Rotation Diet

Hi Everyone, I haven't been on here in quite awhile, so hello again. Over the past year I've gone from being just gluten/dairy free only for my infant dd whom I was nursing (now a healthy ACTIVE "almost" two year old) to recently getting diagnosed myself with leaky gut. I just had delayed food allergy testing done and now am trying to follow a rotation diet (five days in). It is a bit overwhelming and I have a few questions for anyone with experience in this arena:

Does anyone have an online link listing out all foods in specific families? I have most of them, but missing a few odd things such as baking soda and xylitol (from pure birch bark).

Should I rotate things used in small proportions for baking such as baking soda and sea salt?

I have also been grain free for about nine months (and sugar free for about six months), which I believe has helped so I am very hesitant to try back any grains even though rice and corn are listed as safe on my results. I've been baking with nut flours, which is great, but now increasingly challenging when having to rotate food families (eg eggs only allowed on every fourth day and now I cannot have flax). Plus, I'm not sure when or if I should even be use baking soda. Thankfully I was negative for candida, probably due to already being gluten, dairy, grain and sugar free for several months.

Thanks in advance.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
