Talk to a doctor or dietitian before attempting Whole30 or any other restrictive diet to make sure it’s safe for you, especially if you have an underlying medical condition.

If you suspect you may have a food intolerance or allergy, work with a dietitian to help identify what food is causing discomfort.
