Wish I had your discipline and creativity. Just diagnosed with IBS so I'm learning more and more about the elimination diet. Going to try the Lentil burgers this weekend.

oh my! this looks delicious!! lentils and quinoa - two of my fave things!

I read about the elimination diet and thought about it when I was having what seemed to be candida flare ups, but I just could never do it! I have no discipline.

And I could never eat pureed food. I remember in university all my roommates were obsessed with eating baby food. I never understood it.

Hi Erika,

I'm glad you're doing so well on the diet! My post-nasal drip never went away, so I didn't figure out what it was. However, I went to a GI yesterday who thinks it's acid reflux. If yours went away though, that's great! That should help you figure out the cause.

Iris - I just found your blog and am so glad I did! I'm on day 10 of the elimination diet and while I've been pretty good at adhering to it, I'll admit I'm speeding it up a bit. The main reason I'm doing it is do diagnose the reason for my chronic congestion. Have you figured out what was causing your post-nasal drip? My congestion is totally gone now! I'm thinking it was dairy, but won't know for sure until I reintroduce it ...

Wow! That looks surprisingly good. I think it would be neat to do an elimination diet but I don't think it would be the best idea right now with finishing school and all that...

I'm hosting February's Go Ahead Honey, It's Gluten Free and I wanted to invite you to participate. The theme is "Tropical Vacation" - I know that I could us one right now! I hope to see your entry! :)

These look awesome! I love your blog btw. I'm also gluten-free and suffer with IBS but I think I've almost got it under control. Good luck with your health journey x

Leaky gut is Dr. Fasano's area of expertise and what his Alba Therapeutics drug is mostly about per my understanding. Also, it's the whole leaky gut concept that makes many say that blood allergy testing gives false readings because you'll basically show allergies to anything that you are eating at the time due to leaky gut. It's not easy figuring it all out, that's for sure. I can't remember how long you've been gluten free, Iris, but it takes a lot of time to heal. I do think that supplements and probiotics have value, but it helps if someone is guiding you on those. Even then, I've had my functional medicine doctor recommend supplements that I did not do well with. Okay, I'm probably depressing you more than helping you ... yikes. Sorry.

Do be easier on yourself for sure. Last, love the burgers ... especially with the avocado slices. I like those far more than ketchup.

2010-02-16T08:47:25.825-05:00

I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you! I'd miss cheese too, most of all. I hope that it really starts to make sense for you more and more as you go along. I already take enzymes, probiotics, Vitamin B supplements, and I'm still having issues. I did a short detox/elimination diet but I didn't seem to notice anything improving when I eliminated everything...so I'm not sure where I stand either! Good luck and give yourself a break - you've got a lot going on!

2010-02-15T22:14:20.959-05:00

I think I read somewhere that leaky gut was almost always present with a food intolerance. At this point I think I need to bypass the medical community and call a plumber.

I had a reaction to gluten-free bread that I made using a mix. I wondered if it was the yeast that got me. I couldn't really see any other ingredient that could be it..but who knows? It is so frustrating when you know that something you are eating is making you sick, but not be able to identify it. For a week after I ate the bread my stomach was so bloated that I longed for maternity clothes!

Please let us know what your doctor says. I'll be interested in plugging my leaky gut, too.

I hope I get to make this.

Good luck finding what works for you! My daughter has frequent headaches and I've wondered it they were food related.

2010-02-15T15:26:44.402-05:00

I know it must be hard, but you're doing great!

Plus, you're an inspiration. I've actually been getting close to trying the elimination diet but I've been pretty afraid of it. (Still am actually). But every new experience and recipe you post about puts me one small step closer to trying it. (I'm also a 'former' binge eater-although I don't think i've completely shaken that addiction yet. And the symptoms you listed that you had even after going gluten free sounds very much like what I'm going through. So I'm always really curious to see what you've discovered.)

Also, it sounds like a 'break' in your case is well deserved! Thanks for always being so honest on your blog.

Oh we have done the elimination diet too. Now we eat a high raw vegan diet plus gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free, peanut-free, and sugar-free. We do not look at is a bad, we actually enjoy eating this way now. We feel better, not healed yet but getting better. There is nothing wrong with pureeing your foods, especially when you are trying to heal.

I've seen lots of lentil burger recipes, but this one looks the easiest, with the simplest ingredients. Thanks!

Congrats on your elimination diet. You are doing awesome. I love what you said on my blog, and here, about stressing over food. Stress only makes digestion worse. If you are stressed enough, a bowl of rice will make you sick. And we just so happen to live in a world that makes it impossible to live stress free. Perhaps that's a good enough goal in itself? Living stress free?

Ultimately, we eat better than 99% of the people on the planet. Think about all the celiacs out there who are eating McD's every day?! That's something to remember whenever you feel down about your tummy. You are doing your body good. Eventually you will figure it out. :)
