Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions - Bit Of A Long Shot But -

Hi. I came across this book on Amazon and wondered if anyone has it and what you think of it. I don't think it is particularly gluten-free but does focus on good unprocessed food in information and recipes.

It is quite a big tome and fairly expensive, but as I am interested in this subject, particularly as it apparently also features quite a bit on fermented foods and probiotic yogurt etc., I would be interested in some feedback before committing myself.

There are several blogs devoted to this sort of cooking. You could try those for awhile.

here's a couple:

Here's a online magazine from one of the chapters

Open Original Shared Link

I have the book and it is a real mixed bag. I can recommend your buying a used copy, but

don't shell out for a new one unless you check it out of the library first.In general, I like the

idea of eating more fats (natural fats) and preparing foods in traditional ways, but there are

pretty wacky bits of info in the sidebars - it is a lot more than a cookbook.They are very anti -

pressure cooker and microwave, BTW. There are yahoo groups devoted to NT eating and kefir grains if you have questions.

If you want to ferment things, I've read that the Fallon recipes are not particularly reliable (too

salty?) and that the book Wild Fermentation is better. I have that one too, but I haven't used it

much yet. the reciipes are more detailed and I feel more confident about them than Fallon's.

However, there are lots of fermenting blogs too.

Whatever you decide I hope you have fun and post on your fermentation experiments!

I have it. It has some useful bits, but overall, I wouldnt buy it again. I tried fermenting some gluten-free grains using the instructions in the book and it made my blood sugar really skyrocket. Maybe I will dig it out again and see if anything looks appealing this go around.

Thanks Guys - I didn't get any response to this so I went ahead and ordered it anyway last night! I'll tell you what I think of it when it comes - I did buy a used copy but it was still a bit on the expensive side - I've ordered her 'Eat Fat, Lose Fat' book too. At the end of the day my brain works well enough for me to be able to figure out what seems to work best for me so I tend to just absorb what is relevant from a publication and ignore the rest!

I must admit I do think that there is a lot to be said for many of the old ways of preparing and presenting food around the World. It's a case generally of 'if it ain't broke, don't mend it'.

We're in this mess precisely because people have tried to 'mend' it and have just ended up interfering and meddling in things that really should be left well alone.

It is interesting that Weston Price found that when certain cultures deviated from their traditional diet, that is when physical problems started to manifest. Perhaps their gut flora was balanced in such a way to be able to deal with their own traditional diet and eating different food threw the whole thing out of balance?

It kind of begs the question, well what about Nomads? But even then I suppose they still would have had traditional food and would have picked up what they needed for it on their travels.

Interesting concept. We of course have such a mish-mash of different culture type foods that perhaps it is no wonder that our poor guts are completely bewildered!

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      There is a good paper here on causes of seronegative villous blunting. The most common is seronegative coeliac disease. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Desperately in need of some advice of possible 🫠 (sorry for the long post but I’m one exhausted mama) My daughter is just gone 2 years old, for as long as I can remember she’s had problems with her stomach, she was diagnosed with a Dairy and Soy allergy so has been dairy and soya free since around 7 weeks old. I’ve been begging the doctors to listen to me and to look into it, I came across celiac disease a few months ago and pushed for her to be tested. Some of her symptoms are  - Extreme stomach pain, she’s never had a night where she isn’t rolling around in her bed screaming in pain (not just a cry, she will be fast asleep and then let out a high pitch scream and start crying) this will go on all night! - Gas, I know gas is normal but she just doesn’t stop all day and night, and it smells so so bad! You can hear her from the other rooms in the house  - Bloating  - Slow growth and weight gain she’s still in 9-12 size clothes at 28 months - Iron deficiency  - Diarrhoea or constipated, or really mushy  - Constantly tired  - Complains of leg pains and gets cramps - Mouth Ulcers  - Gets infections like ear and tonsillitis every few weeks She’s super super fussy with food and just won’t eat! So trying to get gluten into her wasn’t easy as most days she just point blanks refuses  She had her blood test done last week and they said it came back clear but was showing she was pretty anemic! We are currently waiting for a referral to see a pedantic doctor and her dietician.  Im just completely exhausted, she’s constantly poorly and miserable and I hate seeing her like this and being fobbed of by doctors who just don’t seem to understand that I know my baby and I know something isn’t right!  Can the test be unreliable?  Any advice welcome🥺

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  When I looked this one up I didn't see any gluten ingredients.
