i'm on a very limited budget so i have been sticking to the same foods week after week. it's just easier because i know what i can eat and i have learned to budget myself pretty well. aside from being bored to tears with my diet, does it have any (positive or negative) effects on my body? will it promote weight loss or prevent it?

Some people can eat the same thing day in and day out and not have a problem with it. When my brother in law was diagnosed with celiac, he ate eggs every single day for over 2 months and did develop an intolerance to them. I try to rotate eggs, corn, and other high profile potential intolerance foods to every three days. As far as weight loss or gain, it depends on what you are eating. If you are mostly eating whole foods with a good balance of protein, you shouldn't gain any weight. I've stopped eating all the gluten free substitues (but still eat corn tortillas, corn chips, and brown rice moderately) and have lost a few pounds. I lost over 10 pounds in two weeks before diagnosing but gained them back with gluten free breads and goodies. Now I just save those for special treats and your right they are expensive!

I also was eating a lot of the same foods everyday and developed additional intolerances, my doctor put me on the rotation diet which has helped and she said the more often you eat something the more likely you will develop an allergy or intolerance to it.

I must agree with what the others posted!! they are right. don't do that. it is toxifying your body and it is most likely that you develop an intolerance + it is not healthy. you are missing vitamins from other sources. the 4-day rotation is working perfect.

Not only does it increase your risk of developing an intolerance, it's not balanced. You are missing out on a lot of other nutrients that you would be getting from eating a variety of foods. You're getting the same things over and over again, besides you'll eventually burn out on it (it sounds like you already have).

I am one who tends to eat the same thing day after day, except for dinner. That's usually different. But my breakfast is the same and my lunch is the same until I tire of it and then I switch to something else. My daughter is always yapping at me and telling me I'll become allergic. She is on the rotation diet now after outgrowing some of her allergies.

I think it is best if you can to at least have some variation in there. For years I ate nothing but a big salad for dinner each night. But it was not the same day after day. I varied the vegetables I put in there, sometimes adding fruit and also varying the nuts I put on top.

ok, i guess i'll have to expand my shopping list next week!

can someone elaborate on a rotation diet? is it just as simple as eating a particular food for a few days and then moving onto another? (seems like such a dumb question but i want to make sure i get it!)

Just google rotation diet and you will get lots of info about it. It's too complicated to explain in a few words. The idea is NOT to eat the same food for at least three days, then you can repeat it. ----- or something like that===== I tried it, but it was too tedious for me. :)

It is complicated to explain but if you want I can go into detail for you just let me know.

The info you get when google it is confusing and I only found it mildly helpful

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
