• Citrus Fruits: Oranges, lemons, and grapefruits due to potential allergenicity.
• Nightshade Vegetables: Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and potatoes for those sensitive to nightshades.
• Processed Foods: Minimize intake of processed foods with hidden allergens and additives.
• Artificial Additives: Avoid artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives during the elimination phase.
• Caffeine and Alcohol: Temporarily eliminate caffeine and alcohol to observe their impact on well-being.
• High-Sugar Foods: Minimize intake of high-sugar foods and beverages during the elimination period.

Managing high blood pressure requires a diet rich in potassium, magnesium, and fiber while low in sodium. Here are some suitable alternatives:

• Steel-cut oats can replace regular oats for a lower glycemic index and more fiber.
• Oat milk is a low-sodium, nutrient-dense alternative to skim milk.
• Walnuts offer heart-healthy fats, making them a great substitute for unsalted nuts.
• Barley can replace brown rice, providing more fiber and a different texture.
• Kale is a nutrient-dense green that can replace broccoli, offering additional vitamins and minerals.

Purchasing oats, quinoa, and brown rice in bulk can be a cost-effective strategy. Skim milk and unsalted nuts bought in larger, economy sizes can also save money. Berries can be expensive, so consider buying them frozen or in season when they are cheaper. Lemon and olive oil, used for dressings and cooking, can be bought in larger quantities for better value.
