Hey, everyone, this is after a show.

I just want to make a quick reminder for you as you're trying to determine what the best

diet for your individual system is, is that healthy foods may harm you.

Now, healthy foods is a very kind of loose rubric but two examples that

are important to keep in mind are one foods high in fiber and even though

oftentimes foods that are higher in fiber are stereotyped as healthy, i.e. fruits and vegetables.

For those with IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, IBD, inflammatory bowel disease,

there is definitely evidence showing that these foods can be problematic.

Now it's not to say you go devoid of those foods completely, but there is clearly

a trend where these types of foods seem to be noxious and irritating to those with sensitive

digestion. And so the solution here is not going to either extremes in absolutist terms,

but rather understanding that you may have a certain threshold for how

much of these foods you can tolerate in your diet and do well.

histamine.
