Re: Diet to Keep Bad Bacteria Away

[Guest guest]

Interesting that they say to avoid milk, but it's ok to eat the milk

that's been aging for 3+ months. Cheese is VERY constipating, for

what it's worth.

I would also, if I were going to eat meat, totally avoid any white

fat in the meat. Lean only. Turkey breast would be my first choice.

The nuts and seeds will be more nutritional if they are raw and

soaked first. Buying roasted salted nuts is asking for trouble.

Depends on the size how long to soak them. What soaking does is wake

up the germination process and bring them to life. When eating raw

seeds and nuts, they have a sprout inhibitor that prevents good

digestion.

I would say the best way to break the spell is not to feed it.

I would eat mostly raw, and everything I ate as fresh as possible.

Very little flesh, it's dead and full of bacteria. Same with cheese.

Instead of yogurt I would take PB-8 or other probiotic every day with

every meal. That alone has gotten rid of infections in my body.

I would totally avoid white or brown sugar (which is white sugar with

molasses added) and go for organic sugar, honey maybe, agave nectar

and maple syrup.

I also eat a little sprouted whole grain breads, well toasted. The

toasting turns the starch to a sugar, which is easier for the body to

handle. Jethro Kloss explained that in his Back to Eden cookbook.

When my stomach is upset, some toast, dry, and a cup of tea, really

settle it. Or maybe a bowl of cooked black japonica rice from

Lundberg farms, with soymilk and maple syrup and fresh ginger.

Garlic! Tony, I almost forgot. Garlic is a wonderful food that kills

germs. I put a whole bulb of garlic in my dinner.

It is interesting about the milk cheese difference. From what I have noticed with my youngest daughter who is gluten intolerant, if she drinks to much milk she becomes symptomatic. But the cheese doesn't seem to affect her like that. I think that the casein in milk is more able to adhere to the villi and thus cause damage than a hardened cheese. That is just my humble opinion. It kind of makes sense when you think about it like that.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (Breaking the Vicious Cycle) has a

theory on why some people can eat cheese but not drink milk without it

causing problems. When making cheese, the lactose gets fermented out

of the milk. Lactose takes an extra enzyme for the stomach to digest

and not everyone has this enzyme. If not digested, the lactose sits in

the stomach and becomes food for bad bacteria. Grains also need an

extra enzyme to be digested and cause problems for people the same way.

If that is the case, why can't you just take an enzyme pill with your meal?

Hi Kat,

I've tried every diet there is and personally I just don't believe in

eating a high % of raw foods. Raw foods are not easy for many people

to digest. They say more Pro Vitamin A is absorbed from cooked carrot

than raw. I do not believe eating raw foods helps the enzyme status in

the body. Only taking plant enzymes or other digestive enzymes can do

that, IMHO. When vegetables are cooked, the fibers are much easier to

eat and digest. The enzymes in eating raw food, IMHO, do not help to

digest themselves. I ate 100% raw for 3 months in 2000, according to

Wolfe's book TSDSS. It's just not for me, not practical. It

looked good on paper but not in real life. In the Winter, many of us

need cooked foods even more, IMHO. The only foods I really prefer raw

are fruits, and SCD even recommends that some people cook their fruit,

especially in the beginning. Undigested fibers in raw produce can be

hard for people with GI illness to digest.

Raw milk cheese is the best to eat, and organic. It's not constipating

to me. I've tended toward loose bowels for quite a while now. Some of

the cheap, pasteurized cheeses are more or less garbage, IMHO. Another

cheese that's easy[er] to digest is goat cheese. We're all different.

For some people, cheese can probably be a challenge. For others, it

can be a good protein source with very little carbohydrate that will

not contribute to their bad bacteria. Dairy probably does cause mucus,

so in the long run it may be a good idea to avoid it, and I may.

SCD makes good sense to me. Cheese has almost no carbs at all. All the

lactose in it has been cultured and is gone. SCD's home made yogurt is

said to have 50 times more probiotic than taking 15 billion strength

capsules of probiotic. One cup of it has 708 billion beneficial

bacteria. They ferment it for a full 24 hours. This gets rid of all

the lactose and makes a very sour yogurt that's better with fruit.

with capsules, they weaken over time. Fresh SCD yogurt is guaranteed

to be high in friendly bac.

SCD has helped lots of people worldwide with UC, IBD, CD, IBS, LGS,

CFS, Candida, and other GI tract illnesses. Many people swear by it.

I've eaten fatty meat for years and my cholesterol is only about 210.

Sometimes the meat (I get it all from one grass fed beef farmer) is

more fatty and will spit and smoke in the broiler if I don't watch it.

I eat that meat anyway. Grass fed beef is IMHO, the best way to

prevent excess Omega 6. It has a healthy balance of Omega 3 and 6

fats. I believe saturated fats are the best fats of all.

I personally believe grains are more damaging to the GI tract than

meat. Grains are one acid producing food that I can do without. It's

not easy to adjust to it but I will eventually. No more pizza once a

week, no more rice at the Chinese restaurant once a week, not more egg

on toast, no more bowls of organic oatmeal for breakfast.

I know people that are vegans, and are nice people. I also know people

that have quit grains and say they are better w/o them. Grains may be

fine for some people but I don't think they are good for me. Grain may

appear to be OK for me in the short run but in the long run I believe

I'm better off w/o them.

I'm going to do the Caveman Diet, and this time maybe permanently. The

Caveman way is probably better than SCD, but the SCD principals apply

to much of the Caveman Diet by avoiding grain, potatoes, and milk. I

may quit legumes too, as they, like grain, hinder mineral absorption.

Many Cavemen don't eat any dairy foods either. Dairy is something I

can take or leave. I may eat SCD yogurt just for now to increase the

friendly bac in my GI tract.

Honey (and saccharin) is, I think, the only legal sweeteners in SCD.

Agave is an " illegal " food. Someone like me needs to really limit

honey in the beginning.

Meat is difficult for me to digest. I am using kirkman enzymes

mold if aged and I am allergic to mold. It is difficult to eat right

I went to Costco today and they had carrot juice and mango smoothies.

I bought a case of each. That will be my staple for breakfast and

lunch.

No big fibers to chew. Full of enzymes, so easy to digest.

I have dicovered I don't chew my food very well: my poop is full of

seeds and pieces of food. Sesame seeds I gave up on a long time ago.

I only eat tahini now. I'll still eat some chewy things. I also got

apples and bananas, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, celery, green

beans, peas. I'll still be cooking for dinner.

I've never been able to go a long time raw, but I did back when I was

20, right after I got hepatitis, before I knew it. I ate nothing but

fruit all summer. Mostly in smoothies. I lost 30 unwanted pounds. It

felt great! I did eat some corn and squash and stuff for my birthday

in August, then went back to the fruit until Sept. I never really

felt starved, if I got hungry, I made another fruit smoothie.

I had tremendous energy and felt great! But my mom broke my spirit

and told me I was anorexic and I ate just to shut her

up....sigh....why did I make her so important?

I also, a few years later, tried the no carb diet, where you eat all

the fat and protein you want. After 2 weeks I crashed. I got really

weirded out, like an adrenaline crisis. Panicky. I gave that up.

Another diet that worked well is the Covert Fit or Fat Diet.

It puts food on a target and you go for the bull's eye. The bull's

eye is low fat, high protein, and high fiber. Food in the bull's eye

were skim milk, fat free chicken, fish, turkey, whole grains and

whole fruits and vegetables, no juices as they have no fiber. I lost

10 pounds in a month.

If they are treated for "freshness", in bottles or cans or something, they just may have changed their nature, so aim in time to switch to fresh if possible. I used to buy bottles of fruit juice and so on, but found that the processing changes the nature from alkaline to acid.

Re your seeds and pieces of food - when I was going to a naturopath and doing the cleanse I mentioned something similar to her and she said that is the digestion. It all ought to be smooth and processed. She gave me a bottle of gentian to take. Google digestive herbs, see what you find.

The Fit for Life diet suited me when I did it. Only fruit until lunchtime, then don't mix carbs and protein.

"Gentian–Gentiana calyosa–fresh root and rhizome Gentian is an excellent bitter which, as do all bitters, stimulates the appetite and digestion via a general stimulation of the digestive juices. It helps promote the production of saliva, gastric juices and bile. It is indicated for sluggish digestion, lack of appetite, gastric distress and flatulence."

Kathy said : I went to Costco today and they had carrot juice and mango smoothies. I bought a case of each.

I have dicovered I don't chew my food very well: my poop is full of seeds and pieces of food.
