I quit eating grains for one year a couple of years ago.  Matia did not want me to quit grains at the time, but I did it anyhow.  I did not notice a difference in symptoms, but my blood test for candida said that the yeast was down to the normal levels.  I had not had a normal reading before.  I have since started eating some grains again because there aren't many foods that I tolerate and my weight was down.  I mostly ate a lot of potatoes when I was off the grains.  I ate fish and red potatoes for breakfast.  Red potatoes are lower in starch.  You could also use any other meat.  For lunch I ate a large salad with a protein on top and sometimes ate some potato chips or more potatoes.  For dinner I ate meat and potatoes and salad.  If you tolerate some of the veggies on the list, you could eat them.  For bedtime snacks I ate more red potatoes.  I got pretty sick of potatoes, but it helped to accomplish my goal of being off the grains.  My bladder has always flared on whole grains, so I do better on the unbleached regular flour even though it isn't the best thing to be eating.  I hate to say it, but I snacked on potato chips.  One has to eat something and I have a hard time tolerating most vegetables.  Maybe someone else has some better ideas, but that is how I went about it.  Try it and see how you do.  I would think you would need to be off grains for several months if you are going to see a difference.  Good luck!

I was off grains for a while, actually, I go off grains sometimes, but I do it when I feel like I am eating way too many rice crackers and want to quit that habit. Matia had told me to try it for two weeks to see if there was a difference in my symtoms. I enjoyed steamed spinach (a bowl) and an omelette for breakfast. Salad with tuna, salmon or chicken for lunch, etc. I also didn't eat potatoes during this time, basically when I do this, I cut out the carbs.I find that when I cut out the carbs, it is easier to eat more veggies, because I never stuff myself with rice or crackers.Try salt called "fleur de sel", the grains are big and crunchy and makes meals more tasty and special. It helps me...
