diet

[Guest guest]

Here is the diet from that site Sharon sent. I find it very interesting because

I have already been avoiding most of these foods for years. Not because of mold

but just because those foods made me sick when I ate them. I do eat bread,

however. I refrigerate my bread. Does anyone do this? I also eat tomatoes but

only cooked ones and they do not seem to bother me. But raw romatoes definitely

do. I don't drink at all and haven't for a few years. I also drink some fruit

juice ... hmmm -- does it matter if it is made from concentrate??? I don't

think it bothers me. And I eat eggs which definitely do not bother me. I only

eat them from very high quality small farms -- I don't know if that makes a

difference in terms of mold or not.

But I do find it so interesting that MOST of the items I have not been eating

already for years.

Foods to Avoid!

- NO dried fruit; raisons, apricots, prunes, figs, etc.

- NO aged cheese of any kind - Some cheeses are acceptable if milk is

tolerable, e.g., cottage cheese, mozzarella, provolone, ricotta and farmer's

cheese.

- NO mushrooms or fungi whatsoever, such as truffles, even avoid sprouts.

- NO Leftovers- Eat within 24 hours, unless frozen (microwave frozen food to

thaw quickly)

- NO Breads. Malted means moldy. Dough conditioners are moldy. Sourdough or

sourdough starter is the worst. (Sometimes labeled yeast-free) Bread develops

surface mold within a day. Some tortillas, biscuits, muffins, cakes and cookies

are usually yeast free, yet high in sugar content. You can buy sprouted bread

with no yeast (Not sourdough) at the health food store.

- NO Sauerkraut. It has been fermented.

- NO Tomato Products; Juice, sauce, paste, ketchup, etc., are made from moldy

tomatoes.

- NO Beer - The darker the beer, the more mold it contains.

- NO Wine & Wine Vinegar - White wine is least moldy; clear vinegar may be

tolerated.

- NO liquor - Vodka, tequila, clear rums are least moldy.

- Be careful of multi-B Vitamins - Many contain either yeast or mold (Rice

hulls are moldy). Some are

alright. Check with manufacturer. See note below on Aspergillus fermentation

process.

- NO cider or fruit juice (juice contains mold as it is made with old fruit).

- NO Pickled and smoked meats and fish, including processed delicatessen

foods, sausages, salami, bologna, frankfurters, corned beef and pickled tongue.

- NO eggs

- NO melons, except watermelon if very fresh and eaten same day.

rosanne,

Here is a pretty good mold free diet guide.

But KC is right. Its trial and error of what works for you. Bleu cheese

still bothers me some. But, I love it so I eat it. Just not as much as I would

like to.
