Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 i've been following the sulfur (how do you spell it??) topic. i found this list of high-sulfur foods: http://www.canarys-eye-view.org/challenges/food/sulfurfoods.html i'm already on strict gf-cf diet, plus no nightshade veggies, no citrus, low carb (so few fruits, 1 apple a day), no soy. if i stopped eating everything that was on the list above, i can't see what foods i'd have left or how i'd get protein. every day i eat these high sulfur foods: nuts, nut butters, and seeds; turkey, chicken, or venison (max 1/4 pound per day); 1/2 avocado per day in warm weather; coconut concentrate or coconut milk; lots of kale, cabbage, bok choy, etc. is anyone limiting sulfur AND doing gf-cf and low-carb and no soy, etc.? curious, kendra > > Hi all, > I copied this list of sulfur foods and the content in mg from somewhere some> time ago (can't remember source). > I'm just wondering how accurate it is. > Could anyone comment. > Also, for those that need to be on the sulfur exclusion, is the goal 'NO' or> 'LOW' sulfur. > Is 'ALL' meat to be excluded too or can some be included but limited. > I guess I'm asking if one has to take an 'all or nothing' approach towards> sulfur. > I'm trying to help someone with this and have no personal experience of> sulfur's bad effects.. > I personally am low-sulfur/low sulfate because I do well with masses of> sulfur foods/sulfur supplements and epsom salts. > > On another note I just completed my 40th round and this time did 30mg of ALA> only.

I believe Andy's list is better since it is informed by what has worked for people. The list you have below is probably something like cysteine plus methionine content, or some such, and this doesn't really tell what you need. The things that sulfur-sensitive people do okay on are: lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, celery, squash, eggplant, peppers, corn, potatoes, yams, mushrooms, cucumbers, beets I might have missed some, but that is a fairly good list, I think. I like salads/soups/stews/ratatouille with these veggies. > Also, for those that need to be on the sulfur exclusion, is the goal 'NO' or > 'LOW' sulfur. Depends on how sensitive they are. A very sensitive person will, I think, need to avoid it as much as possible. Someone with normal cysteine who is sensitive may need to eat a moderate amount and not exclude the sulfur foods completely. A low cysteine person who is sensitive (I think this is very rare) should eat as much as they tolerate. > Is 'ALL' meat to be excluded too or can some be included but limited. Meat/protein only needs to be reduced if someone is very, very sensitive. See Amalgam Illness, p. 196. > I guess I'm asking if one has to take an 'all or nothing' approach towards > sulfur. I think when a person is doing the trial of low sulfur, it is good to reduce as much as possible (but I would not think meat has to be eliminated for this unless possibly the person already knows they are quite sensitive), so you get a good sense of your sensitivity when you add it back. After you figure out whether/how sensitive you are, I think you have to experiment with different amounts of sulfury foods to see where your threshold of tolerance is. > I'm trying to help someone with this and have no personal experience of > sulfur's bad effects.. > I personally am low-sulfur/low sulfate because I do well with masses of > sulfur foods/sulfur supplements and epsom salts. > On another note I just completed my 40th round and this time did 30mg of ALA > only.

It could just be the normal variation from round to round. You may have to experiment more to see whether you generally tolerate DMSA/ALA or ALA only better. Remember if you have any lead, DMSA is important to use maybe once every month or two. -- > CUWAC- to you all - Chelate Until We Are Cured! > Thanks, > Dean > > > mustard 1280 total sulfur mg > marmite 382 > peanut 377 > meat (beef) 203 > brazil nuts 293 > dried peaches 240 > cheddar cheese 230 > sunflower seeds 226 > sesame seeds 221 > horseradish 212 > cashews 182 > tea 177 > chicken egg 170 > dried apricots 164 > oats 155 > almonds 145 > watercress 127 > whole wheat flour 123 > coffee 110 > butter beans 109 > walnuts 104 > spinach 87 > pecan 75 > beef 73 > coconut 64 > onion 51 > asparagus 47 > brocolli 45 > swiss chard 41 > garlic 34 > chocolate 32 > milk 29 > cabbage 27 > corn 25 > avocado 19 > sweet potatoes 15 > parsley 13 > corn grits 12 > tomato 11 > > Also, whey, bok choy, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, whey, kale, turnips, > leeks. > Meat is also high sulphur, so you may need to supplement amino acids, > especially glutamine.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 This list is completely unreltaed to reality. Don't use it. > i've been following the sulfur (how do you spell it??) topic. i found > this list of high-sulfur foods: > http://www.canarys-eye-view.org/challenges/food/sulfurfoods.html The following list is also not very informative though it at least is based on a chemical analysis. It leaves out the form of the sulfur and how your body handles it. For example, meat and brazil nuts are not sulfury in the dietary reaction sense though cheese is. Peaches are not, I think they screwed up the analysis or had ones with a lot of sulfate in them. etc. Unrelated to what you will or won't react to. > > > > mustard 1280 total sulfur mg > > marmite 382 > > peanut 377 > > meat (beef) 203 > > brazil nuts 293 > > dried peaches 240 > > cheddar cheese 230 > > sunflower seeds 226 > > sesame seeds 221 > > horseradish 212 > > cashews 182 > > tea 177 > > chicken egg 170 > > dried apricots 164 > > oats 155 > > almonds 145 > > watercress 127 > > whole wheat flour 123 > > coffee 110 > > butter beans 109 > > walnuts 104 > > spinach 87 > > pecan 75 > > beef 73 > > coconut 64 > > onion 51 > > asparagus 47 > > brocolli 45 > > swiss chard 41 > > garlic 34 > > chocolate 32 > > milk 29 > > cabbage 27 > > corn 25 > > avocado 19 > > sweet potatoes 15 > > parsley 13 > > corn grits 12 > > tomato 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 if dean's list and the cananry sulfur list is no good, can someone please post a link to a useable list of foods to void? i've searched the files and links and can't find any sulfur list. also, in dean's list, why this discrepency? meat (beef) 203 beef 73 someone else said meat in general should not be a problem for sulfur. i'm very confused about this issue. gratefully, kendra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 > > can someone please post a link to a useable list of foods to void? > The list that Andy provides in Amalgam Illness is: eggs dairy products bakery products containing whey, cysteine, eggs or enzymes cabbage bok choy cauliflower broccoli broccoflower brussells sprouts kale turnip rutabaga asparagus onions shallots leeks garlic coffee Then, in an earlier post Andy said to add: beans peas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 > > i've been following the sulfur (how do you spell it??) I think sulphur is British and sulfur is American spelling. Canadians spell various words with a mix of each. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
