Re: (Courtenay-food tips) Tips #1-3 (attempt two)

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Courtenay!!

Can you send me your gumbo recipe?

I like what you said here:

*Any recipe requiring more than three ingredients that

> you don't normally keep on hand is a waste of money,

> unless you're throwing a dinner party.

I think I may be going on a gluten free diet soon, so I am going to

make friends with corn tortillas and rice, LOL. I am not worried

about the carbs, I have been eating a lot of junky foods lately

(mainly b/c I am too tired to cook, my house is a pig-sty, and I

still feel extremely hypo even on 2.5 grains of armour). I want to

start eating healthy again, I know my diet isn't helping things...

What is a french steamer? We have a steamer to steam veggies in...is

it the same thing?

Also, I have found that it is much easier to use frozen veggies (for

me). I like frozen veggies b/c I can stock up ahead of time, they

only take 5 minutes to steam, and they won't rot in my fridge (and I

don't have to cut them or wash them, HA!). Plus, I read that they

actually contain more nutrients than fresh veggies b/c they are

frozen right away.

I looove acorn squash. I have made a really good dish using squash

and organic unsweetened apple juice. If you can't have apple juice,

you can use applesauce instead. You just thoroughly cook 1 acorn and

1 butternut squash, and puree in a food processor. Add apple juice

(or applesauce and a bit of water) and cinnamon. Stick in the

fridge. It tastes really good cold, reminds me of pumpkin pie (but

much healthier!!).

Take care,

L.

Hey ,

I kind of let my diet slide when we moved. I notice that if I eat

bread/gluten products I feel so much worse and my digestive system

is a mess~ I think rice is a no-no, though, if I'm not mistaken.

Hi ,

This is interesting, I have heard that women with reproductive

issues often have gluten intolerance. I am interested to find out if

I am allergic to gluten or maybe just wheat. Wheat is one of the top

most genetically engineered crops in the US.

I don't plan to stop eating rice b/c it is an unrefined carb. I

would like to eliminate wheat, refined carbs, and possibly dairy. I

have tried the whole foods diet which includes unlimited amounts of

lean protein, nonfat milk (includes cheese and yogurt), fruit,

vegetables, oatmeal, and one serving a day of starchy carbs (rice,

potatoes, and pasta). While on this diet i lost weight really fast

(4 pounds in one week).

I am trying to find a diet that will control my IBS (which is a real

pain in the *ss, no pun intended). I seem to be allergic to

something I am eating, but I am not sure what it is. If I cannot get

the food allergy tests I might at least try an elimination diet when

I feel up to it.

How is your spider bite?

Hi, !

I think the spider bites scarred me for life. The shoulder one

looks very healthy. We went to a beach and spent the afternoon in

the sun on Labor Day! That was the first time I've been able to

tolerate the sun in several years. The inside thigh bite is still a

little purple but no more fever, finally! Thanks for asking,

though! Have you read Broda Chapter 15 on diet? Even if I

eat oatmeal, I end up with the runs?!

Glad your spider bites are better, at least.

Maybe you really are gluten intolerant? I think I may just be

intolerant to wheat, I dunno. Different things bother me on

different days... It is kind of annoying.

On the + side I like drinking V8. It tastes pretty good!

I haven't read the BB book b/c I don't have a copy. I have the

Endometriosis Diet book though... that one is pretty good. It says

to avoid wheat and soy (and most dairy). I dunno. I need to do

something.

I just went thru some diet experimentation I'll share, for what it's

worth..

I've been low carbing for almost 2 years. I have a history of some

really ugly stomach probs, which, of course were diagnosed as

stress, along with everything else in my life! When I started low

carbing, my stomach probs decreased immediately, but it didn't

eliminate them completely.

When I saw Dr. Launius last month, he mentioned, based on my history

of tummy troubles (which includes your food being recognizable when

it goes thru you) I might be celiac (this, along with low b12

levels). He wasn't against a LC diet, but wasn't sure that was

really necessary, perhaps a gluten free diet, instead (a few things

allowed on LC have gluten...LC tortillas, salad dressings,

condiments, etc.).

He gave me the option of actually being tested...I really don't need

a celiac dx, as it's just controlled with diet, and another dx just

makes me harder to insure at this point! I tried gluten free, and

even added some carbs I haven't had in 2 years...I added a bit of

rice and corn, and to compensate for the additional carbs, lowered

my fat.

OMG, my body cannot process carbs...gluten free or not! I tried it

for 2 weeks and was miserable! I was jet propelled...I was

embarrassed to be in the room alone with myself!!! If I didn't have

hideous gas, I had gas pains that brought me to my knees! After 2

weeks, my family, who have all ragged me for 2 years about how

unhealthy a LC diet is (now keep in mind I eat more veggies in one

week now than I did in the first 40 years of my life!) have backed

down and admitted a LC way of life is the healthiest for me (if not,

they would never be able to stay in a room with me for very long!).

I think it varies from person to person...as we low-carbers say,

YMMV (your mileage may vary), but I found for me, strict low carb is

the only thing I can tolerate...and by the way, very careful gluten

free has made a big difference...those last little tummy troubles

have not been around since I went LC/GF. Maybe TMI, but I haven't

had diarrhea in over a week...I haven't been able to say that since

I was about 12!

If it is prepared chicken, then your reaction is probably to MSG which

is in most seasonings used on chicken. If it is to home made chicken,

check your seasonings for MSG. Drunk sleepy is a perfect description of

the effects of MSG. It seems that developing a reaction to MSG happens

after many exposures. Higher sensitivity may be something that happens

to hypo people. I'm sensitive to it now, but wasn't 5 years ago. An

older friend, 72, is somewhat sensitive to it and says he didn't use to

be. MSG also causes me to retain water as well as fall asleep.

On the subject of allergies/food intolerance, the effects are cumulative. That is why it is so difficult to nail them down. For instance, from testing, I know I am allergic to nuts, chocolate, strawberries, peanut butter, and fumes form cleaning supplies. All alcoholic beverages have a slight histamine effect and are always a poison to anyone. Cigarette smoke is irritating to anyone's lungs. SO, if I inhale and ingest several on these items in one day, I will likely get a reaction. If only one or two on a day I am feeling good---no problem. If I am ill, and drink a few beers or wine, I will be much worse the next day. Also, having something I am somewhat allergic to early in the day is less of a problem than having it before bedtime, such as strawberries.

I hope this is helpful to someone.

I've seen a different reaction to MSG manifested by a

couple of people I know.... One of them seemingly had

an MSG " attack " after eating Thai food. His face went

totally red, and he became overheated and had to sit

down about an hour after consuming his meal.

The other is a friend of mine, who has an MSG allergy.

If it's low levels of MSG, she just ends up feeling

ill at the stomach; if the food contains high levels

of MSG, it actually will make her tongue have a

burning sensation.

I avoid MSG because I feel as though it is a

stimulant, like many preservatives, and it seems to

exacerbate my anxiety attacks. So, no MSG for me.

I think your best bet is to find the Broda

book, used, on Amazon. I got my copy for $8, I think,

plus shipping. As a side note, I buy almost all of my

books on Amazon now, especially the medical ones,

because they just have better rates.

Regarding the chicken issue, I haven't had that

happen, but I have had a similar reaction to turkey,

last Thanksgiving. I have this far-fetched theory

that some of the animals we eat may have been fed

soy-type products. It didn't feel like a tryptophan

reaction because it came on suddenly, almost

violently, and I left my dinner guests with my husband

and family, got into bed with my clothes on, and fell

into a dead sleep for four hours.

I'm staying away from turkey, and I only buy certain

brands of meat.

I used to have these terrific reactions to certain foods. I would eat certain

things and

immediately go into what I called a " food coma " . These started about 11 years

before I was

diagnosed. How I ever made it to the day I got diagnosed, I will never

know!!!!! A large part of

my getting better involved food allergy testing. I was tested for 75 foods I

ate all the time. I

was allergic to 65 of them. I took 6 allergy shots for a year. Again, the

change was very slow.

I would say that I did not even see any change until at the end of the year, I

started to re-add

food to my diet and it didn't make me sleepy or make me itch or make my brain

fog. Amazing!

When I get the money, I would like to invest in some grass fed beef.

I am a member of HOuston Milk Club, which is the best source of raw

milk in houston. You can also get grass fed beef, and REAL free

range chickens...

I agree with you, I think that sometimes we may have reactions to

what animals have been fed. Just because a label says that certain

meats are organic...well, I don't beleive that is necessarily the

case all of the time.

I read an article on HOuston Milk Club site which talked about major

brands of organic milk (such as horizon) which may have started out

as 'good honest companies' but are now corporate. The article says

taht oftentimes they have organic cows and nonorganic cows.... the

nonorganic cows are supposed to be fore the nonorganic milk.

The article says that the organic cows are treated just as bad as

nonorganic cows, and sometimes when they become sick...they will

send the cow over to the nonorganic farm so that they can be treated

with antibiotics.

BUT, sometimes they will SWITCH cows...that is, they send a

nonorganic cow that HAS been treated with antibiotics over to the

ORGANIC farm.

I will send you all the article, which would explain things much

better than I can....

Sharon,

This is interesting, I have thought about doing this myself. Did you

go to an allergist or a gastroenterologist/? I am trying to space

things out, as I am beginning to feel like a pincushion... NOt to

mention the fact that I don't want to put myself through too much

shock...

I am not quite sure how you made it up until you were diagnosed,

either! It is a miracle that you did not go into a myxedema (sp??)

coma!!

I don't think that's far-fetched at all! I was actually wondering

the same thing about the chicken! It has the same effect on me...and

it's the same thing that happens if I eat a LC product with soy, like

a tortilla. I never eat out, only what I cook (or my mom or kids

occasionally, but they're very careful about what they feed me now)

and we always check seasonings for culprits like MSG (I make most of

my own seasoning blends now, anyway).

,

There is allergy and then there is allergy. Both doc and I thought

that a lot of allergy workups were grossly inadequate. Of course, I

use an environmental allergist in Lubbock. He is boarded in

allergy, ENT and plastics and is in-network for CIGNA. Yea!!!! I

stayed on the beginning hormone protocal for about 7n months before

I could even think about any allergy work. The allergy treatment

was a MAAJOR piece of my wellness. I would not be this well without

it.

You must remember that all of this takes time. A month of treatment

is simply not enough time for ANYTHING to change. likes to

say that the miracle is a year from now.

The first year of treatment I bought all my food at Whole Foods in

Austin or Dallas. All hormone free. All organic. Only spelt. I

went about every 3 months and had everything packed in dry ice and

brought it back to Lubbock. I was so sick then, that I would be in

bed for several days after a trip like that.

Courtenay, thanks for the tip on the BB book...I checked amazon out,

and got it for less than $7 including shipping!

Sharon,

Can you please get me this docs name? Perhaps I can see him next

time I come to see Dr. ...

I KNOW I have food allergies, as well as LOTS of other allergies.

When I was a kid I was sick all of the time and had to have my

tonsils and adenoids taken out (at 7). They did an allergy workup

and found I am allergic to pretty much everything...but mom says I

do not have food allergies. BUT, my dad and I both have severe IBS

and I think that there is something we both must have food allergies

(wheat?? dairy??).

You do realize that most commercial organic chicken is fed organic

vegetarian feed (by law)... and by vegetarian they usually mean SOY.

That is why, if you have money and access to locally raised chicken

it is important to utilize that.

I, however, do not have the money or time to even THINK about that

right now...

Call or and they can make the appt to coordinate. In

his case, you see the doc and then come back in for allergy testing

with his allergy nurses. Then come back in for the info on the

results. I do not know how they handle anyone getting injections

from out of Lubbock. I know they give injections in the office so

they can watch reactions. Once the appt is made, I would suggest

calling their office and asking what their policy is. This doctor

can be hard to get into given his current surgery schedule. But, I

know it would be possible to coordinate a visit with the two docs.

Here in Austin we also have a farmer's market and a similiar raw milk organization...

one of my friends shops there on Saturday mornings...she has to get chicken eggs that do not contain soy products...and she is part of the milk co-op for raw milk. If anyone wants more info I can ask her - just let me know..

We think about it all the time. My husband loved Lubbock when he was in school and for the 10 years he lived there. Me, I love the high desert! Jan wrote:
