Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks Dana. I think Ruby has hypothyroidism. I read that they can't convert luteins and carotenes. So, I am doing Sara's diet and doing this iodine test to see if she is deficient in iodine. Thanks so much, I am cutting OLE too as much as I don't want to. > > > > The soles of my daughter's feet are always orange, or yellowish.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi , Thank for mentioning 's diet, I have looked it up and found it very interesting. My family has true celtic skin. We are all really white, however, the rest of my family is blue white and I am yellow white (espcially my hands and feet(more orange). I have often wondered about this. My son has been on a restricted diet which has included a lot of pumkin and people have often commented on his colour. He has been hypothyoid in the past. I no longer have a thyroid. Where in the book did you read the thyroid connection? Is it under co-occuring conditions? Just got to that bit in the book? Does you child also have any iron issues? Dana - do I really have to give up the OLE? We started to see speech when we introduced this. We have tried virastop and my son really hates it, but I cannot tell if this would make a good replacement. I am still reading the book, but wanted to get these facts straigh now while the top. Much thanks Una Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ruby is very fair as well and so is my 9 month old. I am yellow and so is my mom, very strange I never thought of this. I don't know if I read the hypothyroid part in the book or not. I googled 'orange feet' and got a lot on hypothyroidism. A lot of the symptoms really fit Ruby. The orange feet have always bothered me and now I know she can't process luteins or carotenes. I didn't want to stop the OLE either, but I had to. I had to stop chelation too, because I cannot get rid of her pinworms, they just keep coming back. I think this diet will work well for her though, she is already doing new things and a rash that has been on her bum for a long time is clearing up. I also took egg whites away. > > Hi , > > Thank for mentioning 's diet, I have looked it up and > found it very interesting. My family has true celtic skin.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sorry to jump into the conversation, but what is Sara's Diet?? I've been trying to figure out which way to go with diets. Is there a link to inf. on this?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 http://www.saras-autism-diet.freeservers.com/ You can read about it there. You have to buy the pdf file for $5 to get the list of foods allowed. We started the diet on Sunday and it's been pretty good. This is the third diet we are trying and for the first time I am seeing great things right away. Ruby has had a rash on her bum for a long, long time. Nothing gets rid of it and I noticed this morning that it's going away. I took her off of eggs completely. The diet allows egg whites, but I just decided to take them away fully. I cannot believe her rash is getting better this fast. She also did really well with her ABA yesterday. I didn't notice things this fast with the SCD. The writers of the diet are great too, they will help you along. The hard part is finding recipes. You really have to get creative. Right now, it's turnip fries, lamb meatloaf, chicken meatloaf and potato fries! She is loving this diet so far, she can still have her gluten free pancakes and bread. I would recommend this diet to anyone. > > > Sorry to jump into the conversation, but what is Sara's Diet?? I've > been trying to figure out which way to go with diets.

Thyroid hormone is required for the proper conversion of carotenes into vitamin A. At my house, this required supplementation with selenium, to correct the thyroid problem. > Dana - do I really have to give up the OLE? You may not need to, especially if you are noticing gains and no regressions from it. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 > > Hello, > > My name is and I am wondering what would cause orange feet - just the bottoms. > > I have not been eating any excess of vitamin A that I know of. > +++Hi . That is usually caused by beta-carotene found in plant foods, which is high in carrots, parnips, beets, etc. But many other foods contain carotene too. Beta carotene is a form of vitamin A that the body must convert in order to utilize it. Candida sufferers aren't as able to convert beta-carotene so it can show up as an orange tinge to the skin. Just ensure you are only consuming foods on this diet. This too should pass, given enough time on this program. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 FYI from Wikipedia: he following foods are particularly rich in carotenes[1] (also see Vitamin A article for amounts): * sweet potatoes[2] * carrots[2][3] * wolfberries (goji)[4] * cantaloupe melon[5] * mangoes[6] * apricots[6] * Persimmon[3] * spinach[2][3] * kale[2][3] * chard[3] * turnip greens[2][3] * dandelion greens[3] * beet greens[3] * mustard greens[3][7] * collard greens[2] * watercress[3] * cilantro[2] * fresh thyme[2] * broccoli[3] * parsley[3] * romaine lettuce[2] * ivy gourd[8] * rose hips[9] * winter squash[2][3] * pumpkin[3] * cassava[10] Absorption from these foods is enhanced if eaten with fats, as carotenes are fat soluble, and if the food is cooked for a few minutes until the plant cell wall splits and the colour is released into any liquid. 6 & #956;g of dietary & #946;-carotene supplies the equivalent of 1 & #956;g of retinol, or 1 RE (Retinol Equivalent). This is equivalent to 3 & #8531; IU of vitamin A. > > > > Hello, > > > > My name is and I am wondering what would cause orange feet - just the bottoms. > > > > I have not been eating any excess of vitamin A that I know of. > > > +++Hi .
