Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Mike, The diets do seem to vary a bit depending on who you are reading or being treated by. For some reason my naturopath has told me no quinoa but I can have rice, barley and millet. I can also have squash. How about trying some brown rice?

Hi, I've been reading these posts for a few weeks and gotten the 'no carbs' message. I mostly eat fish, chicken, eggs and green veggies, but I also eat quinoa and squash. I'm wondering if the last two are considered carbs? I've tried cutting them out to see the effect and I feel like a zombie, which makes me thing they're carbs. In which case, I'm not sure how people cut out all the carbs from their diet and still go about their daily routine. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i'm not sure if barley is a carb...but i know it's on the gluten free list with rye wheat and maybe oats... ...http://www.csaceliacs.org/gluten_grains.php http://www.vegsoc.org/info/gluten.html i don't think it's a good idea to cut out all the carbs from a diet...but that's just my opinion from a wild guess that you need a balance...i'm guessing a few good carbs would be ok and keep you energized try googling good carbs or something. best! shefy Patti Cassalia <pcassalia@...> wrote: Mike, The diets do seem to vary a bit depending on who you are reading or being treated by.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 eat them and enjoy. dc_wired <dc_wired@...> wrote: Hi Duncan and everyone else, I've been reading the post for the last few weeks and have gotten the 'no carb' message, loud and clear. What I'm wondering is if my two biggest staples right now are carbs, or not? Quiona and spaghetti squash. I eat lots of veggies, chicken and fish too, but find myself feeling like I'm going to rip into a box of twinkes everytime I don't mix in my quinoa and/or s.squash. So, am I feeding the fire when I eat these? If so, and I should cut them out, what can I do to combat the crazed feeling I get when I don't have them (quinoa and squash)?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 What is the reasoning for carbs being bad for people with MCS? I would think these people have exhausted adrenals in which case carbs would be stressful on them. I am not advocating no carb, but I would still think you wouldn't want to eat them in excess. I, too, feel that I have some need for carbs in my diet. I felt drained eating meat and veggies only. Once you eliminate food sensitivities and addictions, I really think you can listen to your body. That reminds me that I am going to ask my ND what she thinks about metabolic typing the next time I am in. -Olif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 " carbs are good for people with mcs " Okay, but I am wondering WHY. For example, what do the carbs DO in the body that benefit people with MCS? Just to state that they are good doesn't help anyone understand why they are good.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have had post antibiotic syndrome(PAS) several times in my life and always apparantly got over it by eating low carb foods, yogurt, lots of raw garlic, and probiotics. Now I have it(PAS) again but this time I had to go on a no carb diet and no yogurt, but plenty of raw garlic and probiotics. I think the difference in this time and the others is that I took different antibiotics. Within a week of taking some type of mycyn antibiotic I began to have frequent diarrhea attacks mixed with constipation. A short time later I took penicillin and then I began having nothing but multiple diarrhea attacks daily for about 4 more months. Large amounts of probiotics and raw garlic did not work. I went to a gastroenterologist and that was a waste of time and money. I tried several herbal strategies and nothing worked until I took goldenseal(worked the first day but had to take for one month). Once I stopped the diarrhea my problems with carbs became apparant. The reason I did not use goldenseal earlier is because I believe it harms beneficial flora(personal experience) and I had read(1980's) it harms beneficial flora, but I also knew it was a traditional herbal treatment for intestinal infections. The goldenseal may have complicated my flora problem but it also may have saved my life. If I now eat even a small amount of carbs I feel horrible and become acutely ill.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 When it comes to carbs it's not so much about quantity but quality. For instance you can eat 1 tsp of sugar and get the same amount of carbs as in one cup of broccoli. However broccoli has many nutrients that help boost your immune system and fight candida, has fiber that feeds probiotics, etc. that sugar does not have. I have a list of foods that are good for a candida diet here: http://www.naturallythriving.com/basics/cfd.php This list is conservative and is more about quality than quantity.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks Debby! I really appreciate your help! I am pretty much following that diet, except that I have been juicing carrots and eating butternut squash, which I will remove now. I am eating mainly veggies with a meat and eggs as well. So there is no carb limit? Just eat the low carb veggies and don't worry about it??
