New to group, sort of….
Hello all! I joined this group last August and loved it but then got
brainwashed by my cousin and did slim fast for a long time. I’m
finally coming back to my meat eating senses! 
And no I did not
lose any weight on slim fast. A little about me: 23 and about 45
pounds overweight, candida sufferer (moderate case caused by a high
carb diet through my teens [I was an Ornish follower]), tendency
toward depression and I have frequent digestive problems. I was
going to ask about burning in the stomach after eating a heavy
protein meal…but from reading from the archives I’ve found that
that sensation is only my body digesting properly. Hopefully that is
the case. I’ve found, since reducing carbs again, that I can eat
much much more that I could when I was eating carbs and protein
together. I am taking Yeast Fighters for the candida and
supplementing with Apple Cider Vinegar drinks. I also,
unfortunately, am on birth control at the moment which I know is
probably contributing to candida but until i can afford a fertility
monitor that’s my only option. Oh yeah, I should mention I’m
married! My husband is an O too, which makes things very easy,
although my diet is a little stricker because of the candida. I’m
going to invest in Cook Right very soon ( I paid about 5 dollars in
late fees last time I checked it out). But in the meantime does
anyone have any good crock pot recipes? We have a nice big one that
I’ve never used! Also, how would I determine if I am a secretor or
nonsecretor? Is this in another book?
Thanks and its good to be back!

TRY DOING MORE OF A POACH EGG/FRIED. COOK EGG IN SMALL ABOUT OF WATER
INSTEAD OF THE OIL. SEE IF THAT HELPS. I DON’T USUALLY COOK WITH TOO MUCH
OIL AT ALL.
GOOD LUCK,

Courtney,
Do you get the same burning sensation, either hungry or indigestion with
any protein, or is it when you have eggs with oil? You questioned whether to
have bread with it. You might try a half slice or whole slice of bread with
hard boiled eggs.
You might need to do like some of the members and have either left over
meat and vegetables for breakfast and schedule a hard boiled egg and say
carrots or small salad for break, or to nibble on when you need to. Also,
with the hypoglycemia, you may need to plan like 5 small meals and have your
raw veggies through until evening with cooked ones at night. Do proteins
help you hold off the headache better than crabs?
Make sure you fix enough for the next day at night, when you can. Then
you only have to worry about supper and the next day the next night. If you
can fix for several days at a time, and put it in separate containers,
freezing what you can’t eat right away, that would give you something to
pull out when you are in a hurry. Let us know how you are doing. I know
those things they have ready for a quick breakfast are so handy and
tempting, but it seems they won’t help your hypoglycemia either. I eat my
noon meal at Senior Citizens, and I have to be careful to take my
substitutes for the things I can’t eat or tell them not to put certain
things on my plate. If it is on there, I can be good much of the time,
remembering the pain of arthritis is the result of me getting off this way
of eating, but the temptation becomes so great that I can think to myself
one bite won’t hurt, and then find myself enjoying like a whole roll or a
big biscuit. That idea of a sliver of each is one I’ve used to keep from not
having anything at baby and wedding showers. I just don’t like the funky
feeling, like my brain is mushy feeling I get from it.

I’m still trying to discover what this burning is in my tummy after I eat
only protein. For example, this morning I had two fairly large fried eggs
for breakfast. About an hour later I had either hunger pains or heartburn
in my stomach. It felt like a cross between the two. I couldn’t
concentrate

Courtney,
I also had the same problems when I first started eating protein. I solved
it by doing a liver cleanse which cleared out the clutter in my liver and
gallbladder, and allowed my bile to flow freely. Without bile, protein
digestion is Very difficult, even for us O’s. Unfortunately I had 25 years
of carb eating to cleanse out, and after I did, I could eat proteins without
a problem. I also take Chromium Picontilate to help with the carb cravings
and hunger issues. it also helped me with the hypoglycemia and Candidia
cravings, which both crave sweets.

It might just be that you need to heal. Watch what you season with also.
Might have used something that’s an avoid.

Hanida,
The liver cleanse is a really good idea! Where can I find more
information about doing my own?

It may have been some of the vitamins that caused the burning. That has
happened to me. Drink lots of water.

Hi Courtney,
The cleanse I used was from Dr. Clarks book “the cure for all diseases.” You
can also get other cleanses, and Dr. Clarks at <A
HREF=”www.curezone.com”
with a kidney cleanse, then went to the liver cleanse. Boy, what a
difference it made. I can now eat nuts and other fatty proteins without any
problems.

Courtney,
Why don’t you go to the modern herbalist web site, <A
HREF=”www.modernherbalist.com”
and do a free phone consolation with Dr. Dave. I did this a few months ago
and he answered many of my candidia questions, and helped me with my
irritable stomach. I did not buy his protocol for candidia, but I have
bought many of the products he recommended, and have had some great
improvements.
The candidia diet, and the O diet are very similar, but you must remember if
you eat O foods that are allowed, and have candidia, you are counteracting
yourself. They work together, but only to a certain extent.
If protein bothers you so much, then stick with proteins that are mild and
easier to digest, like chicken and fish. It took me a long time to deal with
red meat, and I still have problems with it. But after two liver flushes,
and parasite control, I can deal with it a lot better now. Also, high fat
foods like nuts really bother my stomach, and I have the burn after. It is
really a matter of finding out what you can and cant tolerate. Fasting for a
day also helps me to tolerate proteins, since I give my body time to
eliminate some of the toxins that are built up by eating sugars and processed
foods. (holiday food residue).
Yes, it is hard, believe me, I deal with the cravings every day, but with the
correct supplements, and a very patient attitude, you will find your way.
Remember to be kind to yourself, but not too kind. Starch addiction is a
REALLY hard addiction to break, up there with nicotine!
Feel free to e-mail me if you would like to hear more of what I find works
for me. I don’t want to bore everyone else with it.
Don’t give up!

Wish is right. We’re all different. You’ll have to fine tune the diet to
you. I do think that omitting grains is pivotal to getting better. I was
amazed at what they did to me.
