So I recently got back from a vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A good portion of what I eat bothers my stomach...I am actually eliminating wheat for 2 weeks to find out if I have an allergy to it. However, I decided to wait until I returned from my trip to start the 2-week elimination. I had been avoiding it before I went away for about a week and felt very good. While in Mexico I abandoned my wheat restriction and ate what I wanted. Much to my surprise I had barely any stomach issues! I was eating more dairy, beans, carbs (corn tortilla's, white-flour quesadilla's, cookies). I think I even lost a few pounds even though I ate more than usual and didn't do much in the way of exercise.
I've heard of many people who are allergic to dairy or lactose intolerant have no symptoms when they travel to parts of Europe even the raw milk is widely used, but I didn't think my issues would go away because at home I buy raw milk products whenever possible.
Has anyone else had an experience where international travel has led to better digestion? If so, I'd love to hear about it. I eat pretty pure as a general rule so I am very surprised by my experience in Mexico.
