Hi Shelley, how are you.
What can i do to gain about 3 poinds without adding bad foods to my diet. When i started taking birth contril pills i lost about 10 poinds and now 107 poinds (i'm 5'3). And it's been hard for me to gain. Thank you.

Hiya Azzira! :)
Gaining weight without re-clogging your system IS a challenge. For me to direct you properly, I need to know what your Dosha is and preferably your blood type too, if you know it. If you don't, tell me your genetic background, like nationality.
Read the posts under yours on this page - lots of info on rebuilding body mass. :)
Are you currently challenged by candida? Or was it just IBS type things?
One thing I can recommend to everyone is the Kichadi recipe, nut butters, and this protein drink, but you HAVE to take pancreatic enzymes with it:
6 oz Vanilla Rice Milk
2 raw eggs - organic free range!
1 tblsp of lecithin
1 tblsp of flax seed oil or Udo's PRime
cinamon to taste
extra vanilla to taste if desired
pancreatic enzymes
Add 10 almonds and blend away. Should be blanched (or with shell) raw, soaked in water overnight.
You should be able to drink this in between your main meals without imbalancing yourself. :)
Sweet potatos are very balanced, a perfect food, and good for maintaining or gaining body mass. Find the yellow ones, not the dark orange yams, altho those are okay too.
Always eat at least one meal a day that is 3 to 1 ratio of basmati rice to beans - mung beans are tasty, as are aduki. Choose the bean by taste or Dosha. Spice it to balance your dosha and digestion both.
Drink more water. For some reason, being really well hydrated can help you gain weight, especially if it's cool but that's risky as it may reduce your power of digestion. If you can find a low-salt organic veggie or chicken broth, drink that too.
If your weight loss is connected to adrenal exhaustion or liver exhaustion and hormonal issues, consider taking an herbal compound of Gotu Kola and Licorice. Solaray has one or maybe Nature's Way.
Every night, drink the tea-less Chai drink with extra honey and almonds added (see Increasign Digestive Power Notes page 13).
Hope that helps! :)

This is a reply to # 381,219Are you stage one or stage two candida? stage one meaning you have evidence of candida overgrowth (spit test, thrush, vaginitis/jock itch, etc.) and stage two means the candida has subsided but the symptoms have not thanks to leaky gut.
If you've been on a total anti-candida diet of no Sugar no dairy no fruit, then chances are good you're in stage 2 and can start introducing other things. That means the sweet potatos and milk, so long as it's cooked, is okay for you.
If you're still stage one, cancel the milk even if cooked. Rice milk is okay and may stand up to cooking, I haven't tried but a CureZone member told me it did okay. :)
All my other rec's should be fine. In fact, you can probably have the protein shake 2x a day, just be sure to add plenty of cinamon and perhaps nutmeg and cardomom or ginger too.
So cool you're in Africa! Are you used to cooking rice and lentils and other grains (quinoa) with cumin and other heating spices? curries? Add raisens, nuts and enjoy!!! :) (one of my favorite, simple spice blends is 1 tablespoon each ground cumin and powdered ginger, 1 teaspoon paprika - the hot kind, not sweet kind.)
Do not ever eat bananas. Bad for Vata and Type O's both.
Feel free to eat 4-6 oz of protein 4-5 days a week, even in addition to the eggs. Just be sure that they are cooked *simply.* Fish can be steamed, stir-fried or broiled. Poultry can be roasted, baked, or breasts can be sauteed - no breading or deep frying. Beef can be stir-fried or broiled. When you eat meat, eat it alone or with salad greens, nothing else. Rice is okay too, but no bread, no starchy veggies, and no following with dessert.
do not eat meat after 7:00 pm. Best to eat it at mid-day.
Drink plenty of spicy teas with ginger, cinamon, cardomom, licorice, peppermint, etc. NO black teas. NO coffee. NO milk.
Hope that helps!

Wheat is not ideal for candida people. If you haven't eaten a lot of wheat in the past (I don't know if it's as much a staple there in Africa as it is here, here most people eat at least 2 slices of bread a day on average) then you can go for it.
Bread can be an issue because of the fats/oils used. once cooked, they are often congesting. And ironically enough, if you're allergic to wheat or gluten, then WHITE bread is actually better for you than whole grain wheat!
What I mean by whole grains is the real thing not just in powdered/flour form but coarser, the same way that oatmeal is still whole. You know, like porridge?
There are fantastic hot cerals that are coarsley ground, whole grains rather than hulled. Bob's Red Mill and the Lundbergh's, who specialize with brown and wild rices, are my personal faves.
Before there was fast food, the common peoples ate porridge for breakfast and lunch and dinner. They supplemented this diet with whatever veggies and fruits were in season, fresh or dried meat when they could. the bulk of the porridge was flax, not wheat, because flax can grow anywhere, it's practically a weed.- Re: Whole Grain Porridge azzira

This is a reply to # 381,280Have you ever tested whole grain porridge? Where can i get it. Would you cook it with water or milk? Thank you again Shelley.

This is a reply to # 381,300The porridge that I like is Bob's Red Mill cereals. He has a 5 grain that has wheat in it but it doesn't bother me. He has only one wheat-less mix I think. you just cook it with water and then add rice milk, flax seed oil, cinamon, and enjoy! :)

This is a reply to # 381,302white rice isn't fantastic, but in small amounts it's okay. Brown rice is great because it's rarely an allergan, but it is heavy and very slow to digest, which is bad. That's why I recommend brown rice cereal, since in powdered form it movees thru quite quickly. Basmati rice, brown or white, tends to be very balanced for people.

Hi,
I just read your post and was wondering if you could tell me why white bread is tolerated better then whole grain.
I have gluten intolerance and prior to discovering this I noticed that my 'healthy' whole wheat bread made me cramp but when I 'cheated' and ate my hubbys white bread I didn't cramp.
Now that I have done a lot of healing, I also tolerate sprouted and fermented grains/breads. But even a bite of whole grain or partial whole grain will make me cramp for days.

This is a reply to # 384,720Gluten is a part of wheat protein, and is highest in the kernal of the wheat, not the chaff. White bread has very little kernal in it, very little real wheat, so very little gluten.
