Louise - y're very funny, loved yr post. Sorry, but had to giggle!

Lentils and chick peas, no can't touch. Horrible for me, which meanas my fave, onion Sambur, is out! (Onion sambur and dosha with buffalo yogurt: ahhhhhh Sigh!)

Gosh, the w'end - stay out der kitchen gal... <LOL> Unless y're making those delicious sounding special items, in which case expect an unexpected visitor...

Alinus - sulfites, yes. THE culprit! Just NO way can I touch any sulties. Had some mince meat pies at C'mas - oh-ho, nooooooooooooooo. NOT a good idea. Same problem wih fruit cake, like C'mas cake. Another noooooo.

I can tolerate a few carrots. Don't like bet much though - but excellent for keeping down hypertension so they have found/reported. Tomatoes, gottqa be careful though do like toms. Red meat....careful. Like cottsge cheese, but not available here. Other cheese, Fr. chees, but don't much care for 'most' Fr. cheese - all that squidgy creamy stuff, uggg.

Fish - about one a week. Pountry - full of antibiotics as basically all is intensive reared - tastes of wet cardboard anyways. Tried the rabbit, not bad, but seems the same as poultry. Intensive farmed and full of antibiotics! Can't win over here. The food chain really is compromised - far more so than in the UK. Darnation!

Thanks Alinus. Good info.

Just picked this up in my in-box.

(I don't particularly like this site and mostly delete it, but the occasional heading will catch my attention. This one seemed fairly pertinent...soy, MSG, additives etc refers)

Molly, about the rabbit. unfortunately it's rare and expensive. Also has 0 cholesterol as far as i've heard. I have the chance to buy it from time to time from local farmers (organic feed). Too bad it's so rare.

You can make the cottage cheese on your own if you have the chance to buy from some farmer the real raw milk. It's delicious. I buy it (the dry cottard cheese) also from some local farmer - i know what he feeds into his cows and i've talked to him how to make it in order to let the thing ferment enough to lower at minimum the lactose content.
Ceddar cheese is also about 0 on sugars. I also use it.

OK. 'Think' that I can get raw milk, did see summat about it being available here, from the tabac (!!) about a yar ago. Had to pre-order or summat. Will 'see' IF I can locate 'where'.

Love cheddar cheese. Can get here, v. expensive. Have some UK bought in the freezer! I guard it...haha

Rabbit. 'Suppose' I could raise my own, but...don't thnk I could eat em <LOL> Used to raise rabbits for the pet shop (in the UK) - love rabbits. They are soooo cute. Had some real darling rabbits - and guinea pigs. Miss my littluns.

No way though could I raise to eat.

I think sulfites are usually added to dried fruit, but at "health food" stores sometimes you can get without -- the color is typically quite different, much darker. Sadly most of the sulfite-free dried fruit at my local store still has starch, for instance the dried apricots have lots of starch as well as sugar. So the only ones I can eat are sulfite-free thompson raisins, which look almost as dark as raisins made from purple grapes. At least raisins go really well with home-made lactose-free yogurt

Sorry I'm late to join the party. YES dropping fruit helped me so much. I understood that to mean I have Candidiasis problems in addition to my AS.

Going Vegan with no fruit, that would be difficult.

Good luck to you.

This does not have to be entirely true. Fruits contains...fructose - wich is a high inflamatory sugar, some say more inflamatory than sugar itself. It does not have to be candidiasis in all cases. I cannot say that you are right or wrong about yourself, just that there is just another possibility.

But i support your statement - dropping fruits helped me too in regard to my UC.
