If this goes well, you can try other fruits and vegetables.

- The practitioner has told you which acute reactions you should stop at (such as acute skin rash, severe vomiting, acute cough, chest tightness). Act as agreed in advance with the practitioner and contact a doctor if necessary. If possible, take pictures of the (skin) reaction.
