Candida diet and fructose/carbohydrate malabsorption
shavingwoes replied to Q_P's topic in Diet & holistic health
I had actually thought about this a while back as well. I've been trialling sugar/carbs in different forms in my diet and it seems like that's my issue; fructose malabsorption or some sort of a sensitivity to it. I've also read some articles that point to fructose as the culprit in a lot of health issues rather than glucose or starch; it seems as though a lot of us are poorly adapted to diets with more than a little bit of fructose. I've only skimmed quickly through some articles but here was a -

Reactions to foods vary individually, you may or may not react to it; the only way to find out is to try it for yourself. I'd recommend not binging on pizza though (hard as that may be after abstaining for 1 month), so that you know for sure whether or not it was the pizza and not just simply overeating. -

:P I speak french too, no worries. I'm betting your blender is just not capable of effectively blending up the ingredients. Greens are tough to break down and, in my experience, only a high speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec does a great job of it. -
How's your diet? Higher carb meals can help promote relaxation and good mood (not saying to go binge on pasta). When I was high fat and/or high protein, my sleep took a massive hit. Now that I've added a good amount of carbs back in my diet, I'm much more relaxed, happy, my sleep is much more restful and occurs a LOT more readily. I also remember reading in a psych class that eating a higher protein meal before a test is recommended as it helps keep you alert and stimulated. The chapter also r

One thought I always had was that it typically leads to binge eating which, as we've seen in several posts, is definitely a factor in acne.

Same exact reaction here; it's basically entirely on my jawline for me though. It's odd too because they're just flat red marks and disappear with time, provided i stop taking whatever it is that's harsh on my stomach. I get the same reaction from vitamin C in the form of Ascorbic Acid but not Calcium Ascorbate (see Ester C or BioCGel (in Canada) for these forms); the ascorbic acid in this form is buffered with calcium and is much less harsh/acidic on the stomach. I don't get the reaction wh

How much red meat do I need for proper iron levels?
shavingwoes replied to RebeccaDeWinter's topic in Diet & holistic health
Just IMO, but twice a month likely is not enough to raise and maintain iron levels. I try to eat red meat (quality meat if available) once every few days or at least once a week. Also 4oz is a fairly small serving size by most layman's standards (although food guides do use that size as a serving); if you need to go with 4oz for one reason or another, I'd try to eat red meat a minimum of once a week, if not more. Keep in mind too that red meat doesn't just mean beef. There is venison, buffalo/ -
Read up on AOR's Advanced B-Complex . If I remember correctly, they explain their dosage levels and the reasons for them.

MY FORMULA FOR GETTING CLEAR!! (for what its worth ^_^)
shavingwoes replied to kago26's topic in Diet & holistic health
Reminds me of a water filter company's slogan I read a while back; "Buy a filter, or be a filter". -
Eggs and cruciferous vegetables come to mind (ie broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc.).

I use basically the same recipe too . I got the idea from here. There's also a really interesting video on the page as well, be sure to watch it. It's definitely the best "toothpaste" I've ever used though; my teeth never really got plaque or anything on them really but now they're constantly smooth. I highly recommend trying it.

The body has an innate ability to heal itself; provided you reduce your stresses, eliminate any foods which may be causing your stress (refined carbs for instance or food allergies/intolerances) and maintain a good healthy diet/lifestyle (and possibly a supplement regimen if necessary), it shouldn't take too long. I'm hesitant to give you an exact time-frame though because it is a complex problem and everyone is different. I think the easiest and most effective thing you can do though, is to c

Food allergies, hormonal, and genetic...?
shavingwoes replied to sareliz's topic in Diet & holistic health
Exactly what happens to me when I overdo fruits. They never form to a head or anything and often are just dark red marks which on occasion are deep cysts that eventually disappear when I taper down or cut out fruit. I also get them from apples and other acidic fruits, esp. when eaten alone (no matter my fruit intake; haven't tested this in a while though).
