Getting Started - Changing your diet
Food Combining is designed to improve your quality of life. It is not a penance that you should endure. It will keep you alert and fit and following it should not make you anxious and worried.
Any move towards the Food Combining lifestyle will help you improve your health and fitness. It is not an all or nothing diet, and it doesn't have to be adopted in full all at once.
It's even better if you don't change too quickly! The digestive system needs time to adapt to the new improved regime and to new foods. But start by reducing your consumption of sugar / fat mixtures such as biscuits, cake and pastry, and replace them with fresh fruit.
Try not to eat until you are hungry, don't eat out of habit, and don't eat everything just because it is offered to you. Drink whenever you are thirsty, clean water is always the best way to quench a thirst.
The next step is to reduce your intake of concentrated protein - meat, fish, cheese, beans to just one meal a day.
Slowly increase the amount of exercise that you take. It need only be by a couple of minutes each day.

Some foods require an acid environment and some foods require an alkaline environment. I think gastic or acid enzymes. If I am working on keeping my system alkaline, opposed to acid for healths sake.
What am I to eat with what?
I tested my saliva this morning, it is alkaline, I did not know what to eat with coleslaw at lunch, so I just age it alone.
Please make it more simple. I need 'examples of meals' that go together for combining the right foods for digesting.
Thank you very much.

HI,
I have been looking at this food combining diet because my little girl is a coeliac, who despite an incredibly strict diet is still really suffering with diorrhea. She has been taken off Soya and fructose (By the dietician) as well and to be honest she just sems to be fading away, all food seems to be poisoning her system.
Would the fodd combing diet help her, or could you provide me with more information to take to her consultant.
Many thanks
Rhian

You don't mention cows milk and products made from it such as butter and cheese.
Cows milk is often a problem alongside gluten and soya. Cows milk products also get into many other spreads and manufactured foods.
If there is no response with the elimination of gluten, soya and cows milk, then it is a task for the consultant.
If your child is under weight and continues to lose weight you should ask to see a consultant as a matter of urgency.
While keeping to the diet, you should ensure that your child eats as wide a variety of foods as possible, with fresh meat, fish and starch such as potato and rice, and oil such as olive oil. There should be sufficient fibre in the diet - dried fruit such as raisins, dates and figs are good sources. Try and vary the meals content each day and look for any changes in your child that might be a reflection of what she is eating. A detailed diary of exactly what she eats and drinks and her health may help the consultant.
I wouldn't suggest complicating it any further.
