484098 tn?1259527532 I love beets!!!! Thanks for the idea! I didn't know they were good for anemia! And if you need someone to help finish off your Oreos, I'm your girl! LOL!
Avatar f tn First, you IBS is probably not tied to these foods. Also, not to be a nit-picker, but corn is a grain, not a vegetable, and zucchini is a fruit, also not a vegetable. The importance of this is in both your IBS and the nutrients you might not be getting by not eating true vegetables. Corn can be a troublesome food for many, as it's a common allergen and also contains a lot of sugar. Carrots are great cooked and raw -- cooked they have more carotenoids, raw more fiber.
Avatar n tn well, what are you eating? is your diet decent? are you taking supplements or the amino acids that you need to repair all the brain damage? you are not going to like this, but if you do it i will guarantee almost energy. first you will need a juicer. fresh veg and fruit. 2 carrots 2 celery stalks like 1/2 of a beet or equal to a 1/4 cup (fresh beets) and throw in some of the greens from the beets 1 apple run them all through the juicer and drink in the morning.
435762 tn?1244682620 ve been eating lots of bananas or a handful of raw almonds (they really helped with my nausea) and I sometimes have a small carton of organic low fat chocolate milk that takes the edge off (and has lots of calcium). I've had some strange cravings too ... pickled beets and baked potato! Can't get enough of them! Hope you are all doing well!
973741 tn?1342342773 Mom, I asked you what nutrient in it does this. Said, not sure how this would work, and asked. Your answer was, sounds like something you don't know much about, which is pretty much what I said. Not very nice, Mom, so I'll be snarky too. You obviously didn't research it at all, because if you had you would have been able to answer my question, which was, what is the nutrient in beets that does this?

Avatar n tn s present and best absorbed from a variety of plants. Examples are nettles, raw spinach, raw dandelion greens, beets, parsley, watercress -- you get the picture here, green leafy vegetables and others as well. Now, just being a vegetarian doesn't mean you're eating well.
Avatar f tn I have these strange food cravings for the last 3 months: immitation crab, brussel sprouts, pomagranate, shrimp avocado, beets and sweet potatoes, NO JUNKFOOD, SO IT'S NOT PMS. Im 47, perimenpausal, recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, lower bowel resection last year, and require biweekly B12 shots just so I can be semi-active 4 of the 7 days of the week. After a few days, my thighs are very painful/weak, then I have to stay in bed for the 2nd shot.
1927233 tn?1326670387 I had beet soup (juice and pieces of beet) for dinner, part of my first full meal after two days of no eating/IV. Three hours later I suddenly have diarrhea. It appears bright orangy-red with little chucks of the same colour. Is it blood or just the beets??!!!! I'm very confused about what is wrong with me and whether this is a serious concern?
Avatar f tn Cooked spinach is actually a good source of non-heme iron and raw spinach contains oxalates (derived from oxalic acid) which IMPAIRS the absorption of iron. "Oxalates impair the absorption of nonheme iron. Oxalates are compounds derived from oxalic acid and found in foods such as spinach, kale, beets, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran, rhubarb, strawberries and herbs such as oregano, basil, and parsley. The presence of oxalates in spinach explains why the iron in spinach is not absorbed.
Avatar n tn 6 and for the past 6 months I have been exercising regularly (walking or jogging 3-5x a week for 30+ minutes a day) and for the past 8 weeks I have eaten 1lb of raw salad every weekday (no dressing, no iceberg lettuce, just raw and uncooked tomatoes, beets, broccoli, spinach, corn, etc). I also get much of my protein from tuna and nuts.
7282682 tn?1397237735 Hey nonights I haven't been on the social forum for awhile so this is kinda an old thread and hopefully you've found some help by now. If not I'll tell you what works for me- I have 3 inflammatory chronic illnesses- Crohn's, RA, and endo. I juice. The best combo is apple, celery, carrot, and ginger. I put 3 drops of homeopathic anti inflammatory booster in it. I avoid dairy, fried foods, red meat (except when I'm bleeding heavily) and raw veggies and nuts.
Avatar f tn beets, beets and more beets!
428506 tn?1296557399 I am eating healthier, I started to take Cats Claw a couple of days ago I try to everything the Natural way now with alternative medicine Cats Claw is recommended as a Natural anti biotic my health food store have technicians to do print outs for you. I do take a whole bunch of supplements ,the Complementary Med Forum is very good with information about supplements to take for everything.I have had symptoms for 21 years now on and off..
Avatar f tn Basically eating healthy, organic food, no red meat, limited salt intake and foods low in iron would be a start. Avoid processed foods.Freshly prepared or raw is best. If you are very overweight, you will need to exercise more, eat less, eat healthy and drink lots of water. And of course, absolutely no alcohol.Its bad for your liver and worse with hep C. Beets and artichokes are said to be good for the liver. I know there's more, try doing a search.
Avatar m tn During my pregnancy (I am hcv 1b) I started itching all over my body, my billirubin was extremely high. I didn't want to take the medicines they gave me - just in case to avoid any potential harm to my babies. Instead I did what my mother advised me to do - I ate boiled beets (not canned). First day after I did it, itching was completely gone, and my labs got much better. I know some don't advise us eating beets because of their high iron content.
Avatar f tn Before this pregnancy I didn't really care for eating apples. I always felt like they left a weird feeling on my teeth. Now I can't get enough of them! What foods do you LOVE now that you didn't before being pregnant?
Avatar f tn It must be given raw. I purchase it frozen raw. He gets 2 lbs per day. He weights 120lbs. It has an equal calcium phosphorus ratio and very low protein content but is a super food for dogs. It has probiotics, enzymes, amino acids, and vitamins all in their raw natural form as he would get in the wild and I don't know one dog that has ever refused to eat it. I blindly rushed off to get some and he ate it right up. The dogaware.
1666434 tn?1325262350 I kind of like doing intuitional eating... when your body craves something legitimate its for a reason. I even recently bought beets and I have never ate those before, but I have been wanting them. I have no idea how I will prepare them yet, but it's one of those odd cravings. I did not think about the Magnesium benefit thanks for bringing that up! With my age the doctor was warning me about the higher risks of pre-eclampsia so I certainly want to prevent this.
Avatar n tn (not at the same time as the tea though)Dont eat several hours before bed, eating Triggers it, put Gall Bladder in the search engine it will tell you what foods you can eat what you cant eat, low fat is the key.Pain killers make it worse so dont even try them, No Milk ,no choc, no eggs , easy on bread and only whole grain,no sugar or sweetners. Beets and cottage cheese okay also Cucumber, no cabbage no Hotdogs or processed foods.I lived on a diet of Beets for several days.
744422 tn?1312828880 I am taking sovaldi and ribavirin treatment after failing two other treatments I left for a while so I decided to see if I could make some new friends going through the same thing I am. First question; has anyone found that they are eating more since they started treatment I sometimes feel pregnant with all the sweet carvings I have! The side effects are so different from other treatment, its not as hard, but it hard still.
Avatar f tn has anybody had the urge to eat raw beef? i havent done it, but i have been eating really rare steaks an they are sooo good.
Avatar f tn Oh my sweet potato am I starving for a poke bowl (raw fish on a bed of rice for those that didn't know ^^). I've been trying to do some non-usa based research on eating raw fish while pregnant but I'm not feeling 100%. I mean...if people in Japan promote eating raw fish during pregnancy, what makes America so different? My doctor told me she wasn't sure since this pamphlet she gave me didn't say anything about RAW tuna.
