Re: Hi Im new coconut flour question and question about fiber

June 3, 2009

HI a,

My issue has been sleeping a lot and it gets better if I just stay on meats and

eggs and some vegs as well and I need to sleep more when I try to add nut flour,

etc. What I have found is that I need to sleep more when I eat anything that

seems to wash out my intestines. So all skins of veggies (like zuccini skins)

and fibrous parts of asparagus and broccoli ( bottom half of these) and nuts

must be avoided or my sleep returns.

I can't speak to your coconut flour but what I have found is that I am

hypothyroid and I am now taking thryoid medicine to see if that makes a

difference with this.

For years, I have had to deal with tiredness of needing to sleep during the day

and it was as if fiber or cleansing foods, like garlic, etc- " washed out " the

hormones from my body, my estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid and tests showed

that these hormones were lowered when I would eat fiber or other cleansing

foods.

Is any of this familiar? Do you need to avoid other cleansing foods?

> Hi I am on the Gaps diet so is my son who is autistic. I have read Gaps and

Elaine scd book. I have been on the diet since January and cant seem to get

past the basic diet of meat eggs and some veg. I have tried almond flour and

pecan nut flour and goats yogurt of wich I seem to be intolerant to all. I get a

distended stomach wich improved whilst on basic diet but all these foods and it

distends again and also have needed 9 to 10 hours sleep for quite a few years

yet if I stick to basic diet I only need about 7 hours sleep. Its amazing really

I can have a few hours more a day less sleep with food. Yet with above foods

sleep reverted back to 9 or 10 hours. Lost too much weight over 2 stones. Thats

why I tried above foods but had to stop them.

> I was wondering if any one has made muffins or biscuits out of coconut flour

and if any one has any recipes. Im sure coconut flour is ok on this diet. Dont

think its high in calories but the fat in making muffins etc may help me put

weight on.
