Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hello all, My son (11 years old) has been on the protocol for over a year now and doing well. He has been on a strict GFCF diet for the past 6 months. I am planning to move to the diet soon. My son's Gluten allergy tests have been negative in the past. Just wanted to make sure I understand the diet, it is ok to give him processed wheat? Thanks. Archana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 My understanding with the diet is that it's to control inflammation. Carbs such as flour, rice, etc. cause an inflammatory response in everyone, so they are to be avoided as much as possible.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Depending on whether kids have a high IgE or are considered allergic kids, citrus is a common allergen and many kids need to eliminate it from their diet. My son has never been able to have oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit etc... Dr. G doesn't even want small amounts in things like gummy fruit for my boy. Diet, aside from the big triggers of cow's dairy, whole grains, tropical fruit and berries, varies from kid to kid. Whenever something is in question, eliminate it and look for any changes in behaviour - attention span or hyper activity are good cues, as well as skin issues like peeling lips, red ears, flushed cheeks, bumpy dry skin, eczema etc.Eliminations, in our experience should be about a month, then reintroduce and look for any reactions.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I love oranges too, especialy mandarin, but that is the only food I know of that puts me straight to bed. Nothing else does that but OJ or oranges. I have to go to bed for a few hours within an hour of drinking it. Since I used to drink it every day, I didn't connect it - couldn't tell, until I ran out for a few days. I had a whole orange a couple of years ago, having forgotten completely about it, and found myself in bed again. My son also loves them, but gets really dark circles under his eyes. They might be a big trigger. Sorry. ________________________________ From: and Freeman <freemanbk@...> Sent: Fri, April 1, 2011 6:16:12 PM Subject: RE: diet  Tropical fruits including mandarin oranges?

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Pretty much, there's only a few standard no-no's on the diet: no dairy, no whole grain (except we were always allowed to have whole grain oats back then but my kid wasn't reacting to them), no nuts, and no tropical fruit. Those are the highest allergens. The other diet standard (and maybe the most important part) is close to the maintenance portion of " The Zone " diet. High protein, low carb, almost no sugar. Only kids showing labs suggesting a major food problem (elevated eosiniphils, very high IgE, the food allergy panel, and something else Dr G sees in the immune panels that I've never figured out) get more restrictions like no corn, etc. White rice is ok for almost everyone - but limiting the amount because it's too high in carbs. If a kid has eczema, then no eggs, for example. It's not even as strict for most as GFCF - some things with traces of dairy, as long as it makes up 2% or less of the ingredients are somehow ok for our less sensitive kids, whereas on the GFCF diet, not a molecule is ok, not even cooking in the same toaster for some. Just about any kind of vegetable is ok. So why won't all of our kids love them?? That's just not fair. HTH ________________________________ From: LH <lrkhmomx3@...> Sent: Thu, March 31, 2011 8:11:44 AM Subject: diet  I keep reading these e-mails about the diet.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi : What you have said about the Zone diet is the truth. It is the most anti-inflammatory. It hurts me to see people keep exchanging recipes that are all anti-inflammatory. A simple rule of thumb. If it doesn't contain the original fiber, it is an inflammatory food. Even if it is natural and organic it can be inflammatory. An orange is inflammatory because you are getting sugar without fiber. An apple is anti-inflammatory because you get fiber with the sugar when you eat it. Apple juice is inflammatory because there is no fiber. ALL sugar drinks ( soy, rice, milk, juices.....) are inflammatory because they contain no fiber. 99% of adult diets are inflammatory as they are based on shopping in the center aisles of supermarkets. If we eat inflammatory diets ourselves, what are the chances of creating an anti-inflammatory diet for our kids? Probiotics, enzymes, etc will have minimal effect as long as we use inflammatory foods. Its like trying to put out a forest fire ( inflammation) while feeding it fuel ( ANY sugar). The Zone diet is the most potent anti-inflammatory diet I have come across. I have come across two adults on this forum that have recovered -Autistic children by using anti-inflammatory methods. One used roundworms to control inflammation. http://goo.gl/RIyz2 The other adult used non-steroidal anti-inflamamtories. I found in the Zone books by Dr Barry Sears that he doesn't recommend these to assist in controlling inflammation. It was my using the basis of the Zone diet with some adaption to control inflammation that allowed me to escape -CFS after 25 years and 3 months. Once I used this diet I was free within a few months. It stunned me ( and made me somewhat upset), how effective a strict and true-anti-inflammatory diet can be and not a single doctor or naturalpath in all those years even mentioned the word inflammation. McCarthy stated and so have various doctors that CFS is only adult onset autism. The brain fog, pain, poor memory, body aches, mood swings is what I experienced for 25 years. I am sure the connection to -autism is quite evident. I believe Dr G's diet focuses on low sugar and anti-inflammation but I will have to buy his book to understand it more. From watching ALL his youtube videos, he mostly certainty seems to believe diseases have a biochemical basis. Sugar is the #1 inflammatory biochemical. Can I ask most of you a question? Has anyone here followed a strict anti-inflammatory diet for a minimum of 3 months and logged each day of it? Either for themselves or for someone that has a condition?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Rick, Your experience with the Zone Diet is fascinating. I have ME/CFS, Lyme Disease and XMRV. I am celiac and intolerant to eggs. Currenly on both avtivirals (Famvir & Valcyte for EBV & HHV6) and antibiotics(Doxycycline & Zithromax for Lyme & Mycoplasma Pneumonia). I would certainly consider myself to have . I'm curious, over your 25 years did you test positive for any of the common viruses or co-infections - EBV, HHV6, CMV, Lyme, mycoplasma pneumonia, etc. And if so, besides a decrease in symptoms on the zone diet have you seen a decrease in titers? As I'm sure you experience, there are so many directions to research. After 3.5 years I'm just now digging into diet beyond my gluten/egg intolerance. I'd love to hear more of your experience, any recommendations, etc. Best, Lannie Lannieinthelymelight.blogspot.com Sent from my iPhone On Apr 2, 2011, at 10:41 AM, " rickasia2008 " <rickthelearner@...> wrote: > Hi : > What you have said about the Zone diet is the truth.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Lannie: I gave up on testing and doctors many years ago. For example, you can test positive for HHV6 and be healthy. Or you can test positive for HHV6 and be sick. Same for pretty much all the viruses. I have found just like the movie Lorenzo's Oil, most people are not interested in science. Conversely, they believe ( unbelievably to me in this age of the Internet) that answers can only come from those that have formal training. Again, just like Lorenzo's Oil. The final hurdle I have found is our inability to follow a protocol for a set period of time. If a person is not using a log book to log what they are doing daily, they are not following a protocol. Rich people typically get better because they have a coach to ensure they have a protocol and they stick to the protocol. I pretty much picked up most of my understanding about having to change from Tony Robbins. For example, the 7 keys to change. With the first key being " get upset " . Yup, that is from Tony. I still follow my protocol and still log it. My get better wasn't chance. It is from my finding an anti-inflammatory protocol based on the Zone books, logging what I eat and take for supplements daily and sticking to it religiously. Interestingly, Dr Barry Sears books flat out state how his diet helps inflammatory diseases such as CFS, Autism, Cancer, etc. That is why I asked at the end of my first posting in this thread about how many people use a log book. Without a log book to show what we are doing, we are pretty much stuck in the movie " Groundhog Day " . Just going in circles. Once we do use a logbook, it shows how difficult it is to follow a protocol because we constantly find reasons why we know better that something should be added or subtracted. I have made references in previous postings about Lorenzo's Oil because I admire what they did so much. Without the Internet, with high communication costs, with communications that were slow, with the clock ticking on their child's life, they still used science to identify what the problem was, then they used to science to identify a solution. What they accomplished as laypeople in the early 1980's is nothing short of incredible. I take my hat off to them. I am on this forum because of the commonality of belief here about inflammation being the root cause. I mean, its even in the title " " . I just came from a 2 hour bike ride, stay awake 18 hours no problem, clear headed, no pain and have more energy ( but never hungry) than since I was 22. The price I have to pay? A strict, strict diet. I am more than happy to pay the price. Hope my reply was not overly disjointed. :-) Rick > > > > > > Pretty much, there's only a few standard no-no's on the diet: no dairy, no > > > whole grain (except we were always allowed to have whole grain oats back then > > > but my kid wasn't reacting to them), no nuts, and no tropical fruit. Those are > > > the highest allergens. > > > > > > The other diet standard (and maybe the most important part) is close to the > > > maintenance portion of " The Zone " diet. High protein, low carb, almost no sugar. > > > > > > Only kids showing labs suggesting a major food problem (elevated eosiniphils, > > > very high IgE, the food allergy panel, and something else Dr G sees in the > > > immune panels that I've never figured out) get more restrictions like no corn, > > > etc. White rice is ok for almost everyone - but limiting the amount because > > > it's too high in carbs. If a kid has eczema, then no eggs, for example. > > > > > > It's not even as strict for most as GFCF - some things with traces of dairy, as > > > long as it makes up 2% or less of the ingredients are somehow ok for our less > > > sensitive kids, whereas on the GFCF diet, not a molecule is ok, not even cooking > > > in the same toaster for some. > > > > > > Just about any kind of vegetable is ok. So why won't all of our kids love > > > them??

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Rick, No not disjointed at all. I am going to get my hands on the zone diet book right away. Thank you. Do you also strictly follow Dr. G's rules of no dairy, whole wheat, nuts and citrus? I'm interested by your daily logging. When first ill I started a similar habit. But I found it to be a negative experience for me. I equate it to journalling. And my experience is that it's a good exercise for me as long as I'm writing a gratitude journal. If I dont keep those parameters it seems as if writing down anything negative just gives the bad reaction/experience/situation more power. I know exactly what meds/supplements I take each day, jot down any variances as they occur and then meet with my doctor about every 6 weeks. But maybe I should try this again. With more of a scientific approach. Keep it next to my meds. I have to check off each time I take meds and fill in what I eat. I'll give it a go! I don't know Dr. Barry Sears. I'll be sure to google him. Well I really appreciate your thoughts on all of this. I'm with you, if it takes following a strict diet to get something/anything back, I'm willing! Thanks!!!
