Food Combining

Paul ordered a few books online on acidity and alkaline food combining. People who have suffered tremendous amounts of pain have given personal testimonies of their success by following a few simple guidelines. We thought we would give it a whirl since we have already tried just about everything else under the sun. One main helpful hint in this book said to eat fruit in abundance, but just do it alone. Fruit is mostly water and moves pretty fast through the body. The problem is when people eat fruit with other foods. The fruit gets stuck and starts putrefying in the gut causing symptoms. These symptoms can be eliminated by eating fruit alone. I know it won't be life threatening for Paul to try it. He didn't get relief eliminating the fruits that had more fructose anyway. I may give him a glucose pill and go for it today at lunch. It said wait 20 minutes before introducing another food. The book also stated not to mix meats with starches, so forget the meat and potatoes (which is exactly what he was told to eat). His whole diet is pretty acidic right now. Getting the food panel testing will also be beneficial to find out if he is actually "allergic" to anything in particular. He has been feeling better on the antibiotics and probotics, however, the symptoms always return after the he is off the meds. Hopefully, the advice in these books really works.
