honey and cereal

Posted by Gill Pell

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 See more of this discussion:honey and cereal Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

The Hay Diet is the only diet that works for me

Posted by Gill Pell

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. Thanks Dr Hay Gill See more of this discussion:The Hay Diet is the only diet that works for me Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

starch free diet

Posted by adele

Hi all, 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? Thanks for the pizza recipe Mandy! Good Luck Everyone!

Fruit

Posted by Jennifer

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 See more of this discussion:Fruit Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Re: starch free diet

Posted by Brianna

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.

Re: soya beans

Posted by Patricia Johnston

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 See more of this discussion:Re: soya beans Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Headpains after starting hay diet

Posted by Christsine

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 See more of this discussion:Headpains after starting hay diet Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

starch (and lactose) intolerance

Posted by Maria

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. Best wishes See more of this discussion:starch (and lactose) intolerance Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

sugar free jelly

Posted by Maria

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.

starch free diet

Posted by Maria

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. Best wishes and good health to all. Maria See more of this discussion:starch free diet Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Welcome

Posted by mary

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 See more of this discussion:Welcome Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Re: starch free diet

Posted by darryn yates

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 See more of this discussion:Re: starch free diet Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

Intolerance to grains, rice, other bean-seed

Posted by been there & survived

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...

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. Would like to learn more, and you ?

Re: EXCESS WIND

Posted by N

I have just began food combining, and my energy levels (which have been low for ages) have increased. I had a lot of trouble with bloating / trapped wind - general IBS type problems. Digestive enzymes were recommended to me. Within a few days, the symptoms had all but disappeared. Now over a year later i am fine as long i take the digestive enzymes You can get these digestive enzymes from health food shops. Don't know if the food combining will help my bloating issues as yet, but i am starting to feel better generally. Good Luck See more of this discussion:Re: EXCESS WIND Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic Your Name: Your Email: Subject: Security Code:

starch free diet

bloating

Posted by Roxanne Meggs

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.

bloating

Posted by Jennifer

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.
