Re: Elimination diet, what do I do?

[Guest guest]

Also, I made a list of foods I know I can have (it's a short list, for sure!),

but again, I'm worried about not getting enough protein. The amaranth is a

complete protein, but how much I can have is another question.

Here's the list for the next 4 days:

Acorn Squash

Butternut Squash

Zucchini

Yellow Squash

Pumpkin Seeds

Sunflower Seeds

Brown Rice

Amaranth

Avocado (this is questionable, but I'm keeping it in for now)

Kiwi

Canatloupe

Watermelon

Cod Liver Oil (could this be a problem??)

Salt

Butter

I don't know about you, but I discovered a closet allergy to chicken and turkey

(and eggs)--a homeopath suggested it's cos poultry is how they grow

vaccines--some people are so allergic to eggs that it extends to other fowl. I'd

say try an actual TED and see if there aren't some meats you can eat. I do esp

well with grassfed meats (lamb, bison, grassfed beef). I don't know if you're an

O blood type, but if you are, beef and lamb are usually very compatible. Also

probs with meat are an enzyme issue oftentimes--I'd see a homeopath who will

work with your protocol to identify your particular causes and address them.

It'll save you a lot of wasted money on food you can't eat or have to throw out

after reacting to it--so the cost of the homeopath will prob break even pretty

quickly.

best wishes,

I have a couple questions:

Are you eating more phenols/salicylates because of your diet? That could be a

possible problem as far as headaches.

What are you doing for Candida? When I started chelating myself, I had horrible

problems with all foods. I had to take a break and get my yeast protocol in

force. It is possible that you just need more for candida: higher dosage

probiotics, caprylic acid, oil of oregano, cultured veggies maybe?, biotin,

Candex, Candidaise...to name a few. Take some charcoal after eating antifungals

and take probiotics after meals and before bed.

Have you tried taking Betaine HCl with your meats? Sometimes you don't have

enough stomach acid and either the HCl or baking soda can help you digest the

meat.

I don't know why you have this problem specifically with turkey. I do know that

the turkey we have here is probably full of antibiotics and I am not very

comfortable buying it compared to other meats that are available that are local

or organic. Maybe someone else has some insight on the particular reaction to

turkey.
