One way to find out about what your body likes and dislikes is by thinking back to your childhood. What did you like and not like? When you were a child you had a natural dislike for foods which harmed you, since you were not used to them yet. They say that taste is aquired, but when you are a child you have obviously not aquired tastes completely but act more as a blank slate for what the body wants. Point in case, people who are gluten-intolerant often become addicted to gluten as time passes by.
I for one hated bread and milk, but loved meat. I loved fruits and vegetables too. I think this might have something to do with my Asian heritage; and I do believe that heritage can determine what kind of foods you tolerate. Today I am a vegetarian for ethical reasons but I am wondering how healthy this can be, as my digestion and health has deteriorated. Taking B-complex vitamins and Omega-3 pills helps, though. Since I am an adult I can now decide what I want to eat, and I no longer eat bread or milk. On the rare occasion that I do, I react badly, especially to milk.
