Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Confused with veggies

Most of us are a bit different... so there are not 100% right answers for some of your questions... and seeing some of the issues may be even more difficult for you.

My personal experience...
- Zucchini, cooked cabbage, cooked broccoli/carrots, asparagus, cooked collards are all OK

- Cauliflower causes me issues

I hate brussel sprouts so do not even try them.

However... I have seen others post that have issues with cooked carrots and asparagus of any sort (has natural FOS) and no issues with cauliflower.

Best to you.

My list is quite similar to Dotyisle

Safe:
All leafy greens (cabbage, spinach, kale, etc), zucchini, turnips, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, long green beans, lettuce, beets, carrots, capsicum (green, red, yellow peppers), tomatoes, broccoli, bean sprouts, red cabbage

Be careful with:
Avocado, pumpkin

Unsafe:
sunflower seeds, peas

I had the same experience as a previous poster with avocados - they caused inflammation initially and with time my gut flora must have improved as I can not tolerate them perfectly well :-)

Zark, are the veggies u listed as safe cooked or raw?

Nightshade veg don't bother u?

How do u do with Butternut squash? Pumpkin seeds? Coconut butter/milk?

Fermented foods like Kraut and Apple cider vinegar?

And are seaweeds ok like dulse?

Yeah, avocados are tricky... They are a histamine food, which can cause pains

So turnips and carrots are not starchy? What about daikon radish? Rutabaga?

Yes... if you cook veggies they can become more starchy as it releases with cooking. I mostly eat veggies raw or steamed (zucchini, asparagus, brocolli).

Carrots can be issue for some here... I have never read zucchini or cabbage being an issue from starch for anyone here.[/quote]

probably some geographical differences or probably it depends on the species the farmers grow here and there, or probably some differences between you and me i do not react to raw carrots, but i do react to steamed zucchini or brocolli.

i always say - test yourself, keep a food diary for evaluate your reactions and you'll see what's best for you.

Rutabaga, turnip, radishes are actually very potent candida killers. Might be worth eating. Are these eaten raw or cooked?

How do you all tolerate apple cider vinegar?? I've heard some say it's great or bad for dysbiosis....

When I was first here at Kickas way back in 2002 there was a poster by name of LaMonty that used Apple Cider Vinegar with great results.

I trialed and did not fare so well.

I avoid most root vegetables. The general exceptions to this are ginger and garlic (and lately onion). From my experience, one of the most potent candida killers is raw garlic. There was a short period of time where I was eating 2-3 raw cloves per meal. Needless to say, I smelled to high hell during that time...


Occasionally, I take an ACV tonic mainly for preventative maintenance. I've never had any problem with ACV.

Good luck!

Hi former foodie
how did you notice that the garlic helped? Isnt it starchy? what is your diet like today? did you reintroduce fruit again?
Thanks

Garlic may be starchy... I am unsure, but I have never had an issue with it. It is a natural antibiotic.
