I cannot do soy and will not eat cucumbers or mayo, but the rest is sure to give me a boost.<br /><br />Hippocrates said it best--Let food be thy medicine and medicine by thy food.

I tolerate very few grains. I do occasionally feel "off". When I do, I turn to arugula, dandelion greens, and fresh basil for salads with a dressing of apple cider vinegar. I also make a chicken stir fry with spinach, zucchini, fresh garlic and ginger, onions, plus any other veggies I want plus chicken and gluten free soy sauce.<br />The other thing I eat when I feel this way is really good canned fished with homemade mayo, fresh basil, tiny bits of onion and celery with the green salads mentioned earlier. <br />Cucumbers, carrots, apples, berries, pecans, almonds or pine nuts for a snack. <br />No soda, no grains, no dairy except eggs, drink water with lemon and tea and I start to feel better soon.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316345355188384564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-15944618728601368502017-06-25T18:19:01.182-05:002017-06-25T18:19:01.182-05:00EC,

I started eating purslane when I found a great patch among my citrus trees. I harvested them and saved the seed pods to plant in an Earthbox. Now I have them every day.<br /><br />I also eat from landscape plants - katuk and moringa leaves, fruit from cocoplums and seagrapes, petals from citrus blossoms, marigold flowers, cranberry hibiscus leaves, leaves from those chartreuse & dark purple landscape sweet potatoes. All can be grown specifically to eat, but usually just grown for landscape.<br /><br />Like you, I'm careful to only eat what I know has not been sprayed with chemicals or other liquids. <br /><br />You can always check with your local Cooperative Extension Service, Master Gardener or even a really good Garden Center for 'weed' ID.

But, I like bitter greens. I even put a dandelion on exbf's salad. He ate it and thought it was okay. He will eat anything I hand him!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-14600929108679744882017-06-25T04:29:29.627-05:002017-06-25T04:29:29.627-05:00I have eaten dandelion greens in a salad.
