Or could I just be allergic to them? Hi Fiona, Tomatoes cause gas. (Just like onions and cabbage.) I had to give up tomatoes on the advice of my nutritionist. I kept trying to tell her that I didn't have a problem with tomatoes, and she said, " Just humor me. " Well, gee, I guess there's a reason she gets paid the big bucks because I noticed a difference right away when I stopped eating them. A friend of mine tells me that some people have a big problem with " night shade " foods, which includes the tomato. I guess I need to stay away from night shades.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 I've been having a reaction to tomatoes as well. The last two times I made a tomato-based goulash dish I've gotten almost instant sore joints all around my body and when I wake up in the morning I'm incredibly stiff. But I seem to be fine with fresh tomatoes in moderation. I wonder if it's because the others were canned. They were organic, but they have citric acid in them, which I believe is an avoid, if only because it usually comes from corn? Anyway, I'm steering clear of canned tomatoes for now. -Vicki P. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 Citric acid can also be based on wheat (usually in Asian countries). Not good for us, no matter what! Anne Washburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Don't know the receipe, but we just peel them and boil them down to consistency. You can then sieve them to get rid of the seeds if you don't want to eat them. You'll have to put it through a sieve though. Same way to make tomatoe juice also, just don't cook it as long. Spices that you like are added. Don't know if you can freeze it or not. We always used to can. Love Ya, Helen Hello Everyone,I have a ton of fresh tomatoes from the garden and would like to try and make homemade tomatoe soup. Does anyone know how to do this? Also can it be frozen???Chelle <center></center> Please Remember Our Country And All the Families in Your Thoughts and or Your Prayers !!!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 I better be a secretor then!!!!!! Maybe I don't want to take the test to find out. Someone said spelt is also a nonscretor avoid, and I just bought 2 cases of pasta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 <<Someone said spelt is also a nonscretor avoid, and I just bought 2 cases of pasta.>> In general, secretors are VERY sensitive to grains and sugars and have more trouble processing fats that secretors. Although I encourage being tested, if you gain weight easily from these things then it's a good bet you're a nonnie! Dianne in L.A.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Dear Tami, Natural salicylates are related to aspirin in a chemical way. Some people who are allergic to aspirin are also allergic to these natural foods. These natural foods are almonds, apples, apricots, berries, cherries, chili powder, cider and cider vinegar, cloves, coffee, cucumbers and pickles, currants, grapes and raisins, nectarines, oranges, paprika, peaches, peppers (bell and chili), plums and prunes, tangerines, tea, tomatoes, oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate), and wine & wine vinegar. I also have heard that potatoes are bad too. You can be reacting to these and not know it because when you react it can last so long and then you've had more of the food. You can avoid them and see if you feel better. Other salicylates related to aspirin are artificial colors, flavors, BHA, BHT and TBHQ. I've been treated now with NAET and I can now have coffee and tangerines - Hurrah! I'm looking forward to being able to have tomatoes. tomatoes << File: ATT00015.txt; charset = iso-8859-1 >> << File: ATT00016.htm; charset = ISO-8859-1 >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Tami, Are these your own tomatoes you grow? I am going to try tomatoes this year again, since I have this beautiful greenhouse. Home grown is healthier. Maybe that is why you don't get a reaction? -- tomatoes Why are tomatoes so bad? I drink about 3 quarts of my homemade virgin mary mix every week. It gives me tons of energy and sometimes even takes away my headaches. I cook it for 4 hours before I process it. Maybe I'm cooking out whatever is bad in it. I've been drinking this for almost 2 years now. Tami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are tomatoes a fruit or vegetable? I was arguing with my co-workers that it is vegetable because I am allowed to eat it on this program, but everyone else is saying it is a fruit. You also mentioned in your articles that we must avoid all sorts of fruits except lemon or lime because it is difficult for us to digest.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi Robb, A fruit is the part of the plant that includes the seeds. Many things commonly considered vegetables, like squash, peppers, and tomatoes, are technically fruits. As for why tomatoes are allowed on this diet, hopefully someone else can answer that!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Robb, Scientifically tomatoes are technically fruits. Food guides, recipes etc usually list them along with vegetables because of they way they're used in in meal planning and recipes. So it depends on who you're talking to, a scientist or a cook :-) April On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 9:45 AM, rhooode <rhooode@...> wrote: > > > Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are tomatoes a fruit or vegetable?

The eggs alone don't do that, I don't know if the natural sugars in tomatoes are still too much for me at this point. > +++Hi April, What symptoms are you getting that you call " a candida flare-up " ? Tomatoes are technically a fruit, however they contain less that half the carbs of lemon juice and the same carbs as cooked broccoli. You cannot expect your symptoms to get under control in such a short time. That is because you will definitely get Retracing, Healing Reactions and Flare-ups, along with other healing and detoxifying rections until you are totally healthy, and that takes 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, and for most people today that is since before being born. Here's the article on Retracing, etc.: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/heal10.php You can even get new symptoms and reactions, which are normal too. Natural healing takes time and patience, along with following the program accurately and completely long enough. But even after that you must treat your body right (correct nutrients, eliminating toxins and damaging foods, etc.), otherwise you can get candida again and again. To understand healing naturally read these articles: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu1_2.php The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruits are not difficult to digest at all. The problem with them is that they are high in fructose sugars, which is the worst kind of sugar for anyone, even healthy people, because of how the body processes it. Small amounts are okay if you also have enough fats to slow their release into your system. Even healthy people should only have 2 servings of fruit per day, along with enough good fats of course. However lemons and limes are the lowest in fructose, but some people cannot tolerate them when they are beginning of this program, so like my article states " proceed with caution. " All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
