Re: Help, loosing weight at an alarming rate!

October 7, 2010

I'm sorry that you are going through such a hard time.

I eat a lot of avocados, coconut oil and olive oil. I am 5-7 pounds underweight

right now. I was eating ghee but I may be reacting to that as well. I can't have

dairy like yogurt or DCCC. I can eat egg yolks so far. I have terrible reactions

to egg white. I eat a lot of cooked carrots and one banana daily.

Good luck and take care,

June

reactions with carrots and bananas. Finally tried walnut butter(made it) and

date blendered , added water for a smoothie.

Avocados blendered with garlic and lemon juice.

Ate cheese again and got fever and shaky and nausea, so will stop that. Hope you

find what works and keep getting well!

It's good to test eggs separately. Just be aware that one can be

allergic to the yolks and OK with the whites, which is how I've always

been. So if the yolks don't work for you give a little taste to egg

white sometime and see about that.

Thank you. I think I will try egg yolks since eggs hurt me last time

but I never separated the whites out.

n,

I totally agree with you. I was just reflecting on that today - thinking about

how even though I eat ALL this fat now, I still don't gain any weight, and my

tummy is almost flat now. I am pretty standard weight, and lost about 10 pounds

from starting SCD a few monts ago - but I am still at an average weight, pants

size 8-10 girl. Anyhow, I saw a GI doc today, and when I mentioned the coconut

oil helping my pain/inflamation go down, she wasn't surprised. I still think

it's a great addition to this diet (if one tolerates it okay) but it isn't a

weight gainer. But I can totally see how carbs are! If I were to eat a few days

of SAD diet (pizza, bagels, homemade bread) I bet I would gain 10 pounds in a

week! Probably 20 pounds in a month! Not recommended at all, but ture. So I

would say, ya, to gain weight, load up on legal carbs! Which my understanding

is, is not a good idea when fighting yeast? Maybe try drinking extra amounts of

fruit juice, like welches, I imagine it's more easliy digested, so it wouldn't

be able to feed as many bad bugs in your gut. Just a hunch. OJ, if you can

handle it. I can only do Welches 100% Purple Grape personally. Maybe some

fruit/yogur smoothies too. Wish I knew how to offer better advice! Just know

that others of us are going through some similar frustrations - after finding

out the GI wants me to have $2,600 in more tests, (my lousy insurance has a

$7,500 deductible) well, I am going to start seeing a naturopath instead! And I

found one who wrote a book on anti-inflamatory diets, sounds like she is pretty

clued in, so I hope I am on the right trail.

Wish you the best!

Great idea. Is honey ok when I have brisk d? Another post here suggested honey

may feed yeast overgrowth, and just started takin s. Bouldarii to see if that's

the issue.

I did eat a fruit smoothie for 2 months and lots of when things were going well,

is that any indication of how it will go reintroducing honey ?

Hope the visits go well. Keep us in the loop. Suck re: insurance deductible.

I am trying to get some legal cider because the grape juice hurt my stomach the

first time around. But will try oj as well.

I, too miss carbs from the old times and really do appreciate your imput. It

keeps things in perspective.

Thanks for the tips.
