In this final part of our series about releasing your food sensitivities, we’re uncovering two more sneaky food triggers—salicylates and FODMAPs—and their surprising connection to inflammation and chronic pain. While eliminating certain foods temporarily can help you identify sensitivities, the real goal is retraining your body to become more tolerant over time. More to come on that in future chapter episodes.

Key Topics Covered

· Salicylates: Naturally found in foods like blueberries, avocados, and coffee, these plant-derived chemicals are also in synthetic forms like aspirin and NSAIDs. Sensitivity usually starts with synthetic exposure but can extend to food sources over time.

· FODMAPs: Short-chain carbohydrates found in certain fruits, dairy, wheat, and legumes. While they can cause gut issues in those with imbalanced gut bacteria, avoiding them long-term can be harmful since they feed beneficial gut microbes.

· Short-Term Breaks vs. Long-Term Solutions: Eliminating foods temporarily can help identify triggers, but the ultimate goal is to rebuild tolerance and restore balance.
