the fridge. I've also already cut out some known triggers for me due to the elimination diet that happen to be high in histmanes or in the high FODMAP category. The sensory sensitivities are really doing me in, though. I'm struggling with the freezing because it leave a weird taste, smell, and texture. Some foods feel way too crunchy, others feel way too soft/mushy/soggy. Some foods have a mettalic taste, some taste like chlorine/pool water, and some taste like fluoride. Anyways, how did you get through this? Any tips? Should I just not cook as much and instead cook each day (despite it being exhausting, and I'm still incredibly scared of the extreme heat)? Or should I just forget about it and just deal with what my body has done? Any meal prep services (like HelloFresh) that are good for MCAS and other allergies (have found I have a tomato allergy, that's very similar to a gluten allergy because you can't have any cross contamination but has different symtoms than gluten allergies do)?
