Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Could it be the eggs!!!!

Please God, let the answer be no!!!!

I have been NSD'ing for a few weeks now, and have had very few symptoms. I was trying to find something really tasty for my lunch and so had some Salad Nicoise, with Lettuce, Tuna, Anchovies, Olives, Capers, a nice chilli dressing and Eggs.

The way I saw it is that this was pretty , much starchless, and the most delicious thing ever, so why all of a sudden have I got worst symptoms????

For breakfast I have berries with natural yoghurt, granola, raisins and almonds, and have had for a few weeks now, and was fine. It seems to be since I have had an abundance of eggs (Omlettes for my dinner, scrambled eggs) that the pain has got worst................

Any advice?????

Hi Steve,
I eat at least two jumbo eggs everyday without problem. Could it be an ingredient in the dressing? That would be the first thing I would examine. But, as mentioned previously, everyone is different and it may be you're unable to tolerate eggs?! Do consider activity level, too. I do very well on the NSD but if I add any activity that increases intestinal transit time, i.e., running, I am in trouble...

Steve,
One other thing... I can't eat berries at all. Think it is because the seeds irritate my gut lining and increase leaky gut. I love and raise raspberries but, alas, can't eat a one without severe flare...

Steve,
Also, and finally, what is in the granola? If it has cereal in it, such as oatmeal, that is a no-no...

What is in the chilli dressing? Any store bought sauses immediately are suspicious to me.

Both yogurt and granola would set me off... (yogurt after a 1-2 days). Granola immediately.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I may stop the Yoghurt, Granola and berries and see what happens. The dressing is fresh, made with olive oil and chilli vinegar.

Any tips on breakfast!!!!!!

I have two hard boiled eggs for breakfast, or yogurt and string cheese. so far I have been doing well with that, but have been thinking of having veggie soup that I made for breakfast. Who says we can't have salad or veggies for breakfast?

I know a lot of people here eat almonds, but if I have any more than 4 or 5 a day I will react, especially things made with almond flower. If you are having IBS symptoms, it could also be the result of food allergies.

Yoghurt - some people react to dairy. There has been talk in the past of the milk protein cassein being an issue (rather than lactose)
Granola - off diet as it has grains
vinegar - take care with this. I suspect I rect to foods with vinegar, but I am not certain. Maybe it disturbs my gut flora or something I dunno... for now it is just a suspicion

Once you are doing well it is a good idea to limit yourself to adding only one new food ingredient a day. That way there is little doubt as to what you reacted to.

>> if I have any more than 4 or 5 a day I will react, especially things made with almond flower

ted says he reacts to almonds too, although mildly. My AS seems fine with almonds, but I get this weird conjunctivitis every time I eat them. Most likely a symptom of reiters syndrome (reactive arthritis) raising its head
