Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I would like to consume less meat and eggs, but I am struggling with not getting enough protein in my diet. Soy is a good source of protein, but it is supposedly not healthy due to a number of factors. Dairy is a source of protein, but it gives me sinus congestion. (hopefully, when I get things squared away, some day I can consume dairy again) I do take a hemp protein supplement which helps a little with the protein. And I eat almond butter which helps as well. I limit my meat and eggs to one meal every couple of days. I would like to eat it even less than that due to my liver/GB issues, but I am worried about not enough protein. Does anyone have any suggestions? > > A-F Betafood tablets from Standard Process, less meat and eggs, more beets. > > Amber > > > > > > > What else do I need to do to maintain good GB health? > > > . > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 My nutritionist told me to add whey protein powder to foods. I either take it in a drink with milk and fruit, or just sprinkle some on top of cereal. I use the vanilla flavor and it doesn't interfere with other foods. I stay away from soy.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I am not sure that I can take whey because it is dairy. Dairy gives me sinus congestion. I don't know if it is the whey, the casein, or something else. I guess I could try the whey protein, but I am a little hesitant because my sinuses are better than ever not that I am off of dairy. I am also battling candida. Is whey okay when doing the candida diet? Thanks. p.s. What do you mean by it does not interfere with other foods? > > My nutritionist told me to add whey protein powder to foods.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 With all due respect, I am not going to wait on a sanctioned clinical study by a medical group to make my health decisions. I am not sure that I would trust it anyway. That is why most of us are here to start with. As for the soy, it is processed much differently today than it use to be processed. Like many other industries, there are several shortcuts being taken that compromise the quality of the product in order to make a buck. And these shortcuts make the product unhealthy. Aside from the processing, there are supposedly several other factors that make it a bad choice as well. Perhaps as you suggest, not all of this has been proven. But I am not sure that I want to take the chance. Hopefully, there are other alternatives that are less risky. As for the protein sources, what are your recommendations besides soy or meat? Thanks. > > > > > > A-F Betafood tablets from Standard Process, less meat and eggs, > > more beets. > > > > > > Amber > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > What else do I need to do to maintain good GB health? > > > > > > > > > . > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I understand that the pasteurization destroys the milk from a health standpoint. But unpasturized milk poses some risk as well. Some people think that if you are going to be a milk drinker, that goat's milk is the best choice. In fact the owner of my local health food store has a supplier of unpasturized goat's milk for his own consumption. Perhaps I can check into that. But I think that I would rather stay away from milk of all types if possible. Thanks for your help. > >> I am not sure that I can take whey because it is dairy. Dairy gives > >> me sinus congestion.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It is usually the casein for most people. Casein definitely makes my nose run within a few hours. On the candidiasis list, whey is a major part of the protocol because it is a source so rich in so many amino acids and glutathione precursors. Certain brands are better than others(isolated from casein and undenatured), but it is something to look into. I would test it though if you could, because there is still a possibility that you might react to the whey even the chances are much lower than reacting to casein. greg > > > > My nutritionist told me to add whey protein powder to foods.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 By not interfere with other foods, I mean it doesn't adversely affect the taste. The Mayo Clinic in 1999 said that all sinus problems are due to fungus. Therefore, I suggest taking natural antifungals to see if it will help you. I don't think whey will have an adverse effect on candida. I think you need antifungals. It certainly won't hurt to try. Amber I am not sure that I can take whey because it is dairy.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 You are miss informed over the idea that unpasturized milk poses any risk that is any different from pasturized. Many many years ago when we first started farming and I came across the concept of raw milk from local farmers. I studied and researched the history of pasturized milk and discovered that it is a big hoax which only purpose was to make the corporation that was setup to sell this equipment rich. The governments data was centered around one major corporate farm which had already been repeatedly cited for dirty farm operations. So it is no surprise that twice in one year that the farm had salminila poisining in it's milk. But the thing is that pasturized milk has been found to be contaminated with salminila as well. But it was this farm that was used to cry how evil raw milk is. The senator who pushed for this was also affiliated with the corporation that was poised to sell the pasturizing equipment. The reason why most people who are lactose intolerant can drink goats milk is because the fat molecules are naturally broke down to simple molecules, where as cow fat molecules are complex. It is the extra hard work the body has to do to break up the cow fat that is difficult in some people. As far as pasturizing, I don't recall the exact medical reason that it is bad, but I do remember one case study involving cats. The fed a test group of cats, group A was feed pasturized milk and the other raw milk. The cats that was feed pasturized milk was very anti-social. The other group that was feed the raw milk were very social in contrast. So what does that tell you about pasturizing. Besides that our bodies need the bacteria and other enzymes that comes from raw foods. > > >> > > >>> My nutritionist told me to add whey protein powder to foods.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 2 questions: 1) An allergic reaction to what? An earlier post indicated possibly the casein. 2) What do you think of the whey protein powder sold at health food stores? Thanks so much! > > Whey should be just fine in terms of candida. In fact it is promotive of lactobacillus and bifidus which are anti candida. The sinus issues here are an allergic reaction not an infection though the allergic reaction produces a catarrh discharge which will be promotive of an infection setting in afterwards. Both the energetic and biological line between yeasts and funguses is blurry at best. As a general rule anti fungals are anti yeast and visa versa. depending on the protein you are having trouble with fred, you may not have an adverse reaction to hwey. you can also try goat's whey (Mt. Capra) and might be fine with that. -D > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Amber <mailto:amber@...> > gallstones <mailto:gallstones > > Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:08 PM > Subject: Re: Went to a Natural Dr. for help with GB issues. > > > By not interfere with other foods, I mean it doesn't adversely affect the taste.
