Hi,
I really want to make these sausages but I can't find anywhere that sells oatmeal, someone said it's the same as porridge, would that do? Thanks Rachel See more of this discussion:Cooking on a budget

If the child looks as malnourished as you suggest you have to ensure that the child's doctor is aware of this. There may be other things wrong with the child, but you have to make sure that this is not starvation. If your niece won't allow you to go with her to see the doctor, you have to ensure that the social support services are aware of the situation. You must check yourself that the doctor has recently seen the child - unfortunately you cannot always rely on the childs parent in a situation like this

My niece is into the food combining and has lost 25 lbs. She also has a 2 1/2 old child and has him on food combining as well. She still breastfeeds him. He constantly falls down as he doesn't have the muscle mass in his legs to withstand falls and there is next to nothing in muscle mass. Isn't this going to far and isn't this dangerous? He doesn't have the thickness in his legs as other toddlers do. I believe in healthy eating for everyone, but shouldn't infants through toddlers be eating organic baby jarred food? She won't even allow him that and our whole family is told not to feed him this and not to feed him that. We feel it is on the verge of starvation for this child. Please advise as to what I can do for him.

No matter what I try I can't get to stay where I should be (ideally weight) I'm 54 yrs and weigh 196 lbs (with clothes minus shoes). not interested in diet pills but exercise can be hectic when I'm up since 2:30 am then afternoon comes and to burned out/tired to walk and if I do, it's no fun either... think I'm eating the wrong food. I've already cut out the coke/soda pop now thinking of cutting out or at least 90\% of food that contains flour... what do you think

| newbie to food combining - questions | Posted by Rachel on 2009-06-08 (message id=4171 ) |

New to food combining and have a few questions?
1) Kefir works well for me for my digestion. With food combining, can I add raw pumpkin seeds and almonds to Kefir? Also, what fruits can I add on top of this? 2) Rice and beans make a complete protein so can I eat starchy vegetables with it? 3) I love miso soup, so can I had have tofu with miso bean paste - it's all protein right? 4) So basically, I can eat proteins with vegetables and other proteins & fats, starchy food with vegetables, beans could be eaten with protein or starch right?

Hi Sue
Try the Best Bet Diet pages. This diet is primarily for MS sufferers who also must stay away from yeast and also generally often eaten products (legumes, sugar, dairy etc). Best thing to do is search on the best bet diet for recipe ideas. A big salad would probably steer u through at lunch (one you make yourself as a bit of a brown-baggin it thing for lunch). It won't kill you and it will ultimately help your health! Rachael See more of this discussion:Yeast free

Here is a web page with ideas; http://www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com/candidadiet.html You don't have to buy any product from the website. Just follow the tips for the diet. Good Luck!!! P.S. if you want to kill the yeast/fungi inside of you, search on line for the best prices for: oregano oil, cold pressed coconut oil, or candida clear capsules and acidophilus. (I'm on a very strict diet and taking these natural medicines for the yeasts that I have. I get acid reflux together with the yeasts so, it's pretty bad in comes as spitting a lot from eating sugary products.) Please post more ideas on what to eat if you hace any.

Did you click on the 'AS Food Guide" link on the kickas.org website? It gives you a list of all the foods your Dad can eat. We AS sufferers pretty much need to go without any breads. For snacks I like baked apples with honey and cinnamon on them, sugar free jello, raisins, a bowl of berries, cooked berries with honey and cinnamon, carrots, tuna salad (made with tuna from a pouch, not the can, celery,and real mayonaise). If you spend one day a week preparing some meals and snacks, you can just grab and go the rest of the week.

This is a quote from the paper by Nageswara Rao C ; Narasinga Rao BS
citing a number of other references to published papers where starch adversely effects protein uptake from the same meal. The amount of dietary protein necessary to meet the protein requirement largely depends on the quality of protein. Among the factors which influence the utilization of dietary protein is thought to be the source of carbohydrate. Net protein utilization (NPU) (Miller & Bender, 1955) of proteins of plant origin do not always correlate well with the chemical score (Block & Mitchell, 1946). One of the explanations for this may be that some of the non-protein components, such as carbohydrate, of the food may influence protein utilization. Earlier work from this Institute revealed that there are marked differences in in vitro digestibility of starches from different pulses (Srinivasa Rao, 1969). There is also some information in the literature indicating that protein utilization may be affected by the nature of starch (Chang, Soong & Miller, 1967; Marshall, Womack, Hildebrand & Munson, 1969; Buraczewski, Porter, Rolls & Zebrowska, 1971 ; El-Harith, Dickerson & Walker, 1976). Since in developing countries most of the dietary protein is derived from cereals, tubers and pulses, which are also the main source of carbohydrate (starch) in the diet it was considered important to determine the extent to which starch from different dietary sources influences dietary protein utilization See more of this discussion:Why science supports food combining

In this study (on rats) it is shown that potato starch significantly reduces the utilisation of milk protein in the same meal.
Author(s): Nageswara Rao C ; Narasinga Rao BS Title: Influence of starches from different sources on protein utilization in rats. Source: The British journal of nutrition (Br J Nutr) 1978 Jul; 40(1): 1-8 Additional Info: ENGLAND Standard No: ISSN: 0007-1145 (Print); NLM Unique Journal Identifier: 0372547 Language: English Abstract: 1. The role of the starch component of cereals and legumes on the utilization of casein-protein was studied. 2. In comparison with maize starch the legume and potato starches caused a significant lowering of net protein utilization (NPU). And this reduction in NPU could be partially restored by cooking the diets before they were fed to the rats. 3. It is suggested that in NPU studies involving rats the experimental diet should always be cooked so that the conclusions drawn may be applicable to human diets See more of this discussion:Why science supports food combining

In this study, as the protein content of the food goes up, its digestibility goes down:
Research Paper Digestibility index and factors affecting rate of starch digestion in vitro in conventional food preparation A. Urooj *, Sh. Puttraj University of Mysore, Department of Studies in Food Science and Nutrition, Manasagangotri, IND-Mysore-570 006, India. *Correspondence to A. Urooj, University of Mysore, Department of Studies in Food Science and Nutrition, Manasagangotri, IND-Mysore-570 006, India. ABSTRACT The rate of starch hydrolysis in ten cereal-based food preparations was studied using an in vitro dialysis system. The foods were incubated with human saliva and porcine pancreatin. The sugars released after 3 h digestion were expressed as digestibility index (DI), the percentage starch digested was determined and correlated with the degree of gelatinization (DG). Granule morphology was also investigated and related with starch availability for hydrolysis. Significant differences were observed in the in vitro starch digestibility of the 10 foods (P > 0.05). The DI ranged from 53 for chapathi to 78 for rice flakes. DI was inversely related to the protein (r = -0.79, P > 0.01), fat (r = -0.63, P > 0.05) and energy (r = -0.61, P > 0.01). Percent starch digested was inversely related to the insoluble (r = -0.49, P > 0.05) and total dietary fiber (r = -0.63, P > 0.01) content of the foods. The SEM results provided a better understanding of granular morphology on cooking and the effect of protein on limiting DG. The results suggest that carbohydrate foods of potential use in the therapeutic diets may be identified by their in vitro digestion characteristics.

This is such B.S. This would mean that one should only eat raw beans or rice (or oats or corn or peas etc) or any other food that has both starch and proteins and or fat as components (which are legion). So very few foods are entirely protein or entirely starches or sugars or fats. So to eat at all our bodies have developed over the millenia the ability to digest different combinations of nutrients just fine. Notice that there was no reply giving the source of the so called research stated above, even after it was requested by readers of the column. This is not to say that the research doesn't exist, perhaps it does. But we are not given the opportunity to evaluate it for ourselves. Common sense, having a well rounded diet high in fiber sources (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) and moderation in consumption of high caloric foods will produce greater health benefits than any contortioning "eating systems". Our bodies need proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. For the most part the more raw plant based sources of nutrition are the more nutrients and fiber is available to our bodies. But even this is not always the case, Olives, eggplants, potatoes, most types of mushrooms, spinach (and any other extremely fibrous leafy greens) either produce toxins, or are not bioavaiable raw or should be avoided in large amounts. The point is, don't believe everything you read. Check it out for yourself... yes even the stuff I've written here.

Since many foods contain both starches and proteins you cannot always have a starch meal with no protein, or a protein meal with no starch. Artificially purified meals are not very healthy anyway.

There is a strong possibility that the arthritis is a response to grains in the diet and not rheumatoid.
I would go back to the diet you tried last summer, and stick to it for several months to see if the symptoms go away again. If they do go away you have confirmed it is the diet. Gluten from wheat, oats, barley is known to cause symptoms very similar to arthritis.

Last summer I spent two months eating vegs, fruit, meat, fish and dairy (and caffeine) - no grains, no sugar, no alcohol. Noticed that my hands and feet lost all signs of the mild and fluctuating edema that had been around for quite a while.
In the fall I went back to moderate amounts of grains, yeast, sugar, alochol. After about a month I developed hot, swollen, tender hands and feet. Several medical appointments later, this has all been diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis, with mild symptoms but 'aggressive'. So now I'm trying to figure out the food contribution. It's very clear that staying away from yeast, alcohol and probably sugar reduces symptooms. Currently I'm doing an elimination diet with a plan of adding things back in slowly to see what is ok for me and what's not. But I'm concerned that rice is one of the mainstays of the elimination diet and I think it may be a problem for me. I'm encouraged to read about other people for whom grains in general may be an issue, and to consider that there might be alternatives. See more of this discussion:Re: Intolerance to grains and rice

| Rice problems | Posted by Jared on 2009-03-31 (message id=4082 ) |

I have for the last 6 or more months been suffering from extreme fatigue and bloating immediately after meals and generally feeling "down". I isolated the major contributor to this condition to rice. As i live in the Carribean and rice is the staple, i have been eating mostly meat and salad and beans for the past few weeks. Potatoes dont have any efffect and bread with cheese will make me feel drowsy. i eat corn flakes with granola and milk daily and this has no effect. My question to you all is; Should i be worried about this being a symptom of something else or is my body just mad at me for all the rice that i've been eating?

| Eat whole grain cereals not highly refined flour | Posted by Brigette Gallagher on 2009-03-30 (message id=4079 ) |
|
I was told I should not eat any type of flour (especially the refined types), but also to stay away from whole grain flours as well. I don't eat bread, but eat lots of whole grain hot cereal, and I look for cold cereals that list a whole grain (not whole grain flour) as their first ingredient. Since cold cereals seem to be fairly well-processed, is it just a marketing trick to leave off the term "flour", or am I eating the right cereals that list their first ingredient as "whole grain oats", or "whole grain wheat"? The ones I stick to, going off this criteria are: Cheerios, Total, Wheat Chex, and Shredded Wheat (this is of course, not even considering that all but the Shredded Wheat have some small amount of sugar in them).

The inflammatory diseases of the breathing tract, of the nose, sinuses, throat, and bronchi, are due in a large measure to excessive eating.- of sugar and starch or carbohydrate foods. Many of the disease affections of the stomach and intestines are due to excessive sugar and starch eating.
People who eat lots of starches and sugars, and not enough leafy vegetables and fruits, rob their teeth, bones, and blood of a certain percentage of their minerals. It's very simply my brothers and sisters...eat real simply foods! like real fruits and vegetables and herbs, like parsley,thyme,sage etc packed with kick ass antioxidants, your body loves simply carbs,sugars and starches...found in raw fruits and vegetables (not cooked) organic is best because the soil is not robbed of all its powerful micro buddys! Ps don't forget to breath nice and deep as much as you can, get some air in your lungs to feed your body with oxygen, drink clean water...alkalise your body... desease only survives in acidic stomachs...become active, but not over the top (move your ass) i mean all this is a nice way.

br>There is no salt in Sunnyvale organic sprouted wheat bread, this suggests to me that one of the roles salt plays in bread is not applicable, ie. after eating, it balences the acid/alkaline blood composition. What's implied to me is that sprouting alkalises the grain, at least as far as it goes for human digestion. It's the most digestable bread i've ever eaten.

Last year I had extreme eczema. The hospital controlled it with steroids and then wouldn't do any tests to see what was causing it. I went private and found I have intolerances to yeast, nightshade family of plants, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. I have found that there are many alternatives, not least preparing food from fresh and therefore I can adapt recipes. I have no sugar wherever possible and have replaced it if I need to with Pure Sweet, which is Xylitol. You need to avoid all the derivatives, fructose, glucose, etc. Buy a book called 'Fat Round The Middle' available on Amazon, it explains loads about food and how your body deals with it (and why fat collects round our middles.

2) If in the morning I have a glass of milk on its own, does that mean that it will be absorbed straight away and wont keep my energy levels up? 3) Will the protein in the milk will keep me full for a while? 3) what is the best combination for breakfast, is protein from milk and complex carbs from fruit the best combination to slow down the absorbtion of sugars? Any info will be highly appreciated Thank you See more of this discussion:Protein milk cheese yogurt

Hello
There was no date of when your question was posted, if it's not to late - here is what I've learning successfully works for sausage filler. (1) Popped Wholegrain Amaranth (2) Puffed rice, which has been pulverized (like a rice cake put through a food processor.) Roasted pulverized brown rice also works. (3) Any nut meal, like almond flour. Hope that helps. -Sunshine See more of this discussion:The main starch grains rice millet and sorghum

I am allergic to some seafoods, I can eat canned tuna and salmon. I also can eat shrimp and crab. What do I do to substitute those allergenic foods? Do I just keep eating more shrimp, tuna, salmon, and crab. The other fish cause me to go into anaphalatic shock. I dont know why this is. Could it be the water they swim in?

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.

Constipation is often the result of not enough fibre in the diet. But don't increase your fibre intake dramatically over night! Give your body time to adjust.
Dried fruit such as raisins, dates, figs and prunes are excellent sources of fibre, and can form part of your regular daily diet. Another foods to consider is brown rice See more of this discussion:constipation

| Gluten or not? Please help | Posted by Peter on 2009-01-22 (message id=3959 ) |

If you buy the raw potato, cut them up, cook them and mash them, then there is definitely no gluten in them.
If your potato comes out of a packet it may contain gluten. If you buy chips they may contain gluten. If you have a problem with pure potato then it is unlikely to be a problem with gluten. Very occasionally a person is allergic to the potato / tomato family of plants. One of the best ways of getting an idea of what might be the cause is to keep a very detailed diary of exactly what you eat for every meal and every snack. Record every symptom of illness, discomfort or mood. Eat a wide variety of fresh food - but not things that are food mixtures such as ready meals, sauces, cakes, biscuits, manufactured foods etc. Try and make every day a different combination of fresh foods, and don't eat the same thing every day. Then after a month, see if there is any link between what you are eating and the symptoms that you have See more of this discussion:Gluten or not? Please help

Hi: I'm having a little trouble seeing this all as scientifically sound information for a couple of reasons, which I will explain in a minute. I first got interested in this book after reading Healing with Whole Foods Asian Tradition and Modern Nutrition. However, a couple things stood out as a little strange: The first is that under "Why Science and Medicine support food combining" there is no actual evidence that either science or medicine support food combining. It appears to simply be a small summary of the life of Dr. Hay. It talks about how the doctor came to believe that refined foods were unhealthy, and how many diseases could be treated with nutrition rather than drugs. I completely agree with both of these statements, but they have NOTHING to do with the actual practice of food combining! For example: "Dr Hay and others like him became convinced that these diseases could easily be prevented, and indeed cured, by following a more natural lifestyle." I have trouble seeing the correlation here... someone could follow a very natural lifestyle and still have chicken and rice. The other page mentions what happens when one consumes either starch or protein, but fails to explain the supposed hardships the body endures when eating both!!!
Secondly, if this is supposed to be a more "natural" diet, food combining would not be a practice to be followed. I can't give proof, but I think I can say that every culture on earth has some sort of starch/protein meal, that has been around forever, be it potatoes and beef, rice and chicken or game, or fish and porridge.... I can't think of a society who doesn't combine these two nutrients, and this page provides zero evidence that this is actually a practice to be followed other than anecdotal evidence. Perhaps I'm missing something and somebody could fill me in here? I'd appreciate a detailed response, as I am one who is very interested in eating naturally and healthily. Alternatively, one could email me odins_right_hand -at- yahoo.com thanks guys See more of this discussion:Dont mix starch meals with protein meals

Hello All
Due to digestive problems, muscle/joint pain, sinus, heart palpitations, reflux etc. I started to search the internet for answers and came across the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet" which is designed primarily with Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis issues in mind so because I had digestive problems and was desperate I tried it. NO starch (grains), sugar, dairy allowed. Within a very short time ALL the above problems had disappeared. The book that describes the diet and the reasons for it is called "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall. There are many recipes in the book but quite difficult to stick to ..very restrictive... but I felt so bad that I was willing to do it and it paid off. I also read the book by Carol Sinclair "The low starch cookbook " (I think thats its name) and it was very helpful. From my research there is evidence that all auto immune diseases like M.S., A.S. R.A. Crohns. U.C. celiac disease, fibromyalgia etc etc as well as autism, "brain fog", poor memory etc are linked to a digestive system that is not working properly which means that certain foods are not properly digested and things like "leaky gut' syndrome come into play which means that undigested food gets into the bloodstream causing the immune system to attack the body causing these auto immune diseases. YES YES YES I absolutely believe that diet is the answer to many many chronic debilitating diseases and that through diet we can regain our health again! I know I have proved it! As for recipes I make the most fantastic tasty cakes, biscuits and even a pastry with almond meal, many better than "normal" cakes. Not so much joy with breads etc but still good enough to substitue. Just google almond meal recipes or go to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet website www.scdiet.org to find info and links to recipes. I have experimented lots..... God's best to all of you...my heart goes out to you that are struggling .....but "I cried out to God and He helped me" He'll do the same for you...."ask and keep on asking....."

I would just like to clarify how to include breadfruit, plantain, and water chestnuts into the food combining eating method.

Hello!
I am following a yeast free, dairy free diet and for people who just started just a few things to mention that can be good! A lot of Chinese dishes dont contain any yeast and there is nearly no use of milk in chinese cuisine. Things that you can make eaily at home and are tasy: egg-fried rice, tofu, tofu can be grat in saucy dishes (e.g. peppers and tomato sauce), in salads, or for example cooked in a pan with shrimps, spring onion and sweetcorn, you can fry with egg also vegetables, for exmple cucumber or onion. Italian cuisine is very good too and very rich in vegetables. Pastas and risottos are great even without cheese and you can use dairy free margarine to finish, you can also try stuffed vegetables (stuff them with rice, tuna or bacon and or even tofu) or legumes soups, dark lentils are really nice and no real need to use stock, you can use a piece of meat if you like to make it more tasty and add carrots and onion to the soup. Hope it's been useful! Chloe See more of this discussion:Yeast free

Hi,
Coffee is definitely acidic. I think the main thing for you would be to avoid acid foods-which means meat, dairy, sugar (other than sugar from fruits), WHIte bread (VERY Acidic), and simple carbs. Any bread should be from sprouted grains. Your system is probably acid and needs to be alkalised. I think that would help you a lot. You can also take Acidophilus, and/or drink kefir. Candida can keep your system acid, and make you have all these reactions. A yeast (or candida) die-off should take about 3 months, wherein you take acidophilus daily. If it is working you will have some gas and bloating, but dont worry-that means its working. If this does not happen, switch brands of acidophilus and/or increase your intake until it does. You may want to order a PH test strip. You pee on it every morning and it will tell you how acid/alkaline you are. You will start to see a difference as you change your habits. A major help to you will be juicing if you can get into it. Fresh juice of fruits and veggies is one of the best ways to alkalise your system. Also, drink water (warm or cool) with one whole lemon squeezed in it at least once a day. That will majorly help alkalise. Best of luck! We all need to alkalise our systems See more of this discussion:Re: starch free diet

I'm not sure what your trainer is talking about. Brown and white bread both have starch but the difference is that brown bread also has more fiber which allows the starch and sugar from the bread to be released more slowly into your bloodstream. This will prevent your blood sugar from going too high and triggering the storage of excess glucose as fat

The concept of foods being acid or alkaline is based on a complete missunderstanding of the scientific language of food analysis. In other words they don't know what they are talking about, so they can make up anything they like.
The concept was originally deecribed as eating plenty of foods rich in the alkaline earth elements. This has nothing to do with the pH values of acid and alkalie. The foods rich in the alkaline earth elements are fresh fruit and vegetables See more of this discussion:Acid Alkali and pH

Hello,
This is an update on my sequential eating trial. For me, it took a few weeks to really feel results. It wasn't as instant as food combining, but this system works too. I'm not overrun with flatulence, and I don't get nausea as often either. It certainly is easier for me to eat this way. That way I can have a protein with each meal. I eat one starch and one protein per meal, if I get to the protein before I'm full (ha, ha) I've recently started weighing my food as well. It's amazing what you learn about how much you can survive on when you weigh everything. I've discovered that I can (and should) only eat up to 16 oz. of food at any one time and sometimes not even that much, if I have fruit or water too close to the meal. If anyone has any questions about food sequencing, feel free to ask here or e-mail me (thall at wiznet dot ca). Again, the two systems work well together, and I encourage the food combiners to sequence as well for highly efficient digestion. Regards, Tracy See more of this discussion:Re: sequential eating

It's hard to find sweets that are starch free, but the worst starch in these cookies is peanut butter. So give it a shot, your father may really like them.
1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup peanut butter Mix egg and sugar together till creamy, then add peanut butter (chunky or creamy) till smooth. Roll into balls and use fork to pat down the top of the cookie.

Baked beans are mostly carbs and should be avoided because they are processed and usually contain a lot of sugar and tomato sauce, and your not supposed to mix acids with carbs as the acid inhibits the carb digesting enzymes.

Hey James.
Starch free pizza 1 cup of almond ground, 2 eggs, 2 tsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of italian seasoning, a little bit of salt and grated cheese ( romano or parmesan) . Mix everything together and spread (thin) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 325 for about 18 minutes. Remove from oven, and add a pesto sauce ( olive oil, fresh basil, cheese, a little bit of almond ground or pine nuts and mix in a blender or even by hand) Add that to the pizza crust and add pineapple, cooked chicken, onions, pepppers. Bake for another 15 minutes. Mmmmm, it's so good. I add some mushrooms, since they don't seem to affect me. I also use the crust for crackers and cheese sometimes See more of this discussion:Re: starch free diet- pizza for James
