    You certainly don't have to eat meat. But, you do have to eat fat and protein. My favorite source of fat and protein is AVOCADO...and guess what, it's also full of fiber and magnesium and B vitamins, etc. I also like nuts, especially walnuts and almonds, and those are relatively high calorie, high protein, and high fat. All these things are very high...

    I assume the shots also have folate - the B12 shot is not too helpful w/o that. Anyway, I don't know how to answer. When I got them for a month or so, I didn't notice any difference. Of course I had not actually tested low on either folate or B12, and when they did check, I was high in folate. Hope someone has answers for you. Take care.

    I have not been diagnosed with candida, but fit the profile of someone who would have issues with it (past use of prednisone, etc.) What I find is that by cutting out all grains, sugars, and fruits (and most starchy vegetables), I get relief from the issues of bloating and discharge. If I eat sugar (for a few days) or fruit, I get the symptoms again. And...

    Folks have been giving good advice. I just wanted to say that my digestive systems prefers raw food. I am much less likely to have stomach problems (or intestinal problems) when I eat raw. That said, I don't mean lots of nuts or cabbagy foods. Often these comfort foods like rice are not easy to digest. I don't eat any grains and since then, my stomach...

    I don't avoid carbs - I don't eat grains. This means that sweet potato and yam and squash are still good for me (I don't eat potato for other reasons). All foods except animals have some carbs. In fact, nuts have more carbs than protein - nonetheless, they are considered a protein food. What you want to think about is the "refined" nature of the carb...

    BRUMI1968 replied to MELINE's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I had this problem for a while, where I had a lot of undigested food in the loo every time I relieved myself. I had it tested, and they did not say I had malabsorption, though I don't know what their critera was (regular lab at school that isn't too tuned in to digestive disorders...) I started using digestive enzymes and Betain HCI for a while, and it...

    Ani Phyo's cookbook is great as it does not require much in the way of dehydration. I don't eat eggplant (the only nightshade I eat is tomato)...so can't help there.

    I read an interesting thing about PB actually, which said the worst kind you can get is the grind it yourself kind. This article suggested that unlike some other foods, you want to pick a mainstream brand that goes off the shelves quickly. Peanuts have a big problem with mold, so if you have any issues with candida, you'll want to avoid it. I avoid...

    As to the hayfever...I read someplace that it takes about five years to redevelop hayfever for a new location. I don't know if that's true, but I did read it someplace (and was excited, because I'm moving to the desert). I only have alder tree pollen hayfever, so it gets over pretty quickly in the spring. ...I had a rant here, but rants rarely change...

    Please read "Our Daily Meds" if possible. I under no circumstances would take a drug for something that I can control with diet. And please consider this: what phrama company wouldn't want the market of 1 in every 130 Americans. What with the lax laws about marketing drugs in America (putting kids books about OCD drugs in our national and school libraries...

    BRUMI1968 replied to MELINE's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    You're not also thirsy, are you? I ask because high levels of hunger and thirst can be signs of diabetes.
  12. BRUMI1968
    I also crave peanut butter, but I don't think I should eat it because I don't do well with beans, and I've read that PB has a lot of mold issues. One thing is that it sounds like you were at least (still are?) eating lots of baked goods. These will put the weight on whether gluten-based or not. It is hard to give them up. I used baked sweet potato...

    ARCHIVED Neuropath Help

    BRUMI1968 replied to blondebombshell's topic in Doctors

    I do not know about a specific Naturopath (ND). I have seen several ND's over my lifetime, and have found great success. The best one for me turned out to be someone who focused on a style (style is not a good word, I just can't think of what else I might call it). He is from India, and is an MD in India...so he practices Ayurveda. I'm sure other folks...

    Did something happen around the time you were 7 or 8 that started this insomnia I wonder? It almost sounds like maybe it could be something from your past trying to stick around, and manifesting itself that way. Wow...did I just write that new agey stuff?

    Is vog some sort of volcanic fog? What about those parasites that enter through your barefeet, get into your lungs to make you cough, then you swallow them and they end up in your digestive tract? Or what about poisonous millipedes or shark attacks? Okay, there's not much I can say about how awful you've got it.

    Will look for those today. I have made avocado soup myself - mostly just the ingredients for guac, but the thinned out a bit. Yum! I'm on my way over there to Hawaii. Probably someplace in Kauai, but possible the wet side of Maui. I'll build my shack and plant some avocados and be in heaven in no time. I'm a little scared of tropical storms, though...

    I want to admit up front that I have not read this post. I am going off the title. I am reading a book called "Our Daily Meds" which I would suggest to you all. (Melody Petersen). You can 100% bet the mortgage that with 1 in 133 Americans probably suffering Celiac, drug companies are going to start selling their snake oil all across America. I for...

    This reminds me of a book I'm reading: "Our Daily Meds", which is about the pharmaceutical industry and their chokehold on Americans. So far, really good book, and eye opening. I'm not on any meds, but most folks I know are on at least one thing. Anyway, one thing they mentioned were tests, and how tests are another way both doctors (who took a big...

    Aches and Pains could easily be a nightshade problem (tomato, potato, eggplant, peppers [not black pepper], tobacco [not sweet potato]). These can not only leach calcium in their digestion, they can also cause lots of trouble for those with arthritis. Even aside from those things, lots of folks with joint/bone pain feel relief quitting those nightshades...

    I seem good with the fats, for the most part. The stench-fest literally started about the same time I hit the jar of tahini and found amaranth. I don't want it to be the amaranth since I finally have a breakfast I like. I don't want it to be the tahini cause I'm hot for my new salad dressings. But I will admit this - I think about the tahini like while...

    What is your avocado soup? I prefer (of the Haas) avocados from Chile. The ones from Mexico have zero flavor to them. I have not tried the smooth skinned ones at the co-op mostly because I can't tell if the buggers are ripe. They don't seem so. I am planning on moving to the Soutwest and building an earthship so I can grow my own avocados in my living...
  22. BRUMI1968
    Okay. I think I'll change the sesame first, since I really appreciate the calories from the amaranth. If that no worky, it is likely the amaranth. Really, I"ve been eating it every day, so it could well be the problem. I wonder how lectin-y amaranth and sesame are. I have troubles with most lectins, but do alright with walnuts and almonds, but not...

    I am about 75% or so raw, maybe a little more. My stomach has never been happier, and my bowels are great too. The challenge for me is keeping on weight. I'm currently dropping again, despite my desperate attempts to eat enough amaranth (cooked) for breakfast to offset my virtually calorieless raw diet. I read a really interesting thing on the raw diet...

    Okay. I'm usually no more or less farty than the next person. But lately, I've been an unstoppable machine of farting. Perhaps it is the global energy crisis - I'm subconsciously trying out methane as a form of propulsion (so far I have not been knocked far enough to make it worth exploration). Okay...so I'm making noises...but it is the SMELL that is...

    ARCHIVED Fiber

    BRUMI1968 replied to donnal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Actually, fruits and vegetables are by far and away a better source of fiber than whole grains. Check out avocados, for example. Yummy, good fat, lots of potassium, and lots of fiber. Fried fruits of course are good, but they come with lots of sugar (releases more slowly due to fiber, but nonetheless can cause gas quite badly, says me from personal experience...
