Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 By seed do you mean even sunflower, pumpkin also? Aren't nuts in general " safer " ? Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help If it's a grain or a seed, it's a high-carbohydrate source the yeast can use in practically exactly the same manner as ground flour or starch products, or potatoes. That includes all of the grains you just mentioned and the exotic ones as well. Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These foods usually aren't a main course, and it's the AMOUNT of easy carbs in ounces that is the real concern. But sure, they're plants and they do contain some carbs. I wouldn't worry much about nuts and certain seeds. Also, some nuts and seeds contain a higher oil content and less carbohyrdates in the form of starches than others do.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi Duncan, I was really interested in this particular subject. I know that battling candida is very different from the carb issue when you are trying to lose weight, but I thought that the Glycemic Index was a pretty good indicator of how the body processes different food items into glucose. i.e.. The slower the rate the " better " the carb. If I am getting what you are saying correctly, the candida does not require the bodies rate of conversion an issue, it has something to do with the actual chemical components of the food, wheat is wheat is wheat? Thanks for all of your help. Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help By seed do you mean even sunflower, pumpkin also? Aren't nuts in general " safer " ?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Excellent question . I have been struggling with this issue of not grains, i.e. millet, brown rice…because I thought that because they were complex. I am looking into food combing / natural hygiene. I am curious to hear what Duncan says. RE: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help * Hi Duncan, I was really interested in this particular subject.

I have been struggling with this issue of not grains, i.e. millet, brown rice.because I thought that because they were complex. I am looking into food combing / natural hygiene. I am curious to hear what Duncan says. I can tell you that the natural hygiene is one of the best life-style or eating guidelines you can find anywhere. It has worked without fail for over 100 years. All the fashion fad diets are but subsets of this system. You still need to decide if you are going to eat starch and sugar rich foods (grains, potatoes, fruit). They will do less damage when correctly combined, but if you have candidiasis, you will need to eliminate them until you are back to normal levels. Food combining is the lifestyle that is sure to maintain your correct weight without struggle. RE: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help * Hi Duncan, I was really interested in this particular subject.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Thanks ! Can you recommend any books or websites? I saw some website that you can download their lists of combinations for a minimal fee. Know anything about these? I am trying to get a book called Dr Bral’ys Food Allergy and Nutrition Revolution. It was listed as a source in the Alternative Medicine Book (my other bible). So you think even brown rice is a no no at this point?

The yeasts and candida ferment brown rice, whole wheat, and whole oats for example, almost as fast as they do flour, starch and sugars, because they are efficient fermenters.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi > Thanks ! Can you recommend any books or websites? I think that Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond is a great little book that makes it totally easy to get into the program. It includes your first 28 days with recipes, so by the time the month is over you are an old pro at it. Of course this will work only of you are not also onthe candida program. > I saw some website that you can download their lists > of combinations for a minimal fee. You can pick up this book for next to nothing in any used book store ... I preferred the book to a website reference. We did this lifestyle switch as the whole family about 15 years ago, and never looked back. > Know anything about these? I would recommend the book. It is inexpensive, and always on your shelf. > I am trying to get a book called Dr Bral'ys Food > Allergy and Nutrition Revolution.

So if you are on a candida diet, it should be off limits to you. We only had to be on the NO carbs for about a month. Brown rice was one of the first carbs we introduced afterwards, along with buckwheat and spelt. Ultimately I decided to learn dowsing. Now I check things with my pendulum. I can tell you right away if any one item is going to build me up or tear me down. ... That has proved to me the simplest and yet most powerful tool: I can check a single ingredient, and I can check the whole meal. You'd have fun watching me shop for groceries.
