be avoided because a damaged intestinal wall is unable to produce the final enzymes to break them down. The sugar most compatible with healing a leaky gut is fructose. It does not require digestive enzymes to be absorbed and is not released into the bloodstream as quickly as glucose. FOODS TO AVOID: • Dairy • Grains • Legumes DIET – PHASE 1 (3 WEEKS): Smoothie: Hydrolyzed/pre-digested protein (amino acids) 50%, gentle fibre (psyllium or vege- table) 30%, fructose 20% Whole fruits – as much as you want Non-starchy vegetables – as much as you want Olive oil - 2-3 Tablespoons per day taken with non-starchy vegetables Honey - 1 Tablespoons per day between meals or with fruit Beverages: Purified water, decaf coffee or tea (not herbal), drink half your weight in ounces per day. So, if you weigh 150 lbs, you would drink 75 oz per day Condiments: Lemon or lime juice, vinegar Products should be fresh and preferably organic. Have the largest meal at noon, wait 3 hours after any meal containing olive oil before consuming anything else, wait 30 minutes after fruit or protein formula before consuming a meal with olive oil. • Starchy Vegetables • High-glycemic fruits • Sugars • Alcohol • Nuts and Seeds
If the smoothie causes gas, take 25 billion live cells of probiotics per day. Homeopathics can be taken, but no vitamins, minerals, herbals or glandulars. DIET – PHASE 2 (3 WEEKS): Same as Phase 1 – Except: Smoothie can be combined with fruits or vegeta- bles, but not with fruit juice. Nuts (blanched/without skins), seeds, herbs, spices, eggs, fermented soy, fish and poultry may be consumed. Every time animal protein is eaten, a digestive enzyme with HCl is to be taken. Proteins can be combined with the non-starchy vegetables and olive oil, but not with fruits or the smoothie formula. Vitamins, minerals, herbal and glandular supple- ments are taken during this phase as well. If may take more than the 6 weeks to heal so if symptoms remain then start Phase 1 again and then move to Phase 2 and repeat for up to six months to heal the most stubborn cases. This process is strict and challenging but is needed to heal the small intestine in the shortest time possible. If the program causes hardship, modify it by adding supplements to Phase 1 or by short- ening the time spent on Phase 1 and lengthening the time spent on Phase 2. Dairy, grains, legumes, starches, and disaccharide sugars are the enemies of intestinal healing. If you must consume them, do so infrequently. Your body can more easily handle a large quantity consumed once in awhile, than small amounts daily. Remember a healthier you is a more productive you. Repeat as Needed
