It's a non-gluten grain (technically a seed, I believe) and I feel it's a good addition to the list above. Very easy to digest. It is a good source of iron, calcium and fiber, and much higher in protein than cereal grains. I have found puffed amaranth in organic markets, and you can make a great porridge out of that (1 cup water, 3 cups puffed amaranth, stir continually, add 1-2 tbsp butter and stevia to sweeten). A spot of cream just before serving is very good in there too. Tastes a lot like cream of wheat, with a slightly nutty flavor underneath.

I've noticed that some members talk about the " beginner's diet " but I have not defined any stages of diet - maybe I should. It might be helpful to know when you can start adding certain foods to your diet. After you have achieved the 4 steps of my candida program: Step 1) Eliminate foods that feed candida. Step 2) Build up the immune system. Step 3) Kill off candida overgrowth. Step 4) Plant good bacteria in the digestive tract you can try to add some foods eliminated on the initial diet when you are no longer experiencing die-off symptoms, and your digestion has normalized, starting with the higher carb vegetables and non-gluten grains, buckwheat, brown rice, quinoa, millet (properly soaked of course) and one fruit that is lower in sugar like apples or applesauce per day. Add only one at a time, and watch your symptoms carefully. I will work on adding this information to my main article. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 If that's the beginning stage, what do the more advanced stages consist of? And when do you move to more advanced foods? > ----- > Have you read through the files that you were sent when you joined the group?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Bee, just another idea that's been on mind. What do you think of having some separate folders in the files for each stage? When someone is starting out there's a lot o confusion with all that wealth of information :-) That way if there's one place for only the immediate things of what to do at that time it reduces where to look.

Amaranth is a great addition to the list of non-gluten grains. Thanks for thinking of it, and for the reference. Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch. I probably won't get to it until I get a couple weeks after my visit to my parents in Wisconsin, which is from June 17th - 25th. Remind me again in July.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Elyse, I would love your help. You could put together what you can, send it to me at beewilder@... and I'll make any adjustments necessary and post it. What do you think? Hugs, Bee > > That would be fantastic Bee!
