This list is not exhaustive nor is it specific to your particular health conditions. It would be impossible for us to list every food type. However, the one rule you can implement is to stay away from processed and packaged foods as much as possible.  If you are not sure about a particular food then try it in small amounts first.

This list is mobile friendly so you can easily check the list while doing your grocery shopping.
