Re: alkalizing vs. acidifying foods

[Guest guest]

is it just me? or does this list include most foods eaten by humans?

" what is left? " is right!!!

and why can't we eat most of these because of rosacea??

another question off the topic of food..

i thought i read previously about the allergy medicine claritin being used to

control flushing. has anybody used it? what are the results?

thanks! syd

Congradulations, I believe you have listed every food known to humanity!

And hey, don't " dis " the chard!

,

I didn't understand your post with the alk/acid list.

Are you saying that people with rosacea symptoms

shouldn't eat either acidifying or alkalizing foods?

Wouldn't that depend on their particular constitution?

I take aciphex I have been on this a year now I do not know what I would

have done without it. it is an acid pump inhibitor and it helps. I was having

horrible stomach distress about a year ago and they did every test and I

found out I had acid stomach and acid reflex. I did not eat anything for a

week and i was still sick i was scared to eat the thought of drinking vinegar

is repulsing to me i will still take my acid pills when i need them and i

do not think that choking on a piece of food has anything to do with

allergies i do think they can cause stomach upset. however i would not chance

choking on food with that natural crap vinegar you could choke to death.

Suzi,

I ment the list to illustrate two groups, so we know which is which (e.g.

lemon is alkalizing). But many of those listed items are excluded from the

allowed food for rasacea sufferes (eggplant, fresh/raw sprouts).

I have further questions.

One of alkalizing foods is green beens. We are not supposed to eat broad

leaf beans due to rosacea. What are they? Can we eat fresh (not dried)

green beans.

I resumed taking vinegar/honey/water after a long break and am getting quite

a bit of pain. Symptom of what ?

The list suggests that rice cakes are acidifying food: gluten free rice

cereal is essentially the same as rice cakes. Is it? I craved sugar and

capitalized on it once -coincidence ot not, I was red.

Like a few others, I ordered Zinc O through a pharmacy and it has a lot of

warnings, one of them if it gets on your skin, 'contact a physician'. In

what proportion do you mix it and, as another post asked, with what - water

(I remember somebody said that) or jojba oil?

How do you manage to work and take enzymes 45 min prior to meals,

vinegar/honey 15 min prior toa meal, etc etc.

What do you do at a meeting in a hot room with a projector, lap tops, etc,

generating deadly heat?

I have not used aloe vera for 2 weeks and have a feeling that redness is

brighter.

Thanks to all

Stomach cancer can result from GERD (acid reflux). In

addition,stomach cancer is linked to eating spoiled food (not so

prevalent with refrigeration these days), foods with

nitrates/nitrites, alcohol abuse and h. pylori. It's smart to

address your GI problems with the acid pump inhibitor.

During periods of stress, my stomach hurts, and I have had undigested

food come back to my throat. (Sorry to be graphic.) It is very

important to take care of this problem because it could turn into

something dangerous.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better now.

Take care,

Matija

if i dont flare after eating, does that mean the food is safe to eat, or

should i avoid certain foods anyway as it aggrevates without me knowing?

cant i just eat what i want and only cut out the food that seems to make me

flush?

thanks

The easiest thing to do is keep the food/symptom

diary.

I suggest rating your symptoms on a scale of 1-10 or

1-5... redness, bumps, etc. Make any notations about

your mood, or changes in it as well.

The reason the diary helps is because it will help you

see symptoms that are extended over a period of time.

For example, you may flush within 30 minutes to an

hour of eating something...then not break out until

much later 24-48 hours, even. Looking for these

patterns can really help.

In the past I've posted lists of foods that people are

commonly allergic or sensitive to... I'll dig out the

post and post just the list... and then there are

also basic things like wheat, corn, and dairy, which

are common sensitivies.

Ask yourself these kinds of questions -- What do I eat

a lot of? Is there something I eat at every meal? Is

there something I eat every day? (If your symptoms

aren't easing up, these might give you a good clue...)

What kinds of foods do I crave, and when?

To make this work, you'll need to know what's in your

food (for example Kraft's Ranch dressing has something

like 35 ingredients), so eating simply will help

during the discovery process.
