+++Hi ,

If you eat any carbs (all foods not classified as protein and fat) that are raw

you can get gas, bloating and odours, because humans do not have enzymes that

break down fibers which are the cell walls, call cellulose, in them - see this

article (my website isn't just for candida sufferers so that's why fruits are in

this article):

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php

Consuming anything that is antifungal doesn't cause gas, since it isn't possible

to kill off fungus/candida anyway, as I written about many times. That's why I

don't recommend antifungals, except for foods that provide other benefits, like

unrefined coconut oil.

Carbs that are unfermented or not cooked long enough to break down fibres causes

gas, since it forces your large intestines to break down the undigested material

which can only occur by fermentation inside the body.

Fermentation means your large intestines will be loaded with all kinds of

bacteria, including yeast, in order to break down fibers. That is the main

cause all kinds of bowel problems.

All the best, Bee

if candida can't be killed off then why do we experience healing reactions?

isn't gas a healing reaction?

I have fructose malabsorbtion and hope this diet helps to heal me/lessen the

severity of these reactions. Onion is the worst for me, gives me terrible gas

and discomfort, noisy tummy and diarrhea. Garlic is also bad in anything other

than minimal quantities. I use an Indian spice called asafoetida as a

replacement for the flavours (tastes similar).

+++Hi ,

All reactions and symptoms are actually healing and detoxifying reactions. In

fact all dis-ease processes are actually healing/ detoxifying processes, with

the only difference being that a person on this healthy program is progressing

towards health rather than becoming more and more unhealthy, or dis-eased.

The medical field labels each and every " sign " of poor health as separate

dis-eases, illnesses, symptoms, etc. instead of calling them what they actually

are, i.e. " signs " the body is working hard at maintaining its health in spite of

poor nutrition, toxins, etc., which means it is trying to heal and detoxify

itself.

Some reactions are caused by consuming foods that are not prepared properly for

human consumption like carbs that aren't fermented or cooked long enough. Our

ancestors " knew " how to prepare such foods, while the food industry and people

today don't.

Hi Bern,

Onions are high in sulfur, which is one of 7 macrominerals the body needs in

order to be healthy, so it causes healing and detoxifying reactions. This is

not a bad thing!

I'm not sure what asfoetida is. Can you provide info or a link?

Fructose malabsorption shouldn't be a problem on this diet, since we don't

consume any fructose (unless we have lemon/lime juice in our egg drink, for

example).

I just had to chime in on this post. I have fructose malabsorbtion and even

cooking onion, leeks, garlic etc. to the MAX, I still get brain fog and bloating

because of the fructans in them. Cooking doesn't breakdown fructans. (Onions are

the worst for me too).

It's not sulphur because I get it with anything containing fructans, including

green beans.

I don't think many people are familiar with it on this list and I encourage

anyone to do some research.

+++Hi Natalia,

I understand about fructose very well, and it is false that anyone can have

mal-absorption problems with it. That is because of how the body so easily

absorbs it, and it also goes through a different route in the body than glucose

which is more direct.

Your symptoms are not caused by fructose malabsorption, instead they are typical

healing and detoxifying reactions to toxins!

If fructose in the vegetables I recommend were a problem, everyone would have

problems on this program. However, those that follow the program accurately

have great successes.

Your body isn't any different than anyone else's. We are all the same species.

Hi andra,

Like I said, asafoetida is an indian spice, used to replace the flavor of onion

and garlic. Here are a couple of links with info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-asafoetida.htm

It is also high in sulfar, like onion. It must be eaten cooked, as it causes

gastrointestinal disturbances otherwise, and it doesn't smell or taste very good

when not cooked!

Hope this helps,

Bern

Thanks for providing those links, Bern.

Since asafoetida is high in sulfur I imagine it could have similar healing

effects on the body such as onions - but of course this may vary with the

person.

However if you prefer the taste of onions, it seems to me it is worthwhile

beginning to incorporate them back into your diet in small amounts If you

do, I would take it slow, in the same way those who have reactions to eggs add

eggs gradually back into their diets.

Best,

There is such a thing as " fructose intolerance " . I found some pages about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001399

It recommends removing fructose and sucrose (which contains fructose) from the

diet. This won't do you any harm at all - quite the contrary!

Long video about the harmfulness of fructose:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM & feature=related

It is a misconception that you need to eat fruit for vitamin C. There is

vitamin C in meat and vegetables.

Glucose competes with Vitamin C, so a low carb diet is a good idea.
