Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi everyone, my thoughts, too, are running along the DIET theme for the past days. I started BBD in sept 2009, but now since april I begun to eat lactose again. After 6 attacks in half a year, I gave up, thinking the diet is not working. But I still strictly avoid gluten, soya, refined sugar... Plus I am allergic to chocolate, cocoa, honey, all nuts, fish and all seafood, legumes... has proven intolerance to eggs,apples,celery,strawberries,oranges... So I am now stabilized since april, with a quite strict health regimen though, with lots of sleep, time spent out in nature and avoiding stress. I am now not sure whether I can afford to eat lactose or not. It does not seem to be doing me any bad, but then, what do I know? But I am not that disciplined and I really enjoy lactose products. But as I have made it before, I know I can again. I am thinking along the macrobiotics/going completely raw lines. I found this video online which made me ponder it. http://youtu.be/HlXXg49vzMU What are your views/experiences? I know that priority is to exclude all food that alergize me. Which does not leave me with many, really. Thanks for your input. > > > When you've time Larry I would be very interested to hear the dfferences in the diets.
