Hi,
We manuafcature suet from our site in Llanelli - some of which we manufacture with Rice Flour. This can be bought from Community foods who serve heaalth shops. If you drop me an e-mail I can give you a contact.
Diet drinks mostly contain the poisonous chemical aspartame, to be avoided at all costs, whether on a yeast-free diet or not. If you can find a diet drink with the 100\% natural xylitol as a sweetener, then go for it (and let me know what it is too please as I am on a yeast-free diet too :-) ). How about mixing the voddy with some filtered water with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice (or both

Hello There
I know sugar should be cut out and I guess that includes honey but I dont think a little honey to sweeten your porridge would hurt. Or have you thought about adding dates? They would sweeten the porridge and they are appropriate for a starch meal.
I love warm stewed apple sweetened with fruit juice and sliced preserved ginger for my breakfast. With a slice of wholemeal bread it makes a filling breakfast

Hello
I have been ON and OFF the Hay diet for a couple of years now. Despite the fact that I know it works -when I follow the basic principles my stomach and skin problems improve dramatically - but then in a stressful situation or when I am tired - or when my husband brings fish and chips ! I go back to my old ways and bingo back comes the stomach problems and my skin starts itching again.
My advice to anyone new to the Hay diet - is get your partner involved - it makes life a lot easier.
What a helpful and interesting thread. I am 34 years old ans also have AS and have been on a starch-free diet for 1 year now and have noticed a huge difference. Carol Sinclairs book on the IBS Low starch diet has been a massive help and I'm still learning.
Alison- Did you have a pastry recipe using seeds? Peanuts contain starch (apparantly they are not even a nut) blanched almonds and walnuts are starch free. I think flaxseed and sesame seeds are starch free too but sunflower seeds apparantly contain starch.
Mary- Can you post some links for the recipes for bread, muffins and crackers using almond flour (and flaxseed meal)?
I find coconut flour is great for sweet recipes but it does obviously taste of coconut (delicious in a home-made chicken korma) but I find that almond flour seems to be less dominant in it's taste and better for savouries and pancakes.
Baking powder contains starch but 1/2 ts cream of tartar and 1/2 bicarbonate of soda is supposed to be the equivalent of 1ts baking powder. I think there is a starch-free baking powder on the market somewhere too but I haven't found it yet as I live in Norway and food variety is limited here so I order coconut flour on the net from the UK.
Boudicca- Is there an icing sugar that doesn't contain cornstarch?

Im doing a cleanse and they suggest these whey protein shakes and Ive been mixing it with coconut milk and coconut oil. Im wondering after I have a shake, how long do I need to wait to have fruit? TIA, Jennifer

Thank you! I didnt think this message posted. I was having trouble when I posted and ended up trying again and still didnt think it did. So glad it came up :). Thank you for having this message board. Jennifer
This looks like a healthy dish to me. The main ingredient is the lentils - as these are a dry measure and all the others are moist already. There is nothing in the other ingredients that alters the balance of nutrients in the lentils, so that is good

I made a lentil stew and after making it I'm second guessing if its combined prpoerly. I put in 1/2 c red lentils, 1/2 c green lentil, 2 carrots, 1 zucchini, 5 mushrooms, 6 pcs okra, 1/2 yellow onion, 1/3 bell pepper, 2 stalks celery, 1 bunch collard greens, 2/3 c corn and 4 T evoo. Does this sound ok? Thnx,
I have to avoid soy and dairy as well as gluten. I don't eat out very much!
I tend to avoid any manufactured foods that might contain unknown fats or oils, stick to fresh fruit, fresh veg, meat and fish and eggs. Rice and potato are my main staples.
Tin fish in brine is useful for emergency when away from home. I also take dried fruit - but take care here, they can be soaked or coated in unspecified oil. Make sure they are oil free.
My throat swells and/or I get boils if I eat or touch soy. Some foods I thought I was allergic to, but since learned it was the soy/lethecin they contained. I also have milk intolerance, which can reacts on my bowel and/or forms excess mucus.
Where can I find help with a diet? It is really hard to eat out because so many places use veg oil containing soy. Currently more foods contain soy. Besides this, I am really concerned about gasoline and furniture now being made from soybean. I will have to be afraid to sit on any seat or smell the air. I do carry and EpiPen.

I am starting a cleanse thru standard process and they suggest mixing in fruit with a protein shake. Would this be inadvisable? And if i were to do the protein shake without fruit and want a piece of fruit later, how long do u think i should wait between having the shake and eating the fruit? TIA, Jennifer

Diane,
I just wanted to let you know that Pantothenic acid is vitamin B5. The B vitamins are great healers and energy boosters for the body. Most of them are water soluble so its really hard to ever over dose on them. Don't worry, its not a new medication, it's just a b vitamin. I know the B-complex vitamins are great! I hope this helps you out a little bit.
Hello, I am confused about food combining and peanut butter. The normal over the counter variety such as Jiff contains lots of sugar in in it. I'm trying to follwo the food combining structure and it would seem that peanut butter just doenst fit anywhere... could you help me with this?

Did you ever get an answer to finding a stockist of the seeds in the UK as I too am trying to find a seed source.I did today buy frozen ones from Tesco (£1.99) so until I find a stockist at least I can carry on eating them ?.Where did you find the dried ones as I was wondering if you could soak and sow them

What you were experiencing were withdrawal symptoms as the harmful . substances you had taken in to your body and were stored in fatty deposits were once more able to enter the blood system on their way out of the body. On their way round the blood system they pass through the brain and cause these symptoms. Think of the hangovers you may have had in the past or the food you felt you had to eat although you weren't sure if it was a good idea. Hang in there and feel better and better

If you take supplements on a regular basis does your body adjust to this "help" by lowering the effort it puts into keeping your body healthy. I am wondering if this is an action that is counter productive to good natural health.
As an example if you are weak in one area, say zinc(or calcium or a vitamin), if you take a zinc supplement does you body just adjust to the added zinc and when you stop taking the supplement are you in the same condition that you were in when you started taking the supplement?
Or do physicians tell you you are weak in a certain area, and you should take this supplement, and start eating more of this (whatever contains what your supplement is) on a regular basis so you can stop the supplement at a later date
Hiya Katarina. I think it's important to state outright that is not a criticism of your life-choices, I truly believe that if it works for you then go for it. That said, I am curious to know why you would want to chemically induce your body to accept food stuffs that it has told you it doesn't want? I appreciate that initially a starch free diet seems inconvenient and daunting, but it's really not so bad and I take comfort in knowing that I am staving off the accumulative effects that might be caused by continuing to eat something my body doesn't like. Just a thought.
I found that sugar free jelly bounced me right off induction and I had to start again. I was disappointed at first, until I thought "why would I want to perpetuate a craving for something (sweet stuff) that was making me fat in the first place?" We're all different and lots of people cope with the jelly perfectly well, but personally I am happy to know that conquering my sweet-tooth will have lasting benefits.
Greetings and sympathies to everyone on this page. I discovered I was seriously intolerant of starches (and other things) about 8 years ago and in this age where the promotion of wholegrains as the basis for a healthy diet is the paramount received wisdom I have found it very frustrating as I have yet to find a healthcare professional who believes me. As a consequence I have had to conduct my own little experiments and I have found that sticking to a low-carb diet has had a very positive effect physically and emotionally.
Before I blather on further, the reason I have posted this is to mention that my arthritis is aggravated (within the hour) by fruit. I know it's hard to accept because once again it defies conventional thinking, but I thought it might be of interest to others who are also looking for solutions outside of the System.
Hi, thnx for very useful site. Many literature state that fruit should be mostly eaten on its own on an empty stomach? What would then be the ideal time gap be between the fruit and a protein or starch meal? thnx in advance

A few yrs ago I discovered that eating potatoes and white bread didnt agree with me, since then Iv also become intolerent to caffene potatoe chips white rice and also when I eat certain foods together ex. I can eat popcorn and I can eat chocolate (in moderation) but if I eat the two of them together (1 after the other) I suffer terrible afterwards.

Pavlov, the famous Russian dog scientist in his days, did a very simple experiment on digestion in dogs. When he fed his dog with pure carbohydrates, the feaces came out after 1 1/2 hours. When he fed his dog with pure meat or proteins, it came out after 2 hours. But when he mixed the protein with carbohydrates, it came out after 8 hours. Obviously something was wrong when you mix both proteins and carbohydrates. The lengthy period also means that the food is rotting in your stomach and can lead to all sorts of illnesses, diabetes and even cancer. Bacterial fermentation is bad for body biochemistry.
The scientific explanation is very simple. The digestive enzymes in our mouth which break down carbohydrates are slightly alkaline in nature. However, when they get down to the stomach, the digestive juices are very acidic and are for breaking down proteins. Your stomach juices contain hydrochloric acid for protein breakdown. So when you have both carbohydrate and protein mixed together, neither class of enzymes is working at maximum efficiency because the digestive enzymes that digest carbohydrates do not work well in an acidic environment. Similarly, the digestive enzymes for protein do not work well in a non-acidic environment.
That is why it takes so long for you to digest your food. This causes a lot of biochemical side reactions that are bad for your body
Is food combining really good for keeping blood sugar levels low in diabetes I have had diabetes for over 15 years and have had problems in the past keeping low sugar levels and now my doctor has heightened my medication doses which helped for a month or so but now it seems to have gone up again.

I was diagnosed with a Yeast Imbalance several years ago, i have done several total exclusions but when symptons subside I just do my best to keep sugar and yeast as low as possible. I have seen a great improvement in my health over the years and this is a good way to manage symptoms if they are not too serious.
When I am doing a total exclusion I now find it quite easy. I stick to simple but really tasty food. Grilled lamb chops with lots of herbs, mash made with garlic infused olive oil rather than butter and nice steamed mangetout and baby veg, pan fried steak with baked sweet potatoes and salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Eating meals like this I never feel like I am missing out.
Thai food is really good too. If you buy authentic Thai Curry Paste from an Asian supermarket it has no sugar or other nasties. Fry 2 tablespoons of paste for a minute or two, add a can of coconut milk bring to boil and then add meat and veggies, serve with rice or add water and rice noodles for a laksa type soup.
for breakfast i have porridge made with soya milk and when things get really hard i make it with coconut milk, dessicated coconut and stir in bit of almond butter. It's quite good!
Ground almonds can be a good base for baking. About.com has a good selection of sugar free recipes and vegan websites are useful too
The good news about food combining the golden rule

i believe that nuts should be eaten alone or with a salad. They should be eaten in MODERATION. Nuts originally came in a shell and that shell meant that the nut would have to be cracked. Now we have our nuts shelled by a machine and eat them by the handful. Eat one small handful and eat them one at a time

you can test any food for starch using iodine. if the colour turns blue or black the food item contains starch. if it doesnt change colour - food item has no starch

I've had Crohn's disease for quite a few years and intermittently get severe acid problems in my stomach. I could never figure out why carbs affected me so much when I have no known problems according to doctors. The Hay diet makes all the sense in the world to me. I don't care if it's scientific or not!! If you have an illness, you are more sensitive to foods. I used to starve myself in order to feel good. Now I understand that the combinations of food are causing me more problems than I bargained for!! I've gone on a strict lowfat, protein diet many times-- when I go on it I feel great. Looks like there's meaning behind the madness

br>You may have to learn to cook, using no seeds, grains, beans of any kind in any amount. Roots (carrots, potatoes onions etc), leaves are ok, so is dairy, fish (but salmon: watch out) and meat. Remove all seeds tomatoes and peppers before using. Avoid stuff where seeds leaks out into flesh (melon, squash, ...) or at least check for reactions. Most important: read labels; only get things with no additives that you don't know are ok. Avoid: corn syrup, "hydrolyzed wheat protein", thickeners, shelf-life extenders, "flavorings". Use best quality olive oil, white cheese (that orange color is from a seed). Flour substitute: potato starch. To survive, need to cook from scratch. Give up old treat habits (choose between "fun" and life). Eating out (not often): plain steamed green vegetable (not beans), salad (your own or no dressing), meat (grilled, no pepper!), baked potato with nothing on it. We have derived a complete set of recipes (and survived since 1987...) Half of family has this condition. Result: none of us is overweight...
Get yourself some quinoa. It is a grain protein (very good source of protein) and treat it like a couscous or rice substitute. So you can have quinoa salad by chopping up veg (hot or cold) and tossing through some quinoa with some pesto for example.
Also - try a French omlette - look up the recipe online, it is a milk-free omlette and is very light, extremely tasty!

I too, have had AS since 1976, with all similar occurrances and experiences. Recent discovery of Starch Foods as a fuel source for the Kleibsella Bacteria to expound and help kill cells and form boney calcium (fusion) through an Auto Immune Response. I am HLA B27 posi, and have noticed a reduction in IBS and the Bad Bacterial feelings in the gut and colon since minimizing starch form diet.
Only sour fruits can be eaten with protein so try these with Yoghurt for b/f. The acid will aid digestion. With fruits- they can leave an alkaline ash once digested so it isn't alway obvious what is alkalising.
Maybe you are short of energy by pm. Need some carbs, maybe?
Wholemeal bread, rye or oatmeal with ripe banana.
I'm demi veg -so would only recommend eve. meal: Baked fish with Cauli cheese and veg. or similar. Try Soy/Quorn etc.
You may need to balance your daily diet better.
It takes some work .. Nuts, [barring peanuts] are OK to mix & are good for you. Not too many Brazils, though. 2ish- [High Selenium]
Apples between meals are a get-out by some accounts

Just noticed your posting and was also looking for olives with no salt.
Have you had a reply with suggestions where to get them from in the UK?
I've been looking for a while, I adore olives and eat them like sweets!!! but I'm very consious of the salt in them. I do wash them before eating but the salt is still obvious. I don't like the ones in oil so much.

I also have the same exact problem. The doctor has just recently took me off all milk products because of the constant pain, gas, and bloating. It is really aggrivating not knowing what is causing the problem. I am 32 years old and still pretty active, so I don't understand what is the problem. If anyone has any advice as far as a diet or some exercises something that can be done with a ruptured and degenerative disc disease, I would really appreciate it.
I am intolerant to starch and I am trying to find something that substitutes bread. I think I've found that flaxseed flour has almost no starch. Somebody can confirm that?
I also heard almond bread, but I can't find it anywhere
Glad you brought that up, the more meat you put into your sandwich the faster your pancreas might wear out from being overworked, unless your sandwich is like arround 85\% meat lol. This one website sais that if you eat a mixed meal that is more than 18\% carbohydrates then your body doesn't proceed with protein digestion in the stomach, and it will have to get digested in the small intestine by pancreatic enzymes. Sounds pretty sane but it doesn't say where they got that number and it doesn't have a single reference to anyone or any studies. (http://tuberose.com/Food_Combining.html)
I'm obsessed with spices ranch dressing and butter or substitute butter sprinkles.

Beverley, you can find rice pizza dough at Whole Foods supermarket I think they are located in most of the states if you live in the United States. Also you can try soy cheese for a topping I actually enjoy mine without cheese though since I cannot have dairy either. Also remember to make your pizza with vegetable toppings instead of meat for the combination diet. You can get creative with that. Good luck to you I can understand the struggle with digestion it seems I have tried every diet under the sun...just hope this combination thing helps me out soon I am really trying to follow it as the book says.

Hello everyone I started the food combining diet about week and a half ago and have been following just as the book "The complete book of food combining by Kathryn Marsden" tell me. I do have IBS the constipation kind and I am always bloated. Even though my stomach has settled down some since started to properly combine food my bloating has not went down at all. When I say I am bloated I mean I feel pregnant but I am not. Some days I go to the bathroom and other days I still struggle. I am eating more fruit and vegetables than I used to and I drink lots of water does anyone have any ideas why I am still bloated? Does it just take more time for your body to adjust to the increase in fiber or am I doing something wrong.
P.S. I am also lactose intolerant and avoid it whenever humanly possible.

I just found out that my 15 month old toddler has a yeast allergy and also have been directed to avoid cheeses, citric acid, etc. I am looking at the all the boxes, cans, etc. in my cupboards and the fruit in my fridge and am constantly reminded that those ingredients are in just about everything. I have also been on-line looking for yeast free recipes, but am having a hard time finding anything my toddler can chew. Is there anyone out there that can help me with finding a cookbook to help me with this specific allergy? I would appreciate any information one could give
I have been following advice from Jackie Le Tissier's book 'Food Combining for Vegetarians' for about 4 weeks now and feel so much better.....no indigestian or gut discomfort so I intend sticking to it.
The first time I have ever lost weight without feeling hungry!
You would have to drink large amounts of soda water to have any effect on the ph of the stomach.
The stomach produces acid in response to a protein meal, so if you are concerned don't drink soda water with a protein meal

I have just found out that I have chronic kidney disease and need to cut my salt/sodium down drasticaly, can anyone advise me about lower salt/sodium foods
Almost all natural starch foods contain some protein. What is important is that a starch meal is very low in protein, and that a protein meal is very low in starch.
The combinations suggested provide this balance in the final meal
If you cook with the basic raw ingredients. These don't have salt in. Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh fish, fresh meat. Rice, potato. Don't add salt in the cooking either
I will be 51yo and am 100lbs over weight (height 5'2") and my doctor recommended I cut back on starches/sugars. What kind of menu would I have to choose from with these limitations?
