kriminal, first of all I'd like to ask what type of discomfort you feel if any. When I'm exposed to a chemical for instance I feel pain around my right abdomen and then shortly thereafter in my prostate.

The reason why I ask that is that it is your guide that will tell you what is irritating your ICV as you proceed. It will also help in pointing you in the right direction.

Sorry, not familiar if you are a many or woman but if you have prostatitis or vaginitis then there's a high probability that you have ICV dysfunction. When exposed to an irritants the ICV continually leaks into the private parts causing discomfort and yeast problems.

Real hot or real cold foods irritate the ICV, make sure you are drinking pure water (preferably spring water) that isn't fortified by miinerals. Lot of minerals irritate the ICV including calcium supplement type products. That includes dicalcium phosphate that is used in a lot of the soy/rice milk type products. Don't eat anything canned or packaged, stay with the basics: chicken, turkey, steamed veggies.

To get started your best bet is chicken, turkey, steamed veggies. I'd stay away from brown rice as it is very abrasive. Brown rice pasta is okay.

The best way in any of these type of exploratory diets is to start out with foods you know you aren't allergic to and that aren't irritants. I'd go a couple days with just baked chicken and turkey with steamed veggies and see how you feel.

Make sure you cook in glass and not metal containers and change over your utensils to wood or bambo as metal is a known irritant as has been pointed out by others here on the forum.. There's a company here in the states that I ordered bamboo knife/fork/spoon sets for only $1.95 each.

You will have to be vigilant about the type of soaps and cleaners you use as the chemicals are all irritants. You can buy plant-based cleaners at your health store including for cleaning your clothes. Don't wear perfume or cologne. Don't use any deodorants and change your toothpaste also at the health store.

Eat all organic food as possible as the chemicals in regular food are irritants. Don't eat any citrus as they are irritants.

If you do this for a few days you should start feeling better than you have in a long time unless there's an irritant you are exposed to that you haven't identified as yet.
