Identifying Food Intolerances: Common Symptoms & What to Do


Question
I tried green smoothies for a couple of months & they started making me sick
until I was eventually throwing up.  The content was:  water, kale, spinach,
romaine, carrot, celery, blueberries, strawberries, and sometimes
watermelon.  I cannot tolerate banana or avocado as they feel like they give
me indigestion.  What's wrong with my system?
Thanks,
Gail

Answer
Gail,

Does any of these ingredients separately make you sick? It might make sense to check it out because one possible reason can be a food allergy. Start with a smoothy containing only ingredients you are sure are OK for you, then add one more food at a time.
