Re: Food Sensitivities

,

I'll put some comments below yours. Thanks for the

encouragement.

Yes, a good reminder that this is a specific carb diet, not complex

carbs. I think that from what I understand I'm burning fat for

energy right now. And that there is some detoxing going on.

However, things are better this week and my weight loss is

not as fast as it was the first week.

>(......my recipe has honey........this is

>quite a high source of carb actually even in small amounts. )

I have not had any honey since beginning SCD. It's not something

I've bought for maybe 30 years. I never used to eat anything with

honey in it, either; however, the past 10 years or so, I did try eating

something once in awhile which contained honey.

I have not gotten any written info from the company but I

do very well with concentrated 100% lemon juice and I'm

extremely sensitive. I think at this point it's not something

I'll concern myself about.

I have not tested apples yet, because they have been very difficult

for me for years. However, last year was the first year I seemed

to start tolerating them. [i used to be sensitive to almost all foods]

>I myself never did too well with the intro diet and have since found

Yes, I'm aware that chicken and eggs are from the same family.

At some point, I may stop eating both of them; however, as far

as I can tell now, I'm doing a whole lot better with them than I

used to.

I don't like sole much and I don't think I could just eat sole and

carrots. [it's hard to get organic zucchini and organic green beans

right now]

I seem to be tolerating avocado right now, and it seems to be

helping me. It's a great food to prevent blood sugar drops. I'm

hoping I'll be able to keep eating it. There was a time when I

couldn't.

One of my concerns is that eating the same foods all the time

can lead to intolerance of those foods. It will be good if I can

start rotating, at some point.

I have to be very careful how fast I detox. Extremely careful.

For example, I start detoxing within 30 seconds, if someone

does any kind of physical therapy on me. Then within a few

more seconds I can get extremely toxic with dizziness, nausea,

etc.

Actually I'm doing well compared to years in the past when I've

gone on elimination and/or rotation diets. I've done whatever

kind of healing I could manager over the last 36 years; however,

I'm still extremely sensitive to chemicals and I still live in unhealthy

housing. I was a Universal Reactor, and it's possible I'm still

considered that; however I don't have an EI doctor.

Thanks for understanding about the sensitivities.
