Food List -- Part 2

[Guest guest]

Here's an eerie tidbit to keep in mind as you read the food list. A

friend who studies this area told me that 18th century Saxon lore

says village shamans and healers believed that you choose plants and

herbs that resemble the body part that needs healing. Back then, they

used cruciferous vegetables to heal lungs ailments.

Interestingly, if you look at broccoli and brussel sprouts still on

the stalk, then you see how these cruciferous vegetables resemble the

bronchioles and alveoli in the lungs. And coincidently, both of these

are high in sulfur. Other sulfur-rich foods are garlic, onions,

asparagus, cauliflower, and cabbage. Okay... on with the list:

Include the following foods in your diet throughout the week, some

you will eat daily. This is not a complete list, but these are

important because they contain either:

1) flavonoids crucial to the CFTR

2) omega-3 essential fatty acids

3) sulfur/sulphoraphane

4) vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants necessary to CF.

Each food is coded as follows:

A = vitamin A

B = B-6 or B-12

C = vitamin C

Ca = calcium

E = vitamin E

Fe = iron

H = biotin

K = vitamin K

Mg = magnesium

N = niacin

O = omega-3

P = potassium

Pro = protein

Q = quercetin (or other flavonoids)

S = sulfur

SF = sulphoraphane

Se = selenium

Apples and apple juice (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P, Q)

Avocadoes (A, C, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, N, P)

Bananas (A, K, Mg, P)

Black walnuts (not English walnuts) (A, Ca, K, O, Mg, P, Pro, Se)

Brussels sprouts, fresh or frozen (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P, Pro, S, SF)

Broccoli (and broccoli sprouts) spears or cuts, fresh or frozen (A,

C, Ca, K, Mg, Q, S, SF)

Cantaloupe (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P)

Carrots (A, Ca, K, Mg)

Canola oil (E, O)

Cherries (C, Q)

Cranberries and cranberry juice (A, C, K, P, Q)

Dark green, leafy lettuces such as romaine, but not iceberg lettuce

(Mg, Se)

Eggs (E, H, K, Pro, S, Se, O)

Flax seed, flax seed meal, or flax seed oil (O)

Hummus (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P, Pro)

Garlic, raw (Ca, K, P, S, Se)

Grapefruit, pink (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P, Q)

Grapes (red or purple) and frozen grape juice (A, K, Mg, P, Q)

Green beans, fresh or frozen (A, Ca, K, Mg, P)

Green peas, fresh or frozen (A, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, P, Pro, Se)

Green tea (K, Q)

Olive oil (E, O)

Onions (Ca, K, P, S, Se)

Oranges (fresh navel or Valencia) and orange juice (A, C, Ca, K, Mg,

P, Q)

Pineapple (fresh) or frozen pineapple juice (A, C, Ca, K, Mg, P, Q)

Pumpkin (canned or fresh) (A, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, P)

Salmon, fresh or canned (A, B-12, Ca, E, K, Mg, N, O, P, Pro, Se)

Spinach, fresh or frozen (A, C, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, P, Pro, S)

Sweet potatoes (not yams) (A, C, Ca, K, P, Pro, Se)

Tuna, fresh or canned in water, not oil except olive oil (A, B-12,

Ca, K, N, O, P, Pro, Se)

Wheat germ (K, P, Pro, Mg)

Other fruits with high value: nectarine, peach, mango, papaya,

blueberries, strawberries, pear, tangerine, and kiwi. Eat a variety

of colors and textures; eat at least three fruits per day; you can

substitute a 6-oz. glass of pure juice for a serving of fruit but eat

at least three fruits per day. Fruits are necessary for their

specific flavonoids, fiber, and natural enzymes.

Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark green, orange, and red.

Chard, collards, and purslane are very nutritious. Corn is far lower

in vitamins and minerals compared to ones in the food list (though,

Bird's Eye Frozen Corn on the Cob is very high in Mg).

You can grate vegetables such as carrot, cabbage, brussel sprouts and

broccoli then mix into beef or turkey patties and meatloaf before

cooking; add additional vegetables to soups and stews. If you grate

the vegetables then children aren't likely to notice.

Buy fresh garlic, not minced garlic packed in a jar with oil.

Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and herring are highest in omega-3. Choose

omega-3 enriched eggs, such as Eggland's Best.

Look for beef, buffalo or other game that is labeled free range or

grass fed. This is higher in omega-3 than corn fed or grain fed

animals. Eat pork only sparingly. If you eat turkey or chicken, buy

free-range whenever possible.

Whenever possible, try to buy organic foods to avoid antibiotics,

hormones, pesticides, and heavy metals. Pesticides and heavy metals

store in the liver competing for the same space as minerals, often

causing mineral deficiencies.

Dairy products are good sources of calories, protein, and calcium if

you can tolerate dairy. Look for cheese labeled " high oleic " (not too

many places carry it, and only one dairy in Wisconsin is a certified

producer).

Remember: more fat in milk means more calories, but less calcium and

protein. You're better off drinking 2%, 1.5%, 1% or nonfat, whichever

you prefer. (Or mix equal parts whole milk and nonfat milk.) Dairy

products contain:

Milk (A, Ca, K, Pro, P, Mg)

2% Cottage cheese (A, Ca, K, Mg, P, Pro, Se)

Cream cheese (A, Ca, K, P, Pro)

Mozzarella (A, Ca, K, P, Pro)

Swiss cheese (A, Ca, P, Pro, Se)

Yogurt (Ca, K, P, Pro)

Carnation Instant Breakfast tastes good and is better for you than

Scandishakes. It's worth the cost if you need extra calories,

protein, and calcium.

Buy yogurt containing live acidophilus cultures to maintain healthy

flora in the intestinal tract; this is especially important while

you're on antibiotics. You want to avoid leaky gut syndrome, which

can lead to allergies and food sensitivities. Probiotics are

available at pharmacies and health food stores. Look for probiotics

containing several different cultures, not just acidophilus, and one

with an enteric coating.

Below is a list of foods and beverages to avoid. Always read

ingredient labels to avoid buying products containing things such as

beef or animal tallow, lard, corn oil, palm or palm kernel oil,

soybean oil, cottonseed oil, coconut oil, and anything labeled

hydrogenated.

Avoid Tylenol (acetaminophen) it depletes Glutathione (GSH). Avoid

Nutrasweet (aspartame) this is an excitoxin with long-term health

implications (read labels of chewing gum, toothpaste, all " diet "

and " sugar-free " foods and beverages).

Avoid oils except canola, olive, or high-oleic safflower or high-

oleic sunflower.

Fresh, raw, or frozen single-ingredient foods are better for you.

Avoid over-processed and prepackaged foods as much as possible, but

especially avoid foods containing the wrong types of oils and fats.

You'll find bad fats and oils in:

-Ready made bakery items such as cookies, cakes, breads, rolls, pie

crusts, and tortillas

-Mixes for cookies, cakes, quick breads, muffins, biscuits, pancakes

-Tub frosting, frosting mix, pie crust and pizza dough mixes

-Refrigerated and frozen cookie dough, pie crusts; canned biscuits

and rolls

-Frozen pizzas and frozen dinners

-Frozen and refrigerated whipped toppings

-Refrigerated and powdered nondairy coffee creamers and cocoa mixes

-Packaged " helper " type pasta dinners

-Canned soups and stews, refried beans, peanut butter

-Mayonnaise, salad dressing, margarine, shortening, lard

Butter is better for you than margarine. You can mix softened butter

with olive or canola oil to create your own spreads. You may wish to

avoid all butter, beef and pork during times of increased

inflammation.

You can monitor inflammation by noticing the amount and viscosity of

mucus. Low mucus equals low inflammation; greater mucus equals

greater inflammation. The goal is to decrease inflammation as much as

possible to avoid damaging and scarring lungs, sinuses, intestines,

pancreas, liver, and gall bladder.

Read labels of the cereal you buy. Cream of wheat, cream of rice,

oatmeal, Bite-size Frosted Mini-Wheats, and Honey-Nut Cheerios are

good choices if you don't have a wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity.

Watch out for bad fats, too much sugar, too many additives, and added

colors.

Following are a few brands I found that contain acceptable

ingredients:

Alessi bread sticks: several varieties; I buy these instead of

crackers; made with olive oil, not lard or other oils. Good for

dipping with hummus.

Athenos hummus: good ingredients and tastes good; several varieties.

Good dip for baby carrots, celery sticks, pita bread, and Alessi

bread sticks.

Garden of Eatin chips: expensive but very yummy; made with canola oil

(or make your own chips by slicing sweet potatoes or red potatoes,

toss with olive oil and spices, then bake at 400-degrees).

Langer's Cranberry-Grape 100 juice: (don't confuse it with their

Cranberry-Grape Cocktail); this is real juice, no sugar added;

contains added magnesium, grapeseed extract, and coenzyme Q10. Very

much worth the cost (about $3.50 for a 64-oz. bottle so stock up when

it's on sale). For young children, you can dilute 1 part juice to 2

parts water.

Natural Ovens bread: high in omega-3; made with flax. If it's not

sold in your area you can buy from their web site at

http://www.naturalovens.com. Unfortunately, they switched from canola

oil to sunflower oil, but they only use a minimal amount.

Ocean Spray Cranraisins: great to tuck away as a snack and very good

for you. Make your own snackmix with Cranraisins, walnuts, dry-

roasted peanuts, pumpkin seeds, dry-roasted sunflower seeds, raisins,

and other dried fruits. The protein in the nuts will help calm during

high-stress times. Drink green tea with it and you're good to go!

Safeway and Dominicks grocery store has a store brand called Select.

Select spaghetti sauce is cheaper and better for you than Hunts,

Ragu, Prego, etc. Select uses only olive oil; Ragu uses cottonseed,

corn oil, or soybean.

Select brand makes a good salsa too; it contains corn and black

beans; use it for chips or mix salsa into a baked potato with butter,

shredded mozzarella cheese, and Daisy sour cream for a high calorie

energy snack. (Daisy is pure sour cream without added junk.)

Peanut butter: manufacturers add lots of sugar and bad oils like

cottonseed or soybean. Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter contains only

peanuts. When the jar is new, you'll see the peanut oil floating on

top; just stir the oil into the peanut butter to mix, then store in

the fridge. It won't separate again. Read labels, maybe you can find

a natural peanut butter cheaper than Smucker's. Stir some flax seeds

into the peanut butter to use for sandwiches or as a dip for apples,

carrots, and celery.

Okay, this is too long and I'm beat. I'll try to get to the spices

and herbs later in the week. Or, can do it! Hah!

Kim,

Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together for all of

us. It is great information. Do you have the name of the dairy in

Wisconsin that produces " high oleic " cheese?

Thanks gain!!

Hi Gale,

You're welcome for the information. Here's a fabulous web site called

Eat Wild. http://www.eatwild.com/index.html It has useful information

and a map for locating healthy foods grown in your area, or producers

that will ship to you. Are you in Wisconsin?

Here's the web site of that cheese producer http://fullcirclefarm.net/

I always meant to place an order with them but keep forgetting.

loves cheese; he loves anything except green beans and lima beans. As

a kid, he used to stand with his nose pressed against the grocery

store meat cases, staring at all the cuts of meat and wondering what

people do with pigs feet (I wonder too).

We grew most of our own foods on our farm, including beef. We'd trade

beef with our other rancher friends for pork and lamb. Our meat came

back from the butcher wrapped in white paper, not plastic, so I

understood 's grocery store curiosity. To him, seeing meat

displayed like that must have been like seeing a secret let out of the

bag.

would do the same thing standing at the fish counter. As a kid

his favorite fish was orange roughy but he always wanted to try exotic

sounding seafood like squid and swordfish, and he had this weird

preoccupation with shark. He kept hinting strongly that we should

try shark.

One time -- 5th grade I think? -- he wasn't feeling very well and

didn't have a very good check up. I was really down about it, and it

was times like these that I practically stood on my head to turn the

situation around. So I bought a small shark filet, just for him. I

remember he was in awe, standing in the kitchen unwrapping that hunk

of shark. He was like a kitchen scientist, going through the spice

cupboard, seasoning the shark and cooking it himself. He said it

tasted okay, but I think he was disappointed that it didn't taste

really remarkable.

One year for his Christmas stocking, I got him a sampler of four cans

of game meats: elk, buffalo... can't remember the other two. He loves

trying new things, and if it sounds exotic, all the better.

In November 2001, three months after I moved to Chicago, he taught

himself how to make sushi and California rolls. He called me late one

night, inviting me over to try his new skill, so I put the dog on his

leash and we walked over to 's apartment. He had three

roommates at the time, and they were all wandering in and out of the

kitchen eating sushi as fast as could roll it out.

A few months later, he called, again late at night, asking how to make

chocolate dipped strawberries. I used to make them frequently as a way

to get extra fruit into the family, but they just thought it was a

classy dessert. His girlfriend had never had chocolate dipped

strawberries before so he decided to make some for her. Another time,

they decided to make an apple pie from scratch, so again, 10:00 at

night he's tapping on my back door for cinnamon, a pie pan, and a

recipe for pie crust that doesn't use shortening.

, on the other hand, can barely operate a can opener. If you

want to cook at 's apartment, first you have to blow the dust

and cobwebs off her stove. Whenever I go home to visit, she asks me to

make chicken soup to stock her freezer. She loves the soup when she

doesn't feel well, and even though she has my recipe, she says it's

not the same because I didn't make it. She knows what a sucker I am!

Gale; you can do it with any bread machine, provided that you buy

HIGH PROTEIN (19-20) BREAD FLOUR, whole wheat and just through

stuff in as you will--just add enough sweetening to raise the yeast and

enough yeast to raise the dough--the stuff does not have to be fluffy!

You can just take any basic bread recipe and convert it to the healthful

kind. I use the Tassajara Bread Book, but there are lots of new ones

out there!

Have fun!

Kim,

I'm in Ohio, but we lived in the Milwaukee area for several years.

Great food in Wisconsin!!! I plan to order some of this cheese. We

eat lots of cheese. Probably too much!

I'll check out the " eat wild " website. Toni (Abby's mom; my

daughter) drove into Columbus to a big health food store after

reading the Omega Diet book. I am glad to see Toni so interested in

this. They are eating fish and cooking with the good oils. They

even purchased free range chicken and eggs. Following this diet

helps them to feel less like victims of CF and more in control.

I have a bread machine and I would like to find a bread recipe that

uses olive oil and flax seed. I don't suppose that you have one???

We took Abby out for breakfast today. She is such a good eater. She

had scrambled eggs (with added olive oil), toast, sausage, bacon and

cranberry juice. It's nice to have Abby living so close by.

Abby sleeps a lot. Do all children with CF sleep a lot? She sleeps

10+ hours per night and also takes a 2 to 4 hour nap in the

afternoon. Her cultures are negative and she seems healthy.

Thanks,

Gale

[Guest guest]

Kim,

your kids sound like a hoot. I imagine my oldest being lie your

son. He loves to cook in the kitchen with me. I can not wait until he

comes knocking at my back door for help.

sounds so funny. My sister is the exact same way. When we

used to live near each other she pracically ate over everynight because

she refused !!!!!!! to cook for herself. Now that we live almost 2000

miles apart she has somewhat adapted. You story of made me wish

I was home again cooking for my sister.

Thanks for inducing the memories

n,

Thanks for the info. What kind of sweetening do you mean? I didn't

know that sweetener activates the yeast. I thought that it was the

water that activated it. Do you have a bread machine? I love fresh

baked bread. I have an old bread machine recipe book. I'll try

converting a recipe and see how I do.

Thanks,

Gale
