That pretty much fits what still works for me now. I misspoke; I should have identified the upper digestive tract for those more-complex sugars, not the lowest parts (that is, the colon). I still do not have values for arabinose in foods, I am glad still I found this sensitivity in myself. It also c...

I avoided fruits high in sucrose too as arabinose inhibits sucrose digestion in the lower intestinal tract. My understanding of how this functioned in me is that sucrose digestion was already impaired from the intestinal lining being so compromised (the source on this is Canadian Elaine Gottschall a...

Wow; thank you; very good to know... I could not tell if arabinose was something that could be refined out of foods, but simply was not available to the body to cause a problem. Yes, I do not have numbers yet; just my symptoms (which told me which foods were not fine) plus the beginning list of food...

You can buy VacSy containers (by Zepter International) for sealing foods in a vacuum and storing them; I have this, you have the dehydrator; together this would be the complete kitchen!

I see... I have another question; let's see if I understand: If you add more carbohydrates to a fat-based ketogenic diet-- which would balance this more in terms of fat/sugar-- would you then be moving toward; at the brink of coming out of ketosis? That is, by pushing up the carbohydrate ratio in fa...

This refers to the same in pear and apple concentrates: http://www.springerlink.com/content/n87w3q06p5553m70/ Most frozen and bottled commercial juices in the U.S. are reconstituted with added 'fiber' or concentrated flavors in the form of apple, pear, or other pulps; I do not know if they are someh...

This refers to arabinose in apples:

do you know, it had dawned on me that though artificially-supplemented diets with artificially-refined arabinose have been referred to in the experimental literature, in fact my problem may have been that I took enzymes with pectinase, hemicellulase, etc. throughout treatment for this, and this may ...

In fact your response is what I thought, too.... The 'science' of what the poster is saying seems bizarre; I did not understand how this could be so! (especially with regard to the liver....)

Dear HappyFace, I hope you are trying things and finding what suits your own body best.... I wanted to add one thing that is somewhat esoteric; it is that fruits that are high in arabinose, a type of sugar, were disastrous to my system... There is quite a lot written on the Web about this in terms o...

Wow; the composing process somehow deleted my lengthy header for the last message-- The above is from a blog for the US website Toothsoap.com, a natural-foods site that recommends dental care that centers on brushing the teeth with plain soap. The site comments on other natural-food trends and produ...

.... The wildnerness family naturals agave is made by Nekutli. "Traditionally, Agave syrup is a very dark, thick liquid with a characteristic smell and strong flavor. It is dark because, during the evaporating process, some of the sugars caramelize and Maillard reactions occur causing a cross-linkin...

Is this scientifically sound? (in re: fructose vs. levulose):

I wished to add that the low residue/heavy fats part seemed to be a response to really ripping up the system with psyllium. In a way, the psyllium is not antagonizing the lining of the intestine harshly; it is supposed to be contacting the candida layer above that, which is already hurting the syste...

Ah; the devil is in the details.... JUICING- I juiced the grapes myself. I found it easiest to buy extremely large grapes in Chinatown and actually peel them before juicing them (I read about someone else doing this on the board before-- with regular table grapes-- and was struck by the amount of wo...
