"Psilocybin makes nicer people
Hi guys,
I'll be jointing my first ayahuasca ceremony this weekend, and the facilitator has emailed me a list of foods to avoid in the few days prior. I'm wondering what the significance of the diet is, and how important it is to follow.
Here is the list of foods to avoid for 2-3 days:
All fermented foods including cheese, yogurt, yeast bread, preserved meats, wine, beer and cider(or any alcoholic beverages). Red meat, nuts, mushrooms, avocados, ripe bananas, dried fruit, strong caffeinated drinks.
I'm curious to know whether these foods are avoided due to interactions with aya? Or is it more for gastrointestinal comfort? I could understand you'd want to avoid dairy and some fruits/veggies, or bread if you are sensitive to lactose, FODMAPs or gluten, respectively. And I get avoiding caffeine and alcohol, but I don't really understand why red meat would need to be avoided as it's arguably the easiest thing in the world to digest due to the lack of fibre.
Can anyone help enlighten me about this stuff?
Thanks
