Pumpkin????? My wife wants to know....

[Guest guest]

I'm assuming pumpkin is too sweet, but my wife is holding out hope.

They eat it in the fall over in Russia to build up immunity for

winter. She's eaten about 3 cooking pumpkins so far, and is going to

eat one more.

She can't believe people in America buy all these cooking pumpkins and

put them on Fall Displays in their yard. (The white-ish ones, not the

orange ones). She mixes the pumpkin with 9-grain cereal or juices

it... she then mixes the left-over pulp to use in her meatballs.

Doug,

One cup of pumpkin raw has about 8 grams of carbs with 2 of those being

sugar. Cooked it would have more I would think. It seems high to me,

especially starting out.

Hello Doug.

If you click on the files and then go into the files located just to

your left upper corner on the forum page you will find the 5th file

down, a file named:

Candida Diet & Shopping Lists & All About Foods

If you go into the file and print out the Candida Shopping List Bee

has prepared for us, it will be a great help to you and your wife in

knowing what foods you can or can not eat on Bee's wonderfully healthy

program. It's all there, what you can eat on Bee's program. (What you

can not eat, is not on the list, so that makes it easy, just stick to

the list and you will do fine.)

I think Spagetti Squash is the only thing close to pumpkin you are

going to get on the list. I myself had a reaction to it, and can only

have small servings of it if I do.

Hope this helps! :-)

Thanks... I should have known. In the future, if it aint on the

list, I won't ask. I just thought that since not many people eat

pumpkin, there was a chance.

==>Doug, I haven't listed " every kind of food " on the Candida list.

Pumpkin in moderate amounts is okay.

-Hi Bee,

Is there a way to list " every kind of food " on the list or perhaps we

could look for it ourselves. I assume the criteria is 3 or 6 per cent

carbs or less. Variety would add interest and more nutrition to the

diet. I have also been avoiding pumpkin but there are so many nice

recipes for it.

regards,

Perihan

==>Hi Perihan. I am one person, so it is a matter of my time as to

whether the lists get updated.
