My diet is already so limited, it seems...the only meat I eat is Lamb
from New Zealand.  I've already eliminated Nuts because they were coming
out undigested, that is when I started eating the tahini with figs
dipped in it or a little fruit sweetened jelly mixed in.  I guess it
could be that.

I don't know of any food allergies,  is there any other way besides
eliminating, to find out about allergies?

By some of each do you mean, each WOE, as in some grains?  I get
exercise, and relaxation...my attitude is great!  I'm just getting a
little confused, I think.

A few things have changed...when I began I was eating alot of nuts and
dried fruit and I was loving it but after awhile I was not digesting the
nuts, as i have said, still craving a sweet snack, I started with the
tahini and dried fruit, also I have been sauteing apples, vadalia
onions, raisens, with ginger and cinnomon and eating it wiyh the
lamb...sugar and protien...perhaps it is the sugar and protien combo
that is giving me the problem because I also have been eating fried
plantians with maple syrup on them and scrambled eggs.

I think I will be in denial if it is the lamb because I am so particular
about what I eat and I feel comfortable with the quality of the New

How do you know I have a leaky gut?
