Dear labd and all ~ what works well for most or many people may be exactly

the wrong thing for some others. I have Fibromyalgia (chronic pain), Irritable

Syndrome with Severe Gastritis and Ulcerative Colitis, and Chronic Fatigue.

Because of the IBS, I am unable to eat anything that has a lot of fiber in

it. I tried, and got sicker than anyone wants details about. Then I tried

"Heather's IBS Diet" (based on soluble fiber), and I did better, but I wasn't

eating very much. It was very hard for this aging hippy, used to make her own

granola, raised her daughter on whole wheat and veggies, to learn that my IBS

flares were less likely to occur if I ate white bread (or highly processed whole

wheat), rice or corn cereals, saltines, etc. Needless to say, my weight

plummeted. Some things I thought I couldn't tolerate, I have been able to add

back, like yoghurt, which was a mainstay of my diet. If I eat cheese or any milk

product at night, though, I have to take lactaid, or I have a bad reaction.

 

I am only sharing this because there has been so much pushing of an all

natural, whole foods, raw foods diet lately, and I am the odd duck in ten that

this was the absolute worst thing I ever tried. So, people need to work with

their doctors or alternative health practitioners; depending on their

illness(es), they need to slow and careful about making major diet changes, and, if

you're as desperately ill as I am, introducing any new foods, treatments, etc.,

is best done one at a time, so that if you have a reaction, you know where

it came from.

 

So, I am not saying these types of diets that are being proposed are bad ...

for some people, they are the road back to being healthier. In my case, they

didn't work, and I am only sharing my experience. Blessings all ~ Linda

Dear Linda,

 

Great point. My post was specifically in response to the discussion

about cancer and its treatment. Assuming that you can eat veggies and

fruits, research seems to favor those in cancer treatment. I wasn't

generally pushing healthy foods or raw foods (which I don't think is

all that great myself). I wasn't pushing vegetarianism either (after

all someone has to show those bovines who's in charge here on Earth -

now I'm kidding of course so please all don't attack me).

 

Wish you the best on your recovery from you condition. It's great

you have found the diet that works for you.
