Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 Hi there Thanks for the message I am going to give it a go and would appreciate an e-mail address for Christa Farrell.I have some questions that you may be able to help me with...or perhaps a website that explains the diet... is off gluten and casein so there seems to be an overlap as to what he can and cant eat, couple of things that I'm curious about... 1.) Why no corn??? South Africa is the home of the corn and often substituted for gluten. 2.) Why avoid leguminous vegetables,spinach, cauliflower and carrots??? 3.) how would you define refined carbohydrates? 4.)Why no Lamb...fish we have cut out completed due to a sensitivity to cod. 5.)I thought tomatoes were bad??? candida 6.) Why no salt??? 7.) swedish bitters??? is that the same as lemon /vinegar in water 20 min before food??? 8.) I was under the impresion that digestive enzymes were to be taken 3hrs after a meal due to the digestive process???? 9.)Doesn't putting cold flax seed oil on hot food destroy its' effectivness?? 10.) Evening primrose oil??? I thought this was contraindicated in epileptics??? or not??? 11.)If cod liver is not tolerated can I use only the flax seed and would I then use more??? 12.)I notice you have split up carbs and proteins any particular reason?? We took Josh off carbs for dinner and he was seizure free for almost a week but then he just returned to his usual pattern. Is ther a reason for the carbs at lunch and the protein at dinner??? regards from S.A.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 Janine I am going to forward your email to my friend who is a much better at fine tuning this. I found the post was enlightening, but my friend had a few concerns. IF that is ok? I believe the phone number is at the bottom of the post, or you can search on ERINS DIET - keto and get the email info.
