As I have been dealing with this serotonin issue, I have found that I am very sensitive to food, so I wanted to start a thread about food options, that bare minimum, do not cause worsening of symptoms for me, so probably won't for most others given my sever sensitivity...
Most people on this forum will tell you these items are safe(I believe):
Bone Broth
White Rice, with butter and salt
In most cases potatoes and carrots steamed/boiled very soft or mashed potatoes if you stick to butter and salt for flavoring
I found any dairy, or meat would not work for me initially(my symptoms would increase immensely after consumption), even meet cooked on the bone.
That's all fine and good, but I went through a several week period, where that is literally all I could have, and besides loosing a lot of weight, it was also terribly boring, and the lack of appetite from high levels of serotonin, with the boredom of selection wasn't helping... so I started getting creative... like taco bell, how can I have a few basic ingredients, but prepare them differently.
I created a rice noodle soup that has been one my favorites, it's super easy, and quick, and could be put in a thermos and carried to work, if you are a working professional like myself, it has enough protein and carbs, that you don't need to worry about a reaction one way or the other there.
I prep everything Sunday night, so all I have to do is mix ingredients in a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Steam or boil carrots and potatoes, cook a whole box of rice noodles and store in refrigerator in separate containers.
Rice noodle soup:
80z of the Sprouts bone broth, whichever flavor you prefer
3oz of the more expensive kettle fire, mushroom and chicken, for flavor and addition of mushroom
Dump in rice noodles, a few large spoon fulls of carrot, and potatoes
Add a small amount of butter, and black Hawaiian sea salt
Optional:
Pour about half a shot glass of the fermented cabbage, this adds a real nice flavor and some probiotics, but if you find your gut is still too sensitive for this, leave it out and maybe just add a tiny bit more salt to your liking. I find a full shot glass of this to be too much for me still, but half seems to be OK. Also I know fermentation is not peat, so if your trying to stay peat, just leave this out
