I can answer the chowder question - its a cream-based soup. My favorite is new England clam chowder. I live in California now so I never get to have it (which is probably best, its not exactly low calorie!) xxoo

About 10 years ago, I went on a yeast free diet. It was difficult and had to give up alot of things I liked. I gave up pizza with tomato sauce, cheese and mushrooms, potatoes, chocolate, sugar, bacon and lunch meats, pretty much all processed foods, dairy?, alot of fruits?.. I can't remember exactly but it was a challenge. No bread unless it was yeast free and I remember hunting for it and found a local sour dough bread but pricey. I pretty much ate fresh meats with vegetables. I lost alot of weight and it helped decrease my bloating. A chiro thought it might cure my pain problems and I was willing to try anything. I still had pain problems but I was a lean, mean fighting machine..
...jade
but it did nothing for your pain?? I am already very fit, so I dont need to do this for weight loss purposes...Also, the diet i am on allows bacon and lunch meat but i guess i should cut those out too. She said to try for 2 weeks...should notice difference after that. Yogurt isnt allowed either?!?

girlwithbro- I did not notice any help with my pain. It did help the abdominal bloating as I had IBS back then.
I don't have the diet but it was pretty strict and I was not allowed most processed foods like snack foods, processed meats, cheeses, bread, potatoes, dairy and on and on. I believe the diet did a general detox and I barely had any fat left. I ate mostly fresh meat and fresh vegs. But it was really hard around holidays...jade
no one has had any relief from muscle pain from any diet theyve tried?? I just got injections
omg those hurt like HEll!! Does anyone know if it is normal to feel numb after and will it hurt to massage the area after the injection is given??
