I also believe the citric acid present in fruits is why I get migraines from their consumption also.<br /><br />I wonder if the citric acid prompts candida, or some other organism present in my gut to produce a chemical that causes the migraines? I find it strange that such as diverse set of triggers, Jonathan Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524025780702646120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31843095.post-27427389273150533712012-05-15T17:19:20.639+01:002012-05-15T17:19:20.639+01:00UGH This makes me so frustrated! i am already not ...UGH This makes me so frustrated! i am already not eating everything else and now citric acid! im about to give up on this whole thing!

These have been diagnosed and confirmed by medical professionals, including MDs. Because citric acid is so ubiquitous, this sensitivity has a profound effect on my ability to eat in public or rely on "normal" packaged foods. And I agree with this blogger -- it so often seems to have very little purpose. Very frustrating.

As I explained in my post, much of the commercially-produced citric acid used as a preservative in food stuffs is not derived from citrus fruit as one might imagine, but from the by-product of feeding a type of yeast with sugar. Yeast and sugar are the two potential allergens associated with candida overgrowth. Hence, it seems sensible to avoid citric acid, although I recognise Djinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555397089484604826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31843095.post-32039138366878527972008-02-22T14:10:00.000+00:002008-02-22T14:10:00.000+00:00Why does it upset you so much?
