Hello  – have you seen the “Food” pillar in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap? If you don’t have the time, I encourage you to start here with my VPF+C principle. This will help give you a framework to work with in terms of making balanced macro-nutrient meals.

Given the sensitivity of your gut and gastroparesis, I would not recommend consuming so many grains. In fact, removing grains altogether would probably give you some much needed relief.

For your proteins, given the H Pylori overgrowth and likelihood of hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), it’s normal to feel unable to digest animal proteins. Instead, consider choosing lighter proteins like fish, seafood, bivalves (clams, oysters, mussels, scallops), and eggs (chicken, quail if available). Vegetarian proteins like organic tofu can also work. Rotate these within the VPF+C principle.

Whatever you make – try to puree them to remove the strain on the digestive system. Please feel free to use and upload your 3-day food journal once you begin to adopt this type of diet and we’ll be happy to provide more feedback.

 eliminating grains (including oats and rice) temporarily will likely bring you relief. Replace those starches with root vegetables (see handout for list) – 1 cup per day given the strong dysbiosis and overgrowths. Focus on VPF first and foremost, choosing the lighter proteins for lunch and dinner (puree them) and supplementing breakfast with a smoothie/shake since you find it difficult to consume food.

I’ve recommended the Apex Energetics ClearVite-CHC (chocolate flavored) to clients who need amino acid support. Unfortunately, collagen is not a complete protein. 

If you can tolerate eggs, it’s an excellent protein source. The less cooked the better, so soft boil is better than hardboiled. Rotate your protein sources.

Cook & steam your vegetables to help with the gut healing phase (fiber is quite harsh on the gut lining). As you get better, you can start to include more raw foods.

 

Yes, that’s the ClearVite I was referring to.

Hemp protein is also another option if you’d like to alternate.

For smoothies, I also like to follow my VPF principle. So perhaps frozen cauliflower, cucumber, lettuce (for the veggies), 1/2 an apple for sweetness, flaxseeds for healthy fats, and your protein powder of choice (or eat a protein with it on the side). The liquid can be bone broth for additional gut healing power or coconut kefir for some probiotic action (if it doesn’t bother you).

Lost of options and variations when following the VPF principle.

As for oxalates, you’ll go mad and feel very restricted if you add this to your list of restrictions as well. Oxalates are high because of the yeast overgrowth. Stop feeding the yeast (eliminate sugar/flour), heal your gut, and strengthen your immune system; this strategy will help reduce endogenous oxalate production.

Hi  – just wanted to let you know that my account with Amrita Nutrition is now active. We will update this info in the Resources section of the library, but just wanted to share it with you since you were unable to order through Amrita before.

My practitioner code for the UK store on Amrita is: JXORVO

Hope this helps!
