Pea shoots (sprouts) - okay on FID?
Seeking clarification over these.
The Healthy Skin Kitchen book that I have just received (thankyou!) says they are very good.
I can't find them on the Foodfinder.
Are they okay for FID?
I'd love to try them, if so.
(I am already eating Mung Bean Sprouts)
Many thanks in advance for advice.

Hi - thanks for asking.
I have been doing FID for 5 months. It's been slow, but the point is, I have got there.
FID has been amazing. I have been eating well across the range and using AM and PM over the past couple of months.
The comparison with where I was before I started is unbelievable.
I am now 80% clear. My skin is so much stronger than it has ever been.
And I say 80% just because I still have some fading 'footprints' on my legs and still get the odd, random, superficial leopard spot rash on my chest/neck/shoulder/torso area. I suspect this rash is part of the natural healing process and it is just last to go - my skin here is still very easily triggered and very sensitive - as I can't find a trigger within the current diet/environment.
I started to reintroduce about a month ago by testing amines, I started with trout and salmon as I needed more calcium from food. The fresh trout was fine, the fresh salmon I reacted to; I did leave a gap, but it still could have been an accumulation in amines (or just yucky farmed salmon with who knows what in it!) I'll try them both another time. I then had to wait for that to clear and I then started to trial an antihistamine for the random leopard spots. I have just come to the end of that trial so in a few days I will see if that was having an effect - and I'll also be ready to start testing again!
I will definitely use the pea sprouts I have. That's good.
Just for guidance - is it better in the main, though, to go back to testing amines first, then to salicylates, as in the ED book, or can I do salicylates first, for example, or can I alternate - ie whatever my body feels right to do?
