Coconut-muffins

Hello all,

after a three day pineapple only frenzy, I needed something with substance for breakfast. And since I am still reacting to honey, I made some bland (but still awesome) muffins.

You need:
1 cup almond and coconut flour (half and half)
2 eggs
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp aplle cider vinegar
(1 Tbsp honey)
Mix all the liquid bits first, thenadd the dry, fill in 4 muffin trays. Bake at 170 for 12-15 minutes, let them cool down. I had mine toasted, with yoghurt cream cheese and cashew butter, alongside more pineapple.
You can also add some pineapple into the batter, if you like. After over 6 months of no bread etc., this was so awesome.

Muesli to kill for

I have a great new breakfast! I love it!

You need:

yoghurt
some blanched almonds
some pepitas
some diced papaya
some fresh coconut
cinnamon, cloves

Mix and enjoy! if you are too lazy to chew, you can throw it into a blender until it is like porridge. I you are not strictly scd, throw in some freshly ground linseeds or psyllium husks.
Exchange the papaya with pomegranate or other fruit, if you want. Just remember to drink enough, since it is very rich in fibre!

Turkish mince meat with pomegranate seeds

You need:

some fresh pomegranate seeds (careful, use silicone gloves , the color stains like hell)
mince meat (beef, or better, lamb)
1 clove of garlic
oreganum and rosmary
courgette or eggplant
yoghurt
olive or coconut oil

Fry meat with rosmary in a pan, then add diced courgette. Add oreganum, salt and pepper. Put onto a dish.
Press the garlic into the joghurt, add the pomegranate seeds, and pour over meat, serve.
If you can eat walnuts, please add. I had it with pepitas, but they are not a great exchange. This dish needs walnuts, if tolerated. You can also use this as a topping for a pizza, if you cannot have cheese or tomatoes.

Pepita and courgette omelette

You need:
2 eggs
a handful of pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/2 courgette
1 slice bell pepper
thyme
1 small clove garlic
salt


Throw everything into a blender, and then fry in coconut oil. Hmmm. I also added some cheddar as a topping, tasted a bit like a pizza.

De-worm food

Hello again.

After I finally found out that the blastos are not the main culprit for my problems, I found a way to deal with Mr. Enterobius.

Mr. Enterobius is a highly infectious parasite, and can get really, really nasty, since you can get new eggs into yourself by inhaling (they cling to dust), chewing fingernails, preparing food, and retro-infection.
Besides becoming a cleaning nazi and treating your whole family, including your pet with dewormers, there are some foods that he hates, and here is a list. For those who can stomach  raw facts, I will include some other tips at the bottom.

Foods that Enterobius hates:

Raw pumpkin seeds
Blanched almonds

Raw, fresh coconut
Stuns them and you might be able to purge some of them out, once you eat huge amounts of them.

Raw grated carrots and carrot juice.
Rich in fiber and vitamin A, and apprently, it works, don't ask me why. Can also be used before a purge.

Pomegranate seeds and pomegranate juice (no sugar)
Drink 200ml, twice or 4 times daily. Expensive, though.


Papaya and papaya seeds, pineapple
Have the enzymes papain and bromelaine, that can digest the skin of them.
Papaya seeds taste peppery.

Yoghurt: rich in good probiotics, and worms hate probiotics.
Cloves: best fresh, non-irradiated, freshly ground. Consume however you can around 1 tsp a day, to kill eggs. I make a shot with orange juice, so I dont have to taste it.
Cayenne pepper: powerful, can even slice up a tapeworm. consume at least 1/2 tsp a day. I mix it with the cloves into the shot. I drink two of those shots daily (split the amounts) , one before breakfast and one before dinner, and cool down with some yoghurt.
Thyme: some people like to drink tea from fresh thyme, but not me. I just add it to my dishes anyway.
Turmeric, asafoetada, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper: all very nice and spicy, and they hate it. Make more curries, more often ;)
Diatomaceous earth, food grade: some people say it cuts them into pieces, other say it will force the worms into other organs. I take it anyway, I think it helps, and vets use it for animals regularly. Do not inhale!!!!! I drink a tablespoon in either my pomegranate juice or in milk, 1-2 times daily


Other helpful advice to kill enterobius:


The pregant ladyworms carry tons of eggs, so get rid of them. They lay eggs preffered around full moon, at night, on your skin around the anus. they can even acidentally get into your female bits, so make sure to kep them out, else it will turn really, really nasty. To keep them from wandering: Put a garlic clove into a jar of vaseline. spread this over your anus, every night. Remove carefully first thing in the morning. In some very bad cases, cover a clove of garlic with vaseline, use as suspensorium.


If they have laid eggs, it will itch. Do not scratch. You will spread them. To keep yourself  or kids from scratching overnight, wear gloves.
Shower immediately after waking up. They hate warm soapy water.
Change undies daily, and treat as hazardous material. Wash at 50 degrees, use dryer if possible. If not possible, hang them outside to dry in the sun. Eggs die in sunlight. Else they keep viable for 3 weeks :(


Wash bedsheets and Pjs as often as you can, vacuum regularly every 2-3 days, desinfect the loo, and clean doorknobs, lightswitches with alcohol or bleach.
Keep fingernails short. Wash hands too often. Do not pick your nose, they can grow there, too.

Medications: 
There are lots available.
Mebendazole and pyrentel pamoate/embonate are the most common ones. Take them but do not expect wonders. If you have a lot worms, this can hurt as hell. Take them, but one dose won't be enough, so make sure to take it regularly, every two weeks, and mix them up! I had 2x mebendazole, the next turn I will use pyrentel pamoate. And then...either I go back to mebendazole, or try a commercial available de-worm tincture for a while (cloves, wormwood, cayenne, golden seal...). Or mybe I can get my GP to give me albendazole or thiabendazole or whatever else.
If symptoms lessen, do not think it is over! They can be still there, so it doesnt hurt if you take de-worm medications once a month before full moon for 6 months. This is what I will do. Never again.

De-worm Lassi 1

Hello again,

today I want to tell you how I make my latest favourite food of the day (scd legal, even!)

You need: 

SCD legal yoghurt

Fresh papaya

For tasty variations: fresh ginger, fresh mint, honey...

I simply throw 1/4 peeled papaya inclusive seeds (yes, leave them in!) and the yoghurt with a tad filtered water into a blender. 

The lassi will not be smooth or sweet (unless you add honey), but will have a refreshing and peppery taste.
You can also use this as a yummy salad dressing.

The seeds have an enzyme called papain in them, they are able to digest the for us undigestable wormskin. Aditionally, they have a mild laxative ability. The important thing is that you drink it daily, on the long term, to get rid of the bugs. Some people recommend a three to four day papaya and pineapple only fast, but I cannot do that yet. Pineapple is still too strong for me, but I will post recipes as soon as I will add it in bigger amounts.

Pumpkin muffins

This is an easy recipe, and it involves only pumpkin, eggs and cinnamon.
You need: 4 eggs, 4 cup of pumpkin, 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of baking soda (tiny!!! else: soapy taste)

Mix it in a blender, grease up you muffin baking tray. Fill the tray with the batter, heat up your oven to 150°C, and bake for 30-40 minutes.
I eat mine warm (microwaved for a few seconds) and with a chunk of butter.

Bla, bla, blastocystis is not a pathogen, bla.

 

Hello all,

I need to write about the stubborness of GPs and specialists, and post linke to prove them wrong. 

They all pray the same mantra: Blastosystosis is not a pathogen. 

Uh-huh. I am in my 13th month of ppain, and it was the only thing they found so far, after I made an overpriced stool test to finally get a diagnose.

But with the diagnose, the trouble are still not over, since one of the parasites they found is called Blastocystis homnis, leading to a disease called Blastocystosis.

GPs and specialists shut their eyes about the increasing Problem.

Here is a little list of pages to read up on: 

www.badbugs.org

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/parasites-linked-to-sewage-fertiliser-as-stomach-bugs-grip-sydney/story-e6freuy9-1226051794833
http://www.nleducation.co.uk/resources/reviews/blastocystis-hominis-is-it-really-a-problem
http://www.bhomcenter.org/
http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/blastocystis/faqs.html
http://blastocystis.wordpress.com/

There you have it.
IT IS a pathogen, and even linked to colon cancer, thank you very much.
And closing your eyes wont make it go away. Go to your GPS, shove the papers into their faces and tell them to at least read through it, and then ask them, if it is no problem, why all of these people see relief once the bugs are gone?

Good luck to us all, we need it.

Spinach and Brie Omelett

OMG! I dared to ty out spinach...and as long as I keep the amounts small (3-4 leaves), it doesnt hurt too much.

1egg
3-4 leaves fresh spinach
1/4 Brie or blue cheese
Nutmeg
some Ghee

Melt ghee in pan, fry small cut spinach until done (it will turn all dark green, soft, small). Add some nutmeg to the beaten egg, add to spinach, mix and then let it settle. Sprinkle with pieces of brie or blue cheese, put a lid onto the pan, so the cheese gets soft while the egg sets.
Serve.

Pumpkin pie custard (honey free)

You need:
1 small pie form for the oven (I make only a tiny tiny amount, about one cup)
2/3 cup cooked pumpkin
1/3 cup SCd legal yoghurt
1 big egg
cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg (lots of all)


Blend in blender, pour into form, bake at 160°C for 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

Pancakes...the other kind of pancakes

I have found a couple of pancake recipes...but they taste different and are different. But I have to admit, I like them, since I slowly but surely cannot eat chicken drumsticks anymore.

Chicken pancakes:
1 cooked chicken breast, 2 eggs. Put into blender, season however (I just add salt), fry in pan, done.

Avocado pancakes:
1/2 avocado, 1 egg: put into blender,  season, fry in pan.

Pumpkin pancakes:
1/2 cup cooked pumpkin, Cinnamon, a tiny bit of vanilla essence, 1 or 2 eggs. Blend, fry.

 Important: do not add baking soda! they taste like soap if you do :/

Spiced Tea

I love chai tea, but I cannot have milk and tea yet other than black. So I use this instead:

1 bag of black tea
1/2 cup of almond milk
spices: fresh ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, black pepper

Heat up the almond milk in the microwave, boil water in the kettle. Add the black tea, and the spices, infuse for 1 minute, then take the bag out. Voila!

Almond milk

You need:

a blender
200g fresh dried, unroasted almonds
1 l filtered water
a nut bag/ tea towel and a colander

First you need to get rid of the skins. You boil the almonds for 1 minute, then take them out. The skin is now very easy to peel off.
Then you soak the almonds over night. Discard of that water. Put the almonds and the filtered water into the blender and blend very fine. Pour the liquid into the nutbag or in the colander with the tea-towel to strain the liquid. Feed animals with the leftover nut fiber of use it in your garden. The milk will keep 3-4 days in the fridge. You can also make nut milk yoghurt, but I haven't done it yet.

Pumpkin custard

I am craving for sweets, but the parasites make this difficult because they just love sugar.
My solution atm: pumpkin custard. I plan on baking a pumkin pie, but not yet.

You need:
cooked and pureed pumpkin (butternut tastes best)
unsalted butter
lots of cinammon


Put how much you like in a bowl, heat up in the microwave and done. I serve mine with some spiced tea.

SCD legal curries

Another one of my favourite foods atm: Curries.

You need:
mince meat (any will do)
A few tablespoons of pureed veggies (pumkin is awesome, but I works very nicely with spinach, too)
1 tablespoon yoghurt
Spices: turmeric, cardamom, cumin, nutmeg if with spinach, cinnamon if with pumkin, chilli, scd legal curry mix, cloves, black pepper...
Ghee
(3-4 cloves of fresh pressed garlic if you need to get rid of parasites, fungus or bacteria like me, but leave it out if you suffer from crohns or celiacs!)

Heat ghee in a big pan, fry the meat and add the spices. Add some water or stock, and then the veggies. Serve with yoghurt if too spicy and with fresh garlic as antibiotic.

Amazing Egg Bread

I still need to eat TONS of sausage to get my daily fill, but I found out that I am not reacting to eggs anymore, which is a huge relief.
I found this amazing recipe on pecan bread and tweaked it a tad.
You need :

1 boiled chicken breast
5 eggs
1/3 cup pureed and cooked veggies (I use carrot and courgette, but works fine with others, too)
1 tablespoon oil
1teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch caraway (i love caraway!)

Put it all in a blender and blend it until fine. Fill into either muffin forms or cake tray, and bake at 160°C for 45/60 minutes. It tastes really close to bread! I love it with tons of butter (my newest snack, lol)

Roasted chicken

Hello all,
I found a nice and SCD legal way to make a roasted chicken, and thought I should share the recipe.

You need:
carrots or pumkin
a whole chicken
one lemon
olive oil, thyme, paprika powder, salt, pepper

Wash the chicken and dry it. Put the lemon into the cavity. Blaze the chicken with olive oil mixed with the spices. Heat up oven to 200°C.
Cut pumpkin or carrots into chunks, and put into a tray (I used a glass roasting tray).
Put the chicken on the top grill, and the tray with the veggies directly underneath. Add some water to the veggies (a few tablespoons are enough).
Roast the chicken for 1 hour, turn on the grill for the last 5-10 minutes for crispy skin.
The veggies will be cooked enough to mash after this time, too.

Cheers!

Thyme sausage

Original recipe here, from SCD lifestyle

I took:

1/2-1 kg of beef mince (premium or prime, or both)
1/2-1 kg of pork mince
some teaspoons of water
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
turmeric, paprika powder or cinnamon, or all three, or none of them

Mix well in a huge bowl.


Grease up a bread baking pan (the long ones for banana bread) and fill up with the mince mix, press in evenly.
Cover with some tinfoil, so it won't dry out.
Heat up oven to 300° Fahrenheit or 150° Celsius, and bake for 3 hours.
Take out, let it cool down, put in fridge or freeze away in small batches.
Fry slices in coconut oil or olive oil before eating.

My Bf stole some of it , added some gravy and pasta, and ate everything up even though he had planned to take leftovers with him for the next day.

4 days of pumpkin

Hello all,

As I said before, I had huge troubles. For a year. Big stabbing hot pain, bloating to the point that I looked like 9 months pregnant.
And when I got m diagnose, I went onto the intro diet...but it didnt really work. It improved things, but not...really.

Until I decided: " alright, lets do this the hard way: 4 days of meat and pumpkin. "

Oh my. I was scared. But it worked! No kidding!

So here is what I ate:

Breakfast: thyme sausage, self made, fried in coconut oil or olive oil
Lunch: either sausage, broiled beef patties, chicken or beef soup with 2-3 teaspoons of cooked and pureed buttercup or butternut pumpkin.
Dinner: see lunch.

Boring? Not at all!

I cooked the beef patties, the chicken soup and the pumkin according to the rules of the intro diet.
But the cooked pumpkin is awesome. I spiced it up to whatever I wanted, and I did the same with my beef patties. I had beef patties with cinnamon, beef and pork patties with either paprika or turmeric and black pepper, chicken patties or even lamb.
I also spiced my pumpkin: sweet cinnamon pumpkin for breakfast (leave out salt), spicy curry pumpkin (salt, pepper, turmeric, cumin) or I put it into the soup.
I also had some beef schnitzel and a great steak, just with salt, pepper, and pumkin mash on the side.
I ate LOTS of meat. Meat is less dense in calories, so you need to eat more to have enough energy for the day. I also ate spoonfuls of coconut oil to get more calories in.

And I ate lots of thyme sausage. I like this stuff.

Since I still had no antibiotic, I took a probiotic. It is not SCD legal, but it didnt give me too much trouble. I took Natrens superdophilus, which is lactobazillus acidophilus, and took 1/4 tsp every evening before I went to bed for a week. Then I doubled the dose to 1/2 tsp the next week. I also prepared self made Kefir from lactose free milk and took 1 tsp every evening, too. Kefir is a stronger natural probiotic than yoghurt. I had some bloating, but since I slept, I had no big troubles in the mornings and all day.
additionaly, I took GI proZymes as enzymes, 1 peppermint oil capsule 30 minutes before meals, and one or two capsules of betaine HCL to help with the meat digestion. I didnt like it, and I have no idea if it helps or not, but since you cannot test your HCL levels here in NZ, I didn't care. Once the bottle is empty, I wont buy again.

Try it out, it will improve a lot of your symptoms.

The Big Change

Hello my dear readers.

I finally got diagnosed with baterial overgrowth, and went onto a new diet. I was sceptical at first, and it didn't really seem to work. I learned that I had to tweak it, bend it, until it fit me...and suddenly it started to work out! I finally improved! The last three days were amazing! I feel...awesome!
But that means I have to tweak this page too.

No worries, I will still post recipes that I will find, on the web or elsewhere, as well as information about what I do to heal my poor gut. But I will only do this in english. But, if you want the recipes in german, send me an email and I will do so :).

First a few words about this new diet.

It is called "special carbohydrate diet" and got invented by Elaine Gotschall in the late 1950s.
She wrote an awsome book called "breaking the vicious circle", and I strongly recommend reading it. Don't think: "hey, that isnt for me, that is for Crohns/celiacs/autism" because, actually, it is for much more medical problems. I am not kidding. It can help patients with IBS, Colitis Ulcerosa,Crohns, Celiacs, Malabsorbtions, Fybromyalgia, Diabetics and Obesity. And, according to all the pages I found on the web, even with depression and psychosis.

I had nothing to loose, so I did it. And, it is not a diet for short term, it is a more healthy lifestyle. I rather cook a lot and eat differently for the rest of my life, if I have to or want to, than feeling sick again. Seriously.
Give it a try, for 30 days. Write up your daily food and symptoms, be moderate in your intake.

Here a a few links to the Intro diet:

This is the original page for the SCD intro diet. It is important that you do the intro, because it kills off some bugs and gives you a headstart into this diet. But remember, you might have to tweak it! Some of us cannot have the yoghurt yet (too much casein, too man live probiotics),
some cannot have honey,grapejuice, or eggs, or hate carrots....
I will tell you in the next post how I managed my 3 days of meat and pumkin only.

This is a page of two guys (Jordan and Steve) who have tried the diet and suceeded. They love it, so they do very good podcasts, articles, email, webinars...and they sell their own book.
And they will send you a very neat chapter about the intro diet for free, with pictures and everything.

And this here called Pecan bread is a great page, they even listed the foods into different stages, to help building up your safe food zone. They also have great recipes (which i will probably post here, too, once Ihave tried them out. )

Come on, lets get started!

Salted vegetables (stock base) / Eingesalzenes Gemüse

1.75 kgs safe veggies, eg: celery, parsnip, carrots, some fresh herbs (parsley, lovage, chives…), some green spring onion stalks (not too much, annoying taste!)

250g salt

Cut veggies into pieces, then put into food processor/ mixer and slice/ puree them to a very fine mush. Then mix good with the salt, and put into clean glass containers.

It will keep in he fridge pretty long, thanks to the salt.

I use a tablespoon of this mix for soups instead of stock.

________________________________________________________________________

1,75 kg sicheres Gemüse , also Sellerie, Pastinake, Möhren, frische Kräuter (Petersilie, Schnittlauch, Liebstöckel...) ein bisschen Frühlingszwiebelgrün (nicht zu viel, schmeckt sonst zu penetrant)

250g Salz

Das Gemüse kleinschneiden und in der Küchenmaschine gut zerkleinern, mit dem Salz gut mischen und in saubere Einmachgläser füllen.

Die Mischung hält sich dank Salz sehr lange im Kühlschrank, ich benutze einen Löffel davon statt Suppenpulver.

Easy Pumpkin Curry / leichtes Kürbis-Curry

You need:

300g or more pumpkin

2-3 stalks of onion greens

quite a lot pine nuts (I used a handful)

Canola Oil

50ml Safe stock

50ml LF yoghurt

Curry

Turmeric

Salt, pepper

Cut the Pumkin into small pieces.

Roast pine nuts in oil-free pan, then put aside.

Heat oil in pan and roast pumpkin for 5 minutes. Add curry and turmeric, roast another minute. Add stock and yoghurt, cook for 3 minutes, then add diced onion greens and cook another 3 minutes. Season, add pine nuts, and serve with rice.

Man nehme:

300g oder mehr Kürbis

2-3 Stängel Zwiebelgrün

eine ziemliche Menge Pinienkerne (ich nahm eine Handvoll)

Rapsöl

50ml sichere Brühe

50ml Yoghurt, LF

Kurkuma

Salz und Pfeffer

Den Kürbis in kleine Würfel schneiden, das Zwiebelgrün auch.

Die Pinienkerne ohne Öl in einer Pfanne rösten, dann beiseite stellen.

Öl in der Pfanne erhitzen und Kürbis 5 minuen anbraten. Curry und Kurkuma hinzufügen, eine Minute mitrösten. Joghurt und Brühe dazu, 3 Minuten köcheln lassen, Zwiebelgrün dazu, 3 weitere Minuten köchen lassen. Würzen, Pinienkerne dazu, mit Reis servieren.

Murgh Sagwala, FODMAP style: serves 2

200-300 g meat or fish, how and whatever you prefer

1 cup of diced spinach

2 tbsp of canned tomato

Rice

LF-milk

Coriander

Heat up a frying pan with oil or ghee, add a tiny amount of asafoetada, add the meat or fish and fry it. Then add the fresh ginger and the spices, let them fry for a minute.

Then add the spinach, let it shrink. Then add milk and tomato for moisture.

Pour this over rice. It was the closest I could get without bringing me into trouble, and damn, it was good.

200-300g Fleisch oder Fisch, (ich nahm Lammhack)

1 Tasse geschnittenen Spinat

2 EL Dosentomate, stückig oder passiert

Reis

LF-milch

Koriander

Garam masala

Kardamom

Asafoetada und Ghee oder Knoblauchöl

Kurkuma

Frischer Ingwer, geschnitten

Eine Pfanne mit Öl oder Ghee erhitzen, eine kleine Menge Asafoetada dazu, das Fleisch oder den Fisch anbraten. Den Ingwer und die Gewürze hinzufügen und ebenfalls eine Minute anbraten.

Den Spinat dazu, bi ser zusammenfällt, dann die tomate und die Milch dazu, etwas köcheln lassen. Dazu Reis.

Das war das, was dem Original am nächsten kam, und es war sehr lecker.

Probiotics/ Probiotika

Probiotics are very, very important.
I believe that DFI is actually started because of an imbalance of the intestinal microflora, since a lot of sufferers report that it all began with parasites, gastroenteritis or antibiotics.

I have read a lot scientific papers by now about probiotics, and I take some myself, too.
It is important that the ones you take have no FOS (Fermentable Oligo Saccharides), Polyles or Lactose, and that they have bacteria that actually work in your intestinal system (and not against a cold)
And another important thing: depending on your sensitivity, you will react against them. Big time. It usually takes 2-3 weeks until you stop reacting. But keep on going, it will calm down. And if you can open the capsules, start with a dash and increase the amount you have until you can take a whole tablet. And take them with something cold, heat normally kills them off.

Probiotika sind sehr, sehr wichtig.
Ich glaube, dass DFI durch ein Ungleichgewicht der intestinalen Mikroflora im Darm ausgelöst wird, weil viele Leidenden berichten, dass sie DFI bekamen nach Parasiten, Magen-Darm-Grippe oder Antibiotica.

Ich habe viele wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen über Probiotika gelesen und nehme selbst auch welche. Es ist sehr wichtig, dass die, die Du nimmst, weder Laktose, Zuckeralkohole oder FOS (Fermentierbare Oligo-Saccharide) haben. Es sollten auch Bakterien sein, die im Darm wirken, und nicht gegen eine Erkältung.

Und noch etwas: je nachdem, wie empfindlch Du bist, wirst Du gegen die Bakterien reagieren. Eventuell sogar sehr heftig. Es kann 2-3 Wochen dauern, bis Du Dich daran gewöhnt hast. Aber bleib dran, es wird aufhören. Und falls Du die Kapseln öffnen kannst, nimm nur eine kleine Prise und erhöhe die Dosis, sobald Du nicht mehr reagierst, bis du eine ganze Kapsel verträgst. Und nimm Die Probiotica mit kalten Getränken, Hitze tötet sie ab.
