4-part series article on gut health

I am so glad you found PerfectHealthDiet!

I love Paul and Shou-Ching, and have been following them since they were admitted into the Paleo sphere. It's nice that they have always suggested the use of some carbohydrate (while all others were ketogenic) and fermented food.

They are very scientific in their focus - right up your alley!

Here is another good blog on gut health, a strict paleo mom who didn't have the best luck with ketogenic. There is a huge amount of information here:

I started researching diet when our daughter first got sick which lead me to paleo and then PHD. I liked the carb inclusion which I think is necessary for growing bodies.

I initially thought histamines, oxalates, salicylates or a combination thereof could be the cause of her pain symptoms (as many kids on the spectrum have trouble with these types of foods) and spent a lot of time doing food/symptom charting. I was unable to reach consistent healing using food alone, so had to keep looking which lead me to lyme/co.

Paul Jaminet is a very hardworking and smart guy who was shunned by the paleo community for a long time. He is approachable and will answer any questions posted on his blog in a timely fashion. Although presently he seems to be more concerned with running retreats, and they have a new baby which takes up his time as well. His blog roll is good.

I have read DrBG for a long time too, and followed her through her strict paleo phase to the point where she is now. It is because of her that we use the probiotics we do, and cool our starches into resistant form.

Not sure if you know of this site, but Mae-Wan Ho although controversial, posts some cutting edge information:

Her book The Rainbow and the Worm (referring to the birefringent/liquid crystal properties of fruit fly larva) which in addition to many other topics, discusses the EZ (4th phase) of water and how this phase works in the body. Referenced from the work of Gerald Pollock who presented this TEDX talk at the University of Guelph (my old alma mater) 2 years ago. I wish I had known I would have tried to attend:

(some discussion here on the effects of IR radiation on the production of the EZ phase in plant and animal cells)

Yes, modified paleo with resistant starch; a combination of Wahls/PHD with cooked and cooled white rice (organic Lundberg basmati from N California - low arsenic) or white, yellow or sweet potatoes for carbs. We generally eat more vegetables and less fat than PHD suggests.

For breakfast she gets beets, wilted arugula/kale, sweet potato, egg yolk; for school lunch warm left overs from the previous dinner; for dinners organic meat including some organ meat (liver, heart), mixed salad, organic vegetables, resistant starch of some type with coconut oil/grass fed butter/organic olive oil for fat. Fermented vegetables before bed.

Our only concession is soaked organic oatmeal which I use to make muffins/pancakes (along with almond flour, coconut flour and bananas for sweetener) or sometimes oatmeal for breakfast.

This guy has some interesting breakfast suggestions posted at the beginning of his podcasts. He has a young daughter who is being fed right!
