I think you are sensitive to a number of foods. The best way to know is to avoid culprits for a week, then add ONE back in at a time and see how you do. Go dairy-free and gluten-free and fruit-free for 1 week, then add back in one food, such as goat kefir, and see how you feel. Aren’t you getting a lot of gluten with WW? That is one of the problems with their program – I believe they still recommend regular breads. Good that you are avoiding their packaged foods!

I would need to know more to help you, but not tolerating butter suggests your gallbladder is not doing it’s job. Eating low fat for too long can make the bile sluggish, then it doesn’t get to where it needs to be for digestion. You may need digestive enzymes or a good bitters formula. Email me.

Hi Linda , I love reading your blogs. You are still right on!
I have been fighting this disease for years. I am pretty GF. I do eat veggies, fish &chicken. Sometimes white pork. ( not often ). I get bloating along with gas which is not controllable when I walk. I have taken pro-biotics, gas pills, never eat dairy..at all. Can not tolerate butter. I would love to e rid of this problem. Any suggestions? I will be back in the states on the weekend.

Hi LInda…you have spoken to me! I’m doing Weight Watchers mainly because it’s easy to do online and makes portion control a snap. Not eating their packaged foods…but as always, I’m plagued with gas, etc. Is lactose free yogurt and lactose free kefir good? Any and all suggestions are welcome in what to eat and what to avoid in regards to gas, bloating, reflux and diarrhea. Hope that you are well…Lisa

I believe Whole Foods does have lard. Make sure it is not the hydrogenated kind. A butcher might be more likely to carry a good quality lard. My preference is a local farmer who raises the old fashioned kind of pigs and either get the rendered lard ready-made or do it myself.

I posted above (#2)to using “the real stuff” and not chemically altered fats. that also includes some palm oil too. My “diet” consists of 60-75% fat, 20-15% proteins and 5-15% carbs (carbs usually less than 50 grams). I hardly ever eat any wheats or grains either. This way of eating has worked well for me and 45# lighter, it’s now my way of life.

Hi Linda,
Love your blogs! How do you find true lard? Is this something you can purchase at Whole Foods? Thank you.

Olive oil is wonderful for the body, but so is variety.

This is hard for people to believe until they experience it! I see if often. The body shuts down overproduction of cholesterol when it gets more through diet. I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you!

I eat real butter, coconut oil, lard and olive oil. My blood lipid numbers are better than they have been in years. It’s the “real stuff” not full of chemicals.
