    Dylan, pretty much everyone on this forum has been giving you the same advice. We are giving you this advice because we have also been there, done it and bought 20 flippin' t-shirts. As I said in my many replies to your copious PM's to me YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR DIET. Before you do anything, you need to eliminate ALL processed food. Take the ...

    Eric Schlosser's 'Fast Food Nation' is another book that goes into the background of Meat production and the horror stories around it. Although it was written mainly from the States aspect it covers the World aspect too as companies like McDonalds are global. Interesting book but I had a job to stick to the concentrated print and the story-like format,...

    I think I would get very flu-like after eating squash for a few hours - I'd also get a very large stomach!!! (I know what you meant Sherry, but it was funny all the same! Just depends on how you read it!) Reminds me of the night I was telling my daughter that a bird flew into my bedroom. "I didn't tell you I had a bird fly in my room the other...

    Oh yes Laurie - worse? Darn right it is. Governments who could make the changes are all held to ransom by huge business so are basically nothing more than puppets. Yes, perhaps processes are more sanitary (in certain countries) and 'elf n safety are on the button but it doesn't mean that the actual food is any better for us. The food industry...

    Thanks for the encouragement Laurie. It is good to know that at least one person is listening I do also believe that although many, like Robert Atkins, Ornish, and Elaine Gottschall et al have many 'right' aspects, none of them gets all of it right all of the time. We are all very different and the damage to our bodies can be very different so...

    Babies guts are apparently sterile before they are born. They start to ingest bacteria the moment they enter the world and a considerable amount of that comes from the mother. If the baby is breast-fed he will acquire bacteria through the breast milk, but if bottle fed the bacteria will be different. We are kind of damned if we do and damned if we don...

    Antibiotics are, amongst other drugs and substances one of the most likely suspects in gut dysbiosis. It stands to reason really. They kill the bad guys, but on the way they kill the good ones too. The good bacteria is there for gut and immune support and as a defense mechanism to protect us from the pathogens. People with good gut flora do not get...

    It is very common for people to be intolerant of other foods, particularly carbs - corn, soy and rice among them. A lot cannot digest carbs properly and gut damage will often predispose people to Leaky Gut syndrome which allows particles through into the bloodstream that shouldn't be there, setting up further intolerances and allergic reactions. I believe...

    Way to go, Ken! It is a little gem. Not highbrow or intellectual but full of, as you rightly say, common sense. The thing is - she used the diet over fifty years ago to cure her daughter's UC. Judy is now in her late fifties and fit and healthy. She lives on a property with land that keeps her family in fresh home-grown food and tends to eat about...

    ARCHIVED Gastroparesis?

    AliB replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    What is in the enteral food? I ask that because so many do not recover on a gluten-free diet, even though they are intolerant of it. The problem is often far more complex than that and I firmly believe that gut dysbiosis caused by stress and trauma, or certain drugs including antibiotics that decimate the good gut flora and leave us vulnerable to infestation...

    Dawn, can you post the recipe for your chicken egg salad?? Sounds good. Any new recipes picked up over the holiday by anyone??

    I am sure that there is a definite causal link between allergies and Leaky Gut. The more damage there is to the gut, the more allergic the responses. I thought that the fact you said that you have become allergic to antibiotics quite pointed. Anyone who reads my posts will be familiar with the fact that I am convinced that a lot of our health issues...

    Hi Diane. Welcome to the forum. It is a healing diet that removes anything processed and 'added to', all grains, starches and most dairy products. It concentrates on good wholesome (and preferably organic) meat, fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables, nuts, honey and home-made 24-hour live probiotic yogurt for gut 'reflorestation'. As more people are latching...

    Yoekie, the thing is whether you believe in it or not, Candida exists. It is medically documented. Granted, a lot of doctors consider it of little importance, but they said the same thing about Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Just because they don't accept something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Although, yes there is a lot of quackery out...

    I am not sure that one month gluten-free would necessarily be long enough to show any positive results. Whilst some get a result pretty much immediately, others can take longer. My issues were not confined to gluten but incorporated dairy and most carbs too. My digestion just does not cope with them very well at all. Whilst I got immediate relief with...

    That is interesting Cady about the chicken. I often get a lot of mucous after chicken soup - I'm bunged up for a good 2 hours or so after - it could be gluten, although I don't react to it much any more, but I suppose it could be something else in the chicken - anti-biotics??? I dread to think what they inject them, or feed them with these days. I seem...

    Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and cramps are symptoms of digestive distress and inflammation in the colon. The sciatic nerve runs down the back of the pelvis , through the buttocks and down each leg to the foot. Nerve pains very often occur not necessarily at the site of the inflammation but at the nerve endings. I twigged it was my digestion some weeks...

    As my name has already been mentioned I will add my five eggs.......! Amongst other things (Osteo-arthritis, scoliosis, spondylosis, sciatica) my husband has FM. When I had to go gluten-free back in Jan he decided to do it with me (I think he thought I was having special food and didn't want to be left out!!!). We have both been gluten-free for 11 months...

    I have just started the oil-pulling experiment. This is my second day. I have had quite a bit of mucous and couldn't wake up this morning - I slept until 11.30! I do have sunflower oil but it is a bit old as I haven't been using it. I bought some Walnut oil to try as my local store did not have any untoasted sesame oil. It will be interesting to...

    Elaine does say on the BTVC site that if Candida is an issue for you it is best to restrict the fruit for a while - it doesn't hurt to have a little, but to just keep to a minimum. I have been on SCD for 9 months. I have to admit I have not been nearly as disciplined as I would have wished. The Candida has slowed down but is still around. I did read...
  21. AliB
    Quite a few of us on here are following the SCD and getting good results. Although it is a long-term healing diet there are plenty good things to eat on it, although it does involve more prep and cooking than plain gluten-free because it cuts out the processed 'off the shelf' foods, gluten-free or otherwise, that are do damaging to the body. As you have...

    This is an interesting research link. It picks up on the problems with oral Candida and other pathogens. Open Original Shared Link That may be one reason why anti-fungals only manage to keep the infection at bay and not destroy it. Because it is present in the mouth, every time we eat or swallow we are sending more of the little beggars down the...
  23. AliB
    If you have any of the health issues I listed in my earlier post then Candida is certainly an issue. If you suffer with fatigue and any number of other health issues then it may well be an issue. Did you read the info on the link I posted above? One sure test is the 'spit' test. Get a clean glass of water. Swish some saliva around your mouth for...

    Yes, technically it is a yeast which can become a fungus and as such does not respond to anti-bacterial treatment - but basically it is just a different type of microbe. I usually specify bacteria, yeasts and parasites in my posts, but obviously didn't this time. Unfortunately, just 'writing a prescription' for anti-fungals is not always the answer as...
  25. AliB
    Yup, I agree. I would not say that my food bill is any more expensive than it was when I was filling my cupboards with rubbish. I am just smug in the knowledge that everything (well, nearly everything!) in my cupboards is good for me and my family! It hasn't stopped me buying more than I need to 'in case I run out' then having to throw it away because...
