hi ella. just within the last 2wks i saw two documentaries on netflix, 'what the health' and 'forks over knives' both scared me into fetal position. both came down hard on meat, especially causing inflammation or metabolic acidosis ...or something like that and both came down especially hard on dairy ..especially casein. really, some people call them propaganda but both expressed scientific data and i feel a need to watch them, again. i don't eat a lot of meat anyway but i like some dairy products ..too much, i'm sure ..and eggs, they didn't spare eggs, either. as mr heston would say, damn them. damn them all to hell.

Ah yes..... THAT movie..... Yes i watched some of it, nearly **** myself! Turned it off ... Had a cry... Decided need to watch it again BUT MUCH LATER LOL need to get over the first 15 minutes and the damage done!

Very eye opening and backed by 'uncompromised' evidence done by very well educated, professionals in their own fields. And the evidence they found made them change their personal beliefs and food choices...must watch for anyone and everyone.
Sometimes we've just got to be brave enough to listen to our bodies!

Whats been hard for me Chrissy is the gut condition i have feeds off fibre and carbs. So in order to starve the bacteria that migrated into the small intestine where it isnt supposed to be i was told (along with tens of thousands of others with IBS) is to eat meat and cooked veg, avoid raw foods, avoid starchy veg, avoid grains, legumes, fruit (due to sugar content)... oh and avoid prebiotic foods - CRAZY HUH!
Can you imagine how hard that has been. To be told you must adhere to a high protein diet in order to starve bacteria off. Then you see movies like this! Devastating. While i LOVE meat and dairy i really do id still be happy to have a high starch diet, full of beans etc and fresh fruit and veg...

Yeah this where i guess it gets really confusing and you never want to go against good advice. I suppose you need to ask yourself is what ive been told working for me and if not change it, the only person that truly knows your body is yourself.
 I have to tell you a long story; i have spent the past year being told i have an inflammatory diease 1st psoriatic arthritis & 'no" said specialist then 'zero negative inflammatory disease' because all signs pointed to inflammation however nothing showed on test but after 18mons of extreme pain it turned out my pelvis is misaligned and longterm this has cause alot of turmoil physically. Now i am stubborn so i rejected every drug offered including antidepressants lol because of my gut issues and refused to take anything until i knew what it was and this is one of the times my stubborness was a benefit imagine how much worst id be. I did natural treatments, went to a top naturopath, mainstream docs & specialist all trying to treat a disease when it was a physical thing. 
I guess am trying to say 'they' dont always have the answers for us and sometimes like my case are so far off course its not funny.
