It is very helpful if you
are just starting out to read Carol Sinclair's
book The IBS Low Starch
Diet. She has
AS and IBS. This book explains the reasoning
behind the diet and how and why it
works. It also spells out what you can
and can't eat in detail and has some recipes to
give you ideas.
You
can
test
food
for
starch
using
Iodine
solution
which
can
be
purchased
from
your
local
pharmacy or drug store. Do not use
color free iodine as it will not work. To test:
Put a few drops
on the food and wait to
see if the iodine changes color from amber to dark
brown or black.
If it does
then the food is starchy so do not eat it! Also,
iodine is poisonous so do not eat that
piece of food if it has iodine on it.
When it comes to fruit and vegetables there can be
differences
in starch levels depending
on when the fruit or vegetable was picked, how it
was stored (eg picked
under-ripe and
cold stored), where you are in the world,
varieties grown etc. So it is best to test
with iodine to be sure.
Dairy
products
are
not
starchy
in
themselves,
only
if
starch
has
been
added
(example
is
thickeners
added
into
cottage
cheese
etc). Some
avoid
dairy
products
not
because of
starch
but
because the lactose and
casein protein (milk protein) often cause
problems. They can serve as a
secondary
food
source
for
the
Klebsiella
bacteria.
Some
people
find
they
do
not
make
much
progress on the NSD
until they eliminate dairy along with starch.
