Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi gail, I have introduced foods slowly since ihave been on this diet for 2 years. I can have brown rice products without any problems. I also had ice cream one day but my tongue was a bit more whitish so i didnt go for that again. I also have strawberries without any problems. So slowly i introduce different things one at a time to see what the reaction is. Yes i finished chemo 2 weeks ago and will begin radiation soon. I feel better than i have in a long time. My scans and blood work are all good, so things are lookin up for me. I will stay in touch and thanks for the advice with the foods. sue __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well, I'll just throw something in here to make matters worse :-) I've always been told and always beleived that what foods we eat aren't just a matter of symptoms that we notice. If we've been having ongoing chronic problems and one day we stop reacting to a certain food, it doesn't mean that food is now 'free'. It takes longer to heal the gut than that. If a food doesn't cause bloating or indigiestion something ntoticeable it still might cause irritiation that you're not aware of, or still feed candida, it could still affect your hormone levels (which are not immediately noticeable), or blood sugar levels etc. etc. All these posiibilties make it hard to reach that last part of healing. I've heard you need stick to it for at least half a year even after you think you're no longer reacting. Elyse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 oops, was afraid of that :-) Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Some people might not be reading this thread, how about reposting under a new subject line to get some other opinions on wether to continue avoiding certain foods if you can't tell wether you're reacting?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 In this country, we have a product which is Tofu ice cream. It has no animal fats in it at all, only vegetable protein and fats. I've had some one day while cheating and didn't have a reaction to it at all. You may find it in a health shop, or perhaps in a Kosher shop as it is very popular with Jews (those who are strict in the dietary sense cannot eat meat and dairy in the same meal). Keen Re: My Pizza - if you can eat some carbs Yeah, I can't eat the ice cream either. I tried and I just will have to stay away from it forever I think. One of these days I'm going to try to make a fake ice-cream, maybe out of homemade yogurt - if I ever figure out how to make homemade yogurt LOL. It's probably easy to make, but I've never done it. Guess I'll have to start researching how. Glad things are looking good for you. Gail > > Hi gail, > > I have introduced foods slowly since ihave been on > this diet for 2 years.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hi Keen, doesn't it have a sweetener like rice syrup or something?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Keen, how does this tofu ice cream taste? sue __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yes, it has fructose. Not ideal, but a much better cheat than real ice cream.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Better than normal ice cream. I thought it would be horrible, but even before the candida I preferred it to normal ice cream as it isn't heavy or too rich. Beware the sugars in it though.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Where did you purchase your machine? That sounds like something I can do........... Terry ________________________________ From: candidiasis [mailto:candidiasis ] On Behalf Of eventors Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 4:38 PM candidiasis Subject: Re: My Pizza - if you can eat some carbs I've been making homemade yogurt for the past year -- every 2 weeks. The machine that I have is foolproof (simple directions)Yogourmet Multi Yogurt Maker($48). The key is to let it " cook " 24 hours to maximize digestability. It makes half gallon at a time and I eat it twice a day mixed with whey, inulin & coconut oil and frozen papaya or mango. You can use 3 to 4 tablespoons of plain yogurt as a " starter " . It's a very easy habit to get into -- the container just sits next to a plug for 24hours. --Jeff > > > > Hi gail, > > > > I have introduced foods slowly since ihave been on > > this diet for 2 years.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes, it is made from soya. But it is something I have so seldom that I don't consider it to be a health problem. Soya is not good if taken too often, but I don't consider it so bad that I avoid it entirely. Keen Re: My Pizza - if you can eat some carbs All the Tofu I've ever seen is made from soybeans. I don't want to be eating anything made from soy. I've never had a problem with any dairy products but I believe it's the sugars in them that effect me now.
