I went to a Holistic MD yesterday and met with his PA for an hour and a half to start the ball rolling for my terrible gut issues. She suggested I go on the Best Bet Diet. Anyone heard of it? Gluten, dairy GMO free but not vegan, no night shades. I have a list of foods allowed but just don't quite know how to put them together to make something to eat. It is similar to the Paleo diet.

Gentle hugs, Linda

This was developed in Europe, if it is the same one, and I used this 8 years ago to help my husband. It had no gluten, dairy, beans and no peanuts if you were allergic.

You can have lots of soups, salads, stir-fry, pot roast and potatoes, fish/rice/veggie, pineapple ham with sweet potatoes.

Best wishes to you,

I have a friend that follows this diet. she does a lot of juicing of fruit and vegetables -- especially Kale

They also told me no potatoes, tomatoes, night shades, rice.
I'm such a mess! We will be looking into "Leaky Gut". (not literally) LOL

i've never heard of the best bet diet, however i've been gluten free, dairy free, and gmo free and followed the paleo diet since the beginning of the year and it not only eliminated a few symtoms but i feel amazing ! I for years have been eating organic but at my neuro's suggestion have felt even better after going gluten, dairy, and gmo free.

So far, headaches and diarrhea. Hope things improve soon.

What are the food allowed?? I would love to know what they are. Thanks and good luck.

It's basicly the paleo diet. They have also restricted other things for me like nightshades, tomatoes, potatoes plus rice. My gut is such a mess. I am getting worse to begin with but I expect that is just my system adjusting to the change. I am also allowed a berry smoothie made with protein powder for breakfast or an egg if I can tolerate them cooked with greens. So far, blueberries send me running for the bathroom by the next morning. Not pretty. Fruits must be ones that have color all the way through and no melons or grapes because they are too high in sugar.

Gentle hugs, Linda
