diet questions -- what about these foods??

[Guest guest]

I've been reading the recent posts about caveman diet. We have been gfcf for 2.5

years. still battling yeast. I googled caveman diet and got some info, but still

have

questions.

Are the following foods allowed: apple juice, wattered-down orange juice, mango

juice, passion fruit? What about berries, and carrots?

Also, How do you get true green veggies into your kids. The only veggies mine

will

eat are potatoes, corn, and peas. (I know those are out).

He loves popcorn cooked in V. coconut oil (Guess that's out too)

We do lots of peanut butter. Do we need to switch to almond butter?

The hardest thing for us to give up will be Rice!!!! Rice milk, rice crackers,

my

homemade bread. He seems to crave carbs with dinner.

Do you give any sweets with alternative sweetners like xylitol, or stevia?

I found this website with recipes, but I'm not sure they are all " legal "

I Googled it as well and realized there are a couple of people who used the term

Caveman

Diet.

Sorry about that. The only information that I have published is on this page.

Anything else is someone elses diet.

Now on to your questions. I'll answer in CAPS

PEELED APPLE ONLY, NO ORANGE JUICE, NO MANGO (NOT IN THE BEGINNING), NO PASSION

FRUIT, NO BERRIES, CARROTS.

NO POTATOES, NO CORN, YES TO PEAS!

HOW DID I GET THEM IN TO BEGIN WITH? I PROCESSED THEM INTO MEAT AND PUT

ORGANIC CATSUP ON IT.

THAT OUT.

100% ALMOND IS FINE IF YOU HAVE DONE AN IGG FOOD ALLERGY TEST BY BLOOD (GREAT

PLAINS, GREAT SMOKIES, DOCTORS DATA, ETC).

MY SON WAS REACTIVE TO ALMONDS. WE MOVED TO WALNUT.

YES, YOU CAN ADD SOME NUTS IF YOU DO AN IGG FOOD ALLERGY TEST FIRST (THE TESTS I

MENTIONED ABOVE)

SURE HE CRAVES IT. HE'S ADDICTED TO THE SUGAR AND THE ALCOHOL THAT IF

FERMENTED IN HIS GUT FROM THE RICE AND THE CARBS. OF COURSE HE'LL CRAVE IT.

THAT'S THE REASON TO CUT IT OUT.

JUST GIVE IT ONE WEEK AND YOU'LL SEE A CHANGE.

I DO USE SWEETENERS IF I NEED TO, BUT I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS BEST.

WE USE CRYSTAL LIGHT FOR JUICE.

REMEMBER - REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER OR DISTILLED WITH ADDED MINERALS (YOU NEED

ADDED MINERALS IN DISTILLED WATER OR IT WILL PULL MINERALS OUT OF YOUR CHILD).

REGULAR DISTILLED WATER IS NOT FOR DRINKING.

If I have reverse osmosis water is there a mineral someone can recommend

that I add to the water?

We use lots of the CellFood by Lumina Health for our son, Google and Froogle it, should be able to get under $20 or right at $20, one little bottle lasts a long time. I use the cheaper and less effective Water Oz Water of Life minerals, 4X strength, for me because this stuff is all so expensive and I can economize a little that way. I don't suggest the Water Oz for children that are reactive/allergic, somehow it has a little something in it my son cannot tolerate but I get great results on it for myself (www.wateroz.com).When we added minerals, we had to start slow and work up, especially with CellFood. There is a little bit of a working it all out tiredness and recalibration of the body with CellFood, but it is worth it to push on through. I started on CellFood twice, the second time worked through the tired grumpiness as my body cleaned out and adjusted into a higher energy, better feeling all over mode, then switched over to the other minerals. My son had the same experience but uses between 12 and 20 drops a day now without any problem. He is thriving on it. It HAS to BE DILUTED! It has enzymes in it, too, and can sting if you get it on you undiluted! If I have reverse osmosis water is there a mineral someone can recommend that I add to the water?
