My anion/cation ratio was about 19 [very alkaline] when I started it, but came down to normal [12] after 30 days. They also cut my cholesterol and LFTs, ALT and AST in half in that time. Chol from 289 to 148. This is a pain in the neck. I've considered going back on that again - even with all the milk drinking - just to balance my pH and continue taking coconut oil. I'm confused. Being alkaline sucks. Sometimes I just say screw it and have spaghetti and beef for dinner - it's acid producing and will not screw up the beneficial effects of the coconut oil. I'm wonfdering how my bowel function would be if I ate only meat for a few days. Do you think I'd get constipated? Maybe I should ask a caveman. For some people over alkalinity can be a problem - like me. <!--more--> I also have had weak gastric HCL production for several years. Regards, Joe Hi Ann,

I've been eating 4 to 8 frozen bananas at night lately. I get a "sweet tooth" at night about 9 PM. It may have to do with my anabolic imbalance, but it's a little better now that I've increased magnesium to 600 mg. daily. Bananas [type O HB] are not an overly alkaline fruit - they're close to neutral, like pear[n], peach[n], cherry [HB], blueberry [hb], etc. I just ate some peanuts, which are type O avoids, so I screwed up my 5 day ER compliance, but peanuts are scd legal and acid producing. I didn't anticipate that coconut oil would make me get alkaline, so right now I'm dealing with that. <!--more--> I was eating a lot of HB carrots the last 3 days, and this was too much alkalinity for me right now with the coconut oil dosage. I'll probably do fine just by limiting foods like carrot, even if they are HB. I should focus more on other HB food like walnuts, etc. Every time I eat, 3 or 4 different diets go through my head. I ask myself : Should I eat brown rice? It's acid producing, ER neutral, SCD illegal, and Paleo illegal. Should I eat refried pinto beans? They're SCD illegal, ER neutral, Paleo illegal, but may be acid producing. It's confusing. I've got a good foods list that tells a lot of food pH values. I need to avoid the over alkaline foods, and I'm also going to avoid all ER avoids very soon, and cheat on ER very seldom, probably never. For breakfast I had sardines [HB] in tomato [N] sauce, walnuts [HB], and peanuts {A]. One really important thing for me is to make sure that I eat regular proteins, and keep up coconut oil, and no grain [I think]. I'm confused. Thanks for the input. Joe Hi Frances,
