Carrie,
BTW, here's the link for the initial treatment post..

And if anyone's interested -
all of the supplements I take are as follows:
The Omega 3, as described in above post,
Multi Vit - currently taking USANA Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral supplements - the absorbancy rate is 93%, which is good, but the price is a little outlandish at $50+ a month and you have to take 3 of each a day with meals. difficult to remember, to say the least.
Now, at the natural food mart today, I looked into a cheaper alternative - MegaFood brand Women's One Daily DailyFoods, Vitamin, Mineral and Herbal Formula. Foodstate guarantees 100% absorbancy which I find a little difficult to believe, but whatever.. it has no allergens in it and was about half the price of the other, so I'm going to try it.
I take one Thorne Research "Ferrasorb" every day. I believe you're supposed to take 2 but I only take one. It's Folate, Vitamin B12, and Iron (25mg).
And lastly, only for the duration of the Liver Detox program, I'm taking Thorne Research "Perma-clear". As described in my initial post about my treatment, it's L-Glutamine, N-Acetylglucosamine, Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactrobacillus sporogenes, Quercetin Chalcone, and Ginger extract (root). It's basically a probiotic, and natural (herbal - ginger) anti-inflammatory, to keep down my inflammation and ward off infection.
I also am still taking the rice protein supplement, once a day for the next 4 days. I think I will continue this drink supplement indefinitely, as it's helping me put on some bulk, and absorb, I think.
Anyway, if you have questions about other specifics, lemme know :)
Christine

Hate to break this to ya, Christine, but spelt is gluten containing, and a no-no for the gluten sensitive.
Main basic grains to avoid start with these letters -- B R O W S = barley, rye, oats, wheat, and spelt. Sometimes you'll only see it as BROW, but think it's important to add the "S."
Another thing to look out for is lots of different cultures make things outa these grains in different ways, so at the health food and import stores, we sometimes think things aren't made of one of them, like for instance, there's this stuff from maybe some South American country..forget the exact name of the product, but ya look at the fine print, and it's actually made from durum which is wheat -- just another form of durum.
Also, what KINDA bean are those "tortilla"-like cracker things made of? Don't think those are made of soy beans, so wondered what they were? Kinda surprised that this elmination process allows beans this early on..hmm, that's interesting. Will be eagerly awaiting more good reports. Sounds as if you're headed in the right direction, and you were soooo brave being around all those things and avoiding them, particularly with all the emotional connection we have with food and family during holiday get-togethers.
Yours, Luce

Luce,
Yes, sorry - I'm now aware of Spelt. I'd read that long ago in my rotary diet book but it's confusing when you read of many grains at the same time. Before eating any new item, I do a double check and when I did I realized that Spelt contained its own gluten and therefore I couldn't eat 'em. So.. after angrily ripping apart the contents of the bag, then throwing it away, I proceeded to have a chicken sammich with my gluten-free bagels instead.
The bean crackers are made with a regular bean-bean. I'll look again at home for specifics but yes, beans are allowed on this diet, but not during week 2, which was the no meat week.
Anyway, last day of hte diet was yesterday, so today I'm going to add beef as my first item BACK on my diet! :)
