Adding New Foods To Our Diets

Sometimes I think our bodies are telling us to back off on some of these new foods and regular foods that we are eating. My doctor told me once, years ago, that the same food should only be eaten once or twice a week, otherwise we can get sick or yucky feeling from them. A lot of times when a person eats to much sugar/sweets we feel yucky for awile. I think that can be with any other food also. Maybe our bodies like rice, but not everyday for a week or two. Same with corn, I know if I eat it for more than one day, I get a yucky feeling. I know a lot of us are on really restricted diets, so maybe this would not work for you, but I am a firm believer that each food we eat should be rotated every 3-5 days. Same with apples, if I eat one, I am fine, but if I eat them every day, I get a yucky feeling for awhile. I think sometimes we tend to overdo it sometimes. I went on vacation last month, I made a whole bunch of rice flour baked goodies. One item probably would have been fine, but I ate cookies, brownies, and bread. I was so bloated up for about a week or so after. I think we need to give our bodies a break from some things, by rotating our foods better. Just some thoughts I had while reading some of the different messages on the board this morning.

I don't have a problem eating rice or eggs frequently myself. I was told by the doctor I saw for allergy testing that when you get the flu you need to be careful of what you eat because you could develop an allergy to it. I thought that was interesting.

That is the theory behind the rotation diet. If you find yourself very sensitive, you might try it. But think: in prehistoric times people ate what was available when it was available. Although there might have been many different foods to eat at different seasons of the year, the reality probably was that when something was available, they ate as much as they could while it lasted.

I always feel yucky when I eat too many sweet carbs, which would be a binge on homemade cookies, brownies, and cake-type things. As long as I eat wholegrain homemade bread (brown rice/buckwheat, etc) and other whole foods, I don't binge and I'm ok.

Anything that makes you feel yucky should probably be avoided.

I'm trying to rotate my foods too, but it is hard since most food comes in large packages. Like parsley, chard, watermelons, etc. And no one helps me eat these things so it is left up to me. :(

I found out that I feel bad if I eat too many processed grains at a time too. I will get a yeast infection very quickly too.

I had to stop baking pb cookies because I couldn't stop eating them. Freezing them didn't help either. They were calling my name. :lol:

Same for the gluten free breads. I couldn't stay out of them. <_<

Marcia, I hear you. We've been buying enjoy life cookies and they don't last long. A serving is two and they are small. My hubby and I always eat 6 apiece and the kids eat 3 or 4. :ph34r:

What helps me is to make the cookie dough and freeze the individual cookies unbaked. When I want a cookie, I take it out of the freezer, pop in into the toaster oven, and voila! One homemade cookie.

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
