Hi,
I'm new to the forum here. I've just ordered Heather's book and I've read the site as thoroughly as I can. I would be interested to know how I can eat on this diet and still remain a Vegetarian/ Vegan and lose weight. I attempted to eat as a Raw Vegan and...as you can all imagine, my tummy wasn't at all happy with me. I ate fruit shakes for breakfast with almond milk, and I fared fine, but the salads, avocado, olives, dehyrdrated bread for lunches and dinners completely did me in. I then found myself binging on bread that I would get at restaurants...and lo and behold I find on this site that eating bread is just what the doctor ordered for my IBS/IBD condition. My concern is that if I overdo it with the white bread, that my Candida will come back. White Flour, fermented foods, sugar along with high fat cause Candida to flourish, doesn't it?
Everything I've read and studied also has shown me that red meat, chicken and fish are no longer safe for us to eat because of Mad Cow's disease, the tumors that are found on the chickens and that are filled with hormones and antibiotics....and now I've heard the fish...aren't safe to eat except for once a week or once a month...with the mercury, PCB and the ammonia that they swim in. So I can't...good people, in good faith go back to eating red meat, chicken and fish. I have been eating egg whites...but would love to eventually give up eggs as well. Cheese and milk..I have an allergy to - it's not the lactose that I react to but the whey and the Casiene that causes the cold like symptoms.
So if anyone out there is a Vegan or Vegetarian who also has IBS...please let me know what is safe to eat.
Thanks so much.
Gratefully and indebtably yours,
Sheryl
