Sulfur Foods

[Guest guest]

I have also been trying to eat non-sulfur fiberous greens. For 2

months I have made an everyday staple of Earthbound Farm " Spring Mix "

I assumed this meant a lettuce mix. This post made me check

ingredients;

Spring Mix

Ingredients: Organic baby lettuces (red & green romaine, red & green

oak leaf, lollo rosa, tango), organic red & green chard, organic

mizuna, organic arugula, organic frisee, organic radicchio.

I had looked at the ingredients, I didn't really know what chard was,

thought it was some kind of lettuce.

So, according to the previous post, I have made another of many bad

decisions, and I have been paying for it.

In any event, are there any suggestions to Frances' post, i.e. how to

get fibreous greens w/out high sulfur?

What about wheatgrass or barleygrass (fresh or powder)? Does anyone

know if these are " sulfur foods " ?

I tried " Barleygreen " some time ago before I knew I was sulfur intolerant. It

really messed me up.

There just seem to be hardly any greens that I can tolerate now. I love spinach,

cabbage, beans, etc and now I can not have any of it.I'm glad you asked this

question to the list Frances as I am following the responses to it.

How ironic that most people don't eat veg or little of it, and we who LOVE it,

get ill from it :-)

I just pray that as we continue chelating that one day we will be able to have

some again. I'm looking forward to that time.I guess it's all about chelating,

chelating and then some more chelating :-)

I have Andy's list of low and high sulfur foods. Wheat and barley

grass are not listed. I know that he recommends against using the

powdered greens (he has mentioned that in several posts, but I don't

recall the reason, I assumed it was because of the high sulfur, there

could be other reasons as well like additives).

Looking through the list of low sulfur foods, the vegetables are all

kinds of squashes, lettuce, avocado, corn (high starch), french

artichokes, beets, potato (high starch), celery, sweet potato

(starch), bamboo shoots, carrots, pepper, water chestnuts. For those

wanting greens, try romaine salads every day. I can't eat any of the

ones I marked (starch).

If I remember correctly, I think I read a post a while back saying that

Andy didn't like powdered greens because they usually contain things

that can be bad for us such as cilantro.
