I am on list three and have been very cautious to try things for fear of a flare up in my symptoms. Just wondering how others proceeded when going to list three. I am afraid to try tomatoes, onions, peppers other cheeses, grapefruit etc... When cooking I will literally be going back and forth with my decisions as to whether I should add something or not. Have any of the list three foods been particularily bothersome for people. I do realize that we are all different but still interested in others experiences. I have added plain yogurt and been fine also added blueberries and carrots. What other cheeses would be okay? Is feta too strong? I was thinking of making spanokopita with spelt phylo but not sure if feta was okay. Any suggestions from others would be appreciated.
Thanks Kriste
List 3
Hi Kriste, Do not be afraid to try new foods. I recently got the Ok to try list 4 ( I started on list 3 after 2 months of treatment) and I too was a little scared. You're right; everyone is different, so try things slowly. I am OK with tomatoes, onions and red peppers (green peppers are a little harsh). I have tried mozzarella, muenster, and provolone cheeses...all have been good. I have not tried feta cheese yet. I just tried eating grapefruit 2 days ago since I thought the citric acid would be too much to take, but I did fine. When I am not sure how I will react, I eat just a couple of spoonfuls to test it. I think it is great that you are advancing to another list. Good luck and enjoy the holidays. E Salinas
Feta
Don't be afraid to to try foods on list three. It took me a while to get to list three, but once Matia gave me the green light I was really ready for it. I can have everything on list three plus feta. I have a tomato and feta omellete every morning and it is the best feeling in the world because I have worked so hard get here and now I can really enjoy it.
list 3
Thank you for your replies and your encouragement. Feta and tomato omlette sounds wonderful! It is amazing how much more I appreciate food. It is interesting how others react to my food. At work I always have comments about how fresh my food smells and how healthy it looks.
Hi Kriste, congrats on
Hi Kriste,
congrats on advancing to Diet 3, I just started diet 2 but I have to wait until Monday because the stores are closed on Sundays here, lol.
I feel the same, sort of in my confort zone of knowing that my foods are non-harmful. But just imagine all the new cooking possibilities, wow. So exciting haha.
Take care and have fun with cooking :-)
natural sugars
Just wondering how people have been when trying to introduce foods that have natural sugar like carrots, spaghetti squash, fruits etc... Last month I tried to add carrots but I think that I reacted to this by increasing urination. This month I added spaghetti squash and I think that I may be recting to this. I am thinking that it is the sugars.
