One easy way to add variety when you're unable to eat many different foods is to eat a different variety of each food every few days, e.g different varieties of potato, apple, carrot, pumpkin etc. Each different variety needs different gut bacteria to digest it, so it contributes to a varied, health...

They're not even related. Pineapple is in the Bromeliad family and citrus is in the Rutaceae family.

I eat so much sweet potato and love it, but I'm not sure how much vit C it is retaining. I had just bought cauliflower to try again, but am holding off for now. I can have pineapple and that has vit C and I eat it raw, so that's good. I also use metagenics. I might get that one. I've been fine so fa...

Oh and Gabes, which Vit C do you use here in OZ? I had just started having a bit of fresh orange juice about two weeks ago as I don't think I'm getting enough vit C due to it breaking down with heat and I'm eating only cooked things and I started feeling more energetic within days. I bought the Melr...

Oh wow, how frustrating. No, they generally aren't open to these things. I haven't had a vaccination for years. I had a flu one about ten years ago and felt quite bad afterwards, so didn't do it again. Prior to that the last one would have been yellow fever in 2004 to go to Central America and befor...

Hi Tex and Gabes, Thank you so much for your responses, they have both made me feel much calmer and confident. Tex, that is good to know that symptoms would be so much worse with a mast cell disorder. Google doesn't tell you that part. :lol: :lol: I did actually read that about Bitters, but only aft...

Hi there, I have a question regarding mast cell disorders. After 12wks on the safe diet and almost two weeks of "perfect" poop, I have reacted to something that has makes me fear I've been set back six months (overreacting I am sure, but this is fear speaking). I think it may have been som...

Hi Marcia,

Thanks so much for your reply. I am going to message you with a few more questions. It's great to hear from people who've already used this.

Hi Tex,

Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, good to hear confirmation of that.

Re "cheating", all good, I know that. The first time was last night, that's all. I know and trust my body and its ability to heal and know I will be ok.

Thank you

Hi there. I have a question about Pepto Bismal. I'm in Australia and we don't have it here, so I'm not familiar with it. I've ordered some from the US, as I feel like I want to try something else to help me along. I'm in wk 8 of completely safe foods after my flare up from a virus in March (it took ...

Gosh, I have no idea then. How might one feel if mag levels aren't optimal? At the moment I'm losing faith in my intuition as I seem not to know what is going on. Everything seems worse than at initial onset and what I did last time doesn't seem to be working as well. It is really getting me down ac...

Hi Gabes, Yes, I have learnt so much about the importance of Vit D from this group, hence why I've been taking around 5000 a day and have managed to get my levels from 52 (barely "normal") to 107 in 6mths. Luckily, I love in Brisbane, so there is sun all year. As for the magnesium, I've al...

Yeah, you're in the Hunter Valley, aren't you? Lovely area. I've never been big on spirits, but I do like a good mojito and I imagine white rum is pretty safe (for later on). I only ever buy preservative free wine these days, but even that was obviously too much for me in my brief few months of remi...
