Hi, new member here. I've been suffering with God awful symptoms just like the rest of you and have been doing all kinds of research on this stuff. What I've come across is the book "Life Without Bread" by Wolfgang Lutz and Christian Allan. It truly is a life-changing book. It will really open your eyes and help most of you with your issues i guarantee it. I won't go into detail about it here i just wanted to let you all know because i feel it has had a profound impact on my health and i want to help others, because it so simple and provides so much relief... i feel like my old self again.

I just read the review of this book and it looks really interesting. Thanks for positing this! It looks like it will really be a great addition to my library. Personally I have found I have to tread an even keel and practice moderation with the carb/protein/fat thing since I have tender kidneys that don't want an excess of protein. Nevertheless I have done well veering more towards the low carb diet and certainly do eat my share of fats and oils as well as meat--and whole milk in the form of 24 hour fermented yogurt (to avoid the lactose).

I have noticed with books proposing a nutritional theory that the thing to remember is that we are all a bit different. Its better in my opinion to do trial and error and see what works best for oneself--though it seems eating a lot of greens and staying off processed foods and sugars is best for most everyone.. whether or not one eats a lot of meat vs carbs etc. or not or is a vegetarian. Just wish I could eat beans, fruit, nuts and more eggs and cheese without ill effect!

Yes, I agree. I first believed that food allergies were the problem, or possibly some kind of infection, then maybe Celiacs disease. I tried a Gluten-free Casein-free diet, then the SCD diet. While helpful, it didn't resolve my issues. This book basically takes the SCD diet a bit further by limiting all carbs, including fruits, to 72 grams a day. But its also unique in that it promotes the liberal consumption of fats and protein. truth is, I think everyone can benefit from this diet. I agree we're all biochemically unique in our own way; but i think humans in general are not designed for high carb consumption, which has become glaringly obvious to me at this point

I've read other books that indicate the dangers of a high carb diet (these are not diet books, these are health books). "Life Without Bread" actually confirms this with clinical proof. And its not difficult either. Once you feel the benefits, you won't even question it. Its a must read, its very thorough and will most likely address any skepticisms you might have. Also check out "Good Calories, Bad Calories" another good read.

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
