If I didn’t have it, I would probably go nuts, lol. I do hope that you can reintroduce it at some point because they I could give you my ”ice cream” recipe – lol!

In reply to: Julia posted an update in the group Food Allergies Hello! I am new to the program. I recently had labwork done at my functional medicine practitioner. I have several food allergies and it was overwhelming to […] ViewI am glad to hear your withdrawals are subsiding a little bit. And I do hope that this new method of cooking and eating will help you!
What kind of protein shake did you buy? You should go for rice protein and/or hemp protein and/or pea protein – I never recommend WHEY to anyone… I can’t remember if Mark recommends it or not; I love how I…[Read more]-
I love these suggestions. Thank you thank you! I am going to write some of those ideas out. I haven’t had spagetti squash in a couple years!
I bought “Vega” protein shake. It’s free of all allergens and it’s plant base. The vanilla chai taste so good. It’s has all the vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. Supposed to be good for blood …[Read more]

I really love stevia and have been using it for 10 years… and my only real vice is aspartame because I chew a lot of sugar-free orbit gum… but that’s my only source of aspartame. I had a stupid oral fixation apparently. LOL!!! What is Xyilotol like for you?

I use xylitol, stevia etc. for my kids. I used to enjoy it until I became insulin resistant. It’s possible that eventually once Ive given my body time to heal, I could reintroduce stevia. My brain reacts to it just like sugar at this point.
Time will tell!-

Ya know…just looked at my protein shake and noticed it has stevia in it. I suppose because there is so much protein, it doesn’t seem to affect me. Yes, I hope I can eventually add it back in! I bet the ice cream is tasty

Eggs is a sad thing to be allergic to but there are ways around it. Fish is delicious and can be eaten at any time of the day and is also a super food!
You just need to get creative. If you want some ideas, let me know! …[Read more]-
Hello GiGi,
Thanks for replying. So far so good. I’m learning how to cook in a way that supports my body with its sensitivities. Thankfully, my family has enjoyed the recipies in the BSS book. Iits been a week now and my craving/withdrawal seem to be lessening.
I would love some ideas! Please send them my way. I’m having a hard…[Read more]-

Food Allergies 11 months, 2 weeks agoDefinitely have severe food allergies. I can hardly eat anything. I do not eat anything except meat/fish and vegetables… and even that still kills me but I have to eat something or else I will die from starvation. Ugh.

Wow! Are you able to handle stevia and other natural sweeteners?
-
I am super sensitive to any kind of sugar in any form. Even stevia : (.

Gastrointestinal Disorders 11 months, 2 weeks agoI almost dies from another stomach attack again last night. Food just does not agree with me at all. I hadn’t had one of these attacks since January or February though which is nice, but STILL I would rather NEVER have them. Although I guess if I MUST have them, I would rather them be spaced out 6 months at a time.

Hello Gigi.. do you have other digestion problems also? I had many digestive problems, and also had episodes of terrible stomach pain like you described. Finally discovered that I had gall stones.. what I least expected. Just had my GB taken out last week, and so far no digestive problems.
-
Hi Kathy had my GB out about 10yrs ago. Just started taking bile salts for better digestion. I’m not processing my food well. The way I understand it when you lose your GB the bile salts are there but not functioning as though they were processing through your GB. So that’s why the supps. of bile salts to better the process of digestion. It…[Read more]
