Rotation Diet


Skittles

Recommended Posts

I bought a book teaching me about rotation diets but I have a question that I didn't see in the book. So I know you eat different foods on day 1,2,3,and 4 and usually it's only a 4 day thing. So on day 5 do you just go back to day 1 or so u start a new 4 day food cycle? I'm thinking you just go back to day one again but I just want to be sure because the reason I even have to do this is because I was eating too much of the same foods every day (being on a limited diet)... But if you are goi g back to the same foods every 5th day, for say, a year, that won't effect you badly?

Day 5, go back to Day 1.  If you find the four day rotational isn't doing the trick, then do a seven day rotational.  Do not eat the foods that you know are giving you the most problems.  For example, I can't eat eggs, milk, garlic, mushrooms, or almonds.  Things that I'm that only slightly bother me, like celery, rice or tomatoes, I put on the rotational diet.  

 

Here's a nice tip:  Start you "day" in the evening.  That way you can prepare your evening meal, and save some for lunch the next day.  It works well for the working folks.  Be sure to list all your foods and divide them up the way you normally like to eat them (i.e. beef, potatoes, carrots, apple, lettuce or fish, rice, pineapple and zucchini).  Each day you should have more than a dozen foods to eat.  This is your chance to try lots of veggies that you normally wouldn't have tried or a new fish or even buffalo.   It does limit you on processed foods, but you won't be on the rotation forever.  

 

This diet helped me "calm down the fire" and prevented (I hoped) new allergies/intolerances.  

 

By the way, I'd cook a turkey breast, divide it up into individual servings, freeze them and then pull out and defrost.  The same for burger patties, etc.  No food goes to waste!  

 

I used lots of frozen veggies too and to this day, I still eat  veggies at breakfast!  I also learned to eat yummy foods like taro and tried every single veggie in the produce section of American and Ethnic markets.  

 

Watch out for food families.  For example, no garlic for me and that means no onions or leeks.  :(

 

My rotational list was taped on the kitchen cupboard, put in my wallet (for shopping) and kept on my office wall.  

 

I don't know if this rotational diet has any scientific evidence showing that it worked (I did it based on  my medical doctor's advice) but mentally, it sure helped!  

 

I was never hungry and I got well and now eat lots of foods that don't bother me.  I did learn that everything in moderation and not to eat the same foods day-in and day-out. 

 

Good Luck! :)

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-

      Thank you! I might give it a try.

      You still may have NCGS. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. You would do well to consider trialing the gluten free diet to see if your symptoms improve.
