This page deals with the Rotation Diet which is mentioned in
many books on allergies and Candida Albecans / Yeast problems. To make
it easier for you, a list of food families and their members is below.
Rotating your food means not eating of the same food family but once
every N days. N is usually 4 or 7, but might be longer for some foods.
Let's say you are on the four day rotation plan starting with Monday:
| MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
| FRIDAY |
| MUSTARD FAMILY | LEGUME FAM. | GRAIN | PARSLEY |
| Red Cabbage | Beans | Wheat | Parsnips |
Same |
| Diacon | Peas | Corn | Carrots | as
|
| Radishes | Jicama | Pasta | Onions
| Monday |
| Rutabagas! | |
| Fish | Rabbit | Shrimp | Beef |
(We illustrate with ony two families per day, in reality you would eat several
families per day.)
So if
you eat any meals with
members of, say, the "cabbage" family on Monday, you would not eat any of
that
family of foods again again till the fourth day, or Friday.
That
means no cabbages, rutabagas, diacon, radishes, etc. till then. On Friday,
you might eat several meals with cabbage family members, like red cabbage
and rutabagas, etc.; then stay away from the family till the following
Tuesday. (The so called cabbage family is more properly called the
mustard family.)
Why? The theory is that the foods in each family have a lot of
proteins in common, and if one is allergic to one item in a food family,
one is more likely to be, or to develop an allergy to another food in the
same family. Putting some time between these families allows the food
proteins to clear from your body, and most of the antibodies to dissipate.
This way, the immune system gets some rest, and is less likely to "panic",
triggering a major allergic episode. More on that in the article immune.html.
In practice, you may find that you need to put some foods on a longer
rotation list, such as seven days, or several weeks. A lot of problematic
foods tend to cease to be problems when one rotates them on a long enough
cycle. But some, you may find you just can't eat and feel well after.
that's why you need to keep a Foods, Feelings Faculties diary. YOU have
to find out for your self. Each of us is different. One size does not fit
all.
We have a new
Food Allergy and Rotation Chat Page set up for those who want to
discuss their food allergies and rotation strategies.
The following is a list of apparently related foods grouped by family.
Some foods have a phase indicator number derived from the book "The Yeast
Syndrome", by Trowbridge and Walker. The book is recommended reading for
anyone with food allergies and/or possible yeast problems. They explain
food rotation very well, I think better than the other books I have read.
Presentation of this list should be construed as research and although the
list is not entirely derived from the book, may be construed as a rather
favorable review of what is said book.
In other words, I suggest you buy the book, it's an inexpensive
paperback, and has a LOT of useful information in it. Their list is
sorted according to phase, not food group, and this list includes more
foods and herbs than they have in their book. Still, go buy their book!
It's well worth the few dollars it costs!
If you are using the Phase system in Trowbridge and Walker's book, for
the first few months, you would stick to those foods with the lowest phase
number, as they say in their book. As you get better, add members of
higher phase numbers, monitoring your progress to make sure you are not
getting any worse.
The easiest way I found to handle a rotating diet, is to print
out the food list that follows this text, (see the menu bar on
your web browser for PRINT or FILE,) cut and paste each food family to its
own 3x5 card, [on both sides where needed,] and put them in a box. Look
to eat foods that are near the front of the card stack. When you eat a
food, take the card out of the stack and put it in the back of the card
stack. Presto! Automatic food family rotation -- No Computers Needed!
On the back of the card, you might also note how you felt some hours
after eating that food. That is not really a replacement for the
diary/log book mentioned at the Mall-Net allergy resource page,
but it helps.
