    Vegetable ideas/recipes

    What foods you will be able to digest easily is a very individual thing..... SCD is a good staring point (but keep in mind it was created long ago as a treatment for celiac disease before gluten was discovered). It works fairly well for a lot of people but is inflexible and not effective for...

    Food Help

    Hmmmm, my grumpiness is a bit obvious from my previous post..... I'll try again, I think the SVD diet recommended by the link to nutritionfacts.org posted by cmack is an excellent dietary starting point. I think it is pretty important to look at the actual diet used to maintain remission...

    Food Help

    "I agree that the 'semi-vegetarian diet' appears to be beneficial but i would suggest that this has nothing to do with it's 'vegetarianism' and is wholly to do with it's 'paleoism'. In fact the whole study does NOTHING BUT RECOMMEND a paleo/real food diet (with or without meat)...

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    It's a good starting point.... Some people will do better with less and some with more. it's only one part of a diet and getting the 'right' amount of carbs without getting anything else 'right' probably wont help much. Like everything it is a 'u'-shaped curve, too much is harmful, too little...

    Diarrhea after 8 month SCD

    The obvious question is.... Is he reintroducing the same (or similar) food and causing the same problem? If he is having the same problem with reintroducing the same food then don't eat that food. A bit more info would help,

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    yeah, maybe. nice theory, i'll put it up there with the theory that it was fat from hunting, and the theory that it was fire releasing more energy from our foods, or that it was times of scarcity that forced innovation and adaptation I'm guessing that it wasn't just carbs, and it wasn't just...

    Paleo Diet Success?

    It’s best to take it easy, transitioning slowly rather than sudden changes. Diet is very individual, The first thing would be to think about what paleo food is, and then of the paleo foods what are appropriate for you. (raw veg is very paleo but it might not be what you should eat). I’ve seen...

    Desperate to gain weight!

    Hi Archa004, First up, It's not about how much you eat so ignore all the people telling you to eat protein powders and high calorie potions. all that processed shit won't help. Eating more won't work if what you are eating is contributing to your illness.... It can be a long journey finding...

    Does a vegan diet help anyone

    'Vegan' is such a broad term, There are many vegan staples that many people benefit from avoiding. There are some truly awful foods that are vegan, and i can't see them being good for anybody's health [1], but many foods that are vegan are beneficial. I recommend reading Paul Jaminet’s blogs on...

    Paleolithic Ketogenic diet crohn's remission N=1

More study is needed One very basic fact is that cutting carbs and fibre will lead to a...

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    I'm struggling to find anything other than the theory that excess glutamine promotes hepatic encephalopathy in people with liver disease, which is serious, but still just a theory. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the blood and is continuously circulating so we are obviously able to...

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    I think we have been here before.... Yes, getting it from food is best. I'm open to looking at the counter arguments but there is very little out there (and i'm not referring to paleo websites) other than liver and mania issues. I look forward to the 'collection' of counter arguments as i...

    Not something I have thought about too much. Saw the review, but there is science to say it helps with leaky gut and digestive issues. Bound to be many threads on the forum, haps on the interweb
