Grain Free/ Starch Free Diets

I went to visit a mom (who is also a chiropractor and nutritionist) who I had met years ago to ask her to display flyers for my healthy cooking classes that are coming up. She sat and talked with me for a few minutes and helped me understand my present thinking better. Here is her blog address

She advocates a grain free, starch free, gluten free cooked and raw diet with meats . She had said that many of her patients have crohn's, colitis and celiac disease. I know I felt better on the raw foods diet (mostly no grains unless sprouted which I didn't do often) but still felt not quite "right". I felt there was something missing... then I heard about macrobiotics which said to plan meals around grains as the main attraction. This didn't work for me either, although the warming foods and soups and seaweeds, I believe, did wonders for me.

I have been eating less and less grains and starches and have been feeling better but still again not perfect. I still have many food allergies/intolerances (IgG tested) and know that plays into how I feel at times. Research what makes YOU feel best and get your blood tested yearly (and completely...for vitamins, minerals , and hormone levels, etc) to make sure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs and that your diigestion is working properly to assimilate what you eat as well.
