Re: Fibrous/advanced foods, what symptoms to watch out for

[Guest guest]

From what I have read about fiber, the insoluable fiber is difficult for people

with IBD/IBS. This is why peeling and cooking- and pureeing if necessary makes

fruits and vegetables more tolerable, and smooth nut butters easier to take than

whole nuts. I am not sure how these foods affect people with celiac or on the

autistic spectrum, but pecanbread.com has a chart for adding new foods for

anyone on the SCD diet.

You may want to start off according to the chart, or if you have always done

well with raw fruits/ veggies, then you are probably fine with them. I don't

know why the nut butters affected your acne, but they are higher in fat, and

maybe that is why. If you are not allergic, you could cut back, or try the nut

flours which are not as fatty.

They won't be helpful if you have acne - since they'll be harder to

digest, which means

that your pathogenic bacteria/yeast/fungus/mold etc. will be munching

on them in your

gut and helping to precipitate the inflammation that causes the acne.

Can you get tested for these things? Are you supplementing

for vitamin D 3?

What about hamburgers and steak and butternut squash casserole or

custard or pie?

What about cheese and veg. omelets?

I'm waiting on blood test results of vitamin D and some other tests. I was going

to wait before trying to help myself in case it affected the results, but I

couldn't stand the waiting any longer.

The only vitamin D I'm taking is in my calcium supplement (Kirkman, supposedly

starch free...), but the weather is improving so I am going to try and get some

as regularly as I can.

Been eating loads of meat and steak; even for lunch, eggs for breakfast. Cheese

seems to have a similar effect as nuts, though I haven't tried it in a long

time. Yoghurt maker should arrive this week, I could tolerate yoghurt quite well

before, but was going to try and " re-introduce " dairy after a month. I think at

the moment I need the yoghurt more.

Don't think I can afford any allergy testing at the moment. I will just avoid

cheese and nuts for now, at least until I get all my test results back.

From past experience I am always wary of standard drug treatments, especially

Accutane. However since my skin is very prone to scarring I do take topical

Dalacin-T and Differin, but they also make it difficult to judge reaction to

foods.

Thanks for the replies. I think until I get my test results I will certainly lay

off the fibrous foods. I'll take a look at the stages again as well. I think I

was being a bit too restrictive worrying about Candida, dairy and other things I

don't really understand yet.
