Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Sulfur Food- Andy Link [snip] Of the things posted previously in this thread, I think green beans are sulfury, as are dandelion and spinach. -- ------------------------------------ Argh...I'm running out of things to eat... Can someone please confirm whether green beans (haricot verts) are high in sulfur? It's all I'm eating right now. I have high copper and I've been eliminating copper foods from my diet. I also struggle with Candida and follow an anti-yeast diet. In addition, I'm avoiding all nightshade and salicylate veggies (because of inflammation) and I'm not eating any sulfur foods. My stomach gets irritated whenever I eat tomatoes, eggplants, spices and zucchini. I get spaced out and my stomach burns from eating cabbage, cauliflower, rutabaga, turnips, broccoli and eggs. Brown rice and lentils makes me yeasty. I eat a lot of non-organic beef, turkey, and lamb. I used to eat a lot of pork but have recently stopped because I am not sure if it is bothering me. I will try pork again in a few days. I tried carrots for the first time in a year today, and my stomach is irritated. I am not sure why this would be. I'm left with green beans and celery.

I will try pork again in a few days. I believe there is a post in onibasu where Andy says green beans are sulfury. Maybe this is outdated. Your personal experience is important. If you are not noticing problems with them, and if you are pretty tuned in to symptoms, then you are probably fine eating them. Can you eat lettuce? You may find a type that is okay for you. Have you tried No-Fenol? Epsom salt baths and/or creams? Molybdenum? These may help if you are sensitive to phenols. NAET could be helpful if some of this is foods you are directly sensitive to. -- > I tried carrots for the first time in a year today, and my stomach is > irritated.

[] I heard some good and not-so-good things about NAET, so I'm a bit skeptical. My budget is a bit tight and I was hoping to get some improvements with added sulfates and other supps.

Andy has posted that this was an error and beans are in fact sulfury. String beans are not the prototypical bean, but they are legumes and seems to me they would be included. > Your personal experience is important.

If you tolerate them sulfur-wise, then you may just have to limit them to an amount that doesn't bother your stomach. > Can you eat lettuce?

If you need the sulfate, soaking your whole body will be far more effective. I would start with a small amount, or even just start doing the foot baths regularly for a while, and see how you do. I started with too much epsom salts at once and had a lot of strange symptoms from it, so I'd say just work up and make sure you are comfortable with it. I also get symptoms back if I don't do them often enough. I feel soooo much better if I take them regularly - epsom salts are like heaven to me (I need the magnesium more than the sulfate). > Molybdenum? > > [] I've taken moly for some time before realizing that the brand I > was using (Nutricology) contains citric acid which irritated my stomach even > more.

Even if it works somewhat, it may not be enough, so I would try epsom salt baths, or use cream. > NAET could be helpful if some of this is foods you are directly > sensitive to. > > [] I heard some good and not-so-good things about NAET, so I'm a bit > skeptical.

I would suggest trying it sometime if there is something you have a lot of trouble with and can't find an easier/cheaper solution. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
