Our family is going through some health challenges these days. We all contracted Covid this past December. I have since been dealing with complications from catching it--mostly abdominal pains and extreme fatigue, sometimes bordering on exhaustion. Recovery has been slow, but I feel better when the weather is warm and the sun is out. I try to spend time in the sun whenever it is out. Here in Michigan, that isn't everyday. But I take advantage of it whenever I can. My husband has had increasing problems with food sensitivities. He has been unable to eat wheat for many years, but ever since he had his gall bladder out, his food sensitivities have increased. He cannot eat onions, garlic, white potatoes, nutritional yeast flakes, and other herbs. We don't understand what is going on, except to say he may be dealing with a leaky gut. We take a daily probiotic which I hope may help someday.MorePost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

My body has been healing slowly but surely. I can handle tomatoes again. Yay! Though I don't push it. Same for others in the nightshade family. Just to be safe. Sweet potatoes are definitely a friend!Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

Going oil free and eating whole food plant based, following the Starch Smart way, has helped so much! I had developed allergies to citrus, spinach, tomatoes, nutritional yeast flakes, and a few other foods. But all these have disappaeared! My sensitivity to gluten is still there but it has decreased. I trust that as I lose weight and keep eating this way, I'll have total healing!More

I have been amazed how eating 1 or 2 apples curbs my hunger too. There's so much fiber in these northern-grown fruits. Biggest challenge is for me not to add grains like rice or oats to my 3rd meal. It may be just me but it makes it hard for me to sleep, it seems to create more acid. So I try to stick to just fruit. Sometimes I'll just have 2 meals a day and focus on starches, leafy veggies and whole grains. Or I'll have some berries on oatmeal for breakfast. That always fills me up.MorePost is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

prentir reacted to this post about 5 years agoI have dropped a dress/pant size since January. But I'm hoping to keep losing. I try to eat only fruits for supper and this is helping--I focus on northern grown fruits. Lately, I have a small bowl of frozen blueberries and an apple. It seems to be working.

MoreIs it possible to have lupus if you have redness on your cheeks and the bridge of your nose but don't have any other lupus symptoms? My skin rash has improved since going oil free and avoiding tree nuts. But sometimes I wonder if I have lupus. I'm wondering if I should have some medical tests to find out.

MoreI have a friend whose daughter has kidney disease. The doctor thinks it may be FSGS. Wondering if there is any lifestyle related treatments that can help her. She had a kidney transplant but her body has recently rejected it. So it is back to dialysis. Wondering if there are other options available for someone like her.

MoreMy son has had a severe stomach flu. We then discovered he is dealing with a stomach ulcer. I've been following an ulcer-healing way of eating that involves no nuts, citrus, or spicy foods. But he told me this morning, he's worried he's still losing weight (lost weight during the flu because of not eating and vomitting). So he experimented yesterday morning and had a little almond butter on some millet bread I made.
I have a list of ideas for gaining weight but most of them are based on using natural fats--nuts, seeds, olives, avocados. Fat builds acid in the stomach so we are trying to avoid these right now. Do you have any other natural ways to gain weight on a plant-based diet?

I've found I have flareups in a skin rash on my face when I get too much natural fats--wondering if this is normal?
