Is it ok to combine corn tortilla chips with fresh tomato salsa? If so, how long would it take to digest this meal? Thank you.

In reply to Stacey.

I’ve always been taught that oil is considered neutral since we use such a small amount in most meals. There are far more complicated food combining rules out there, though! I prefer to make it as simplified as possible to prevent any feelings of overwhelm.

I had forgotten about this program and I was wondering if the quick start guide was still available. I boughr this book and the recipe book but I have lost it. I suffered so long with all the symptoms you mentioned. I highly recommend this program. I have been off this program and all the pain has returned.

Food combining for those with bodies in an autoimmune state. I coached someone who had diagnosed Graves disease but was on medication and due to fear remained on them during the diet recommended by her GD nutritionist. Now her weight gain is a worry and her energy never returned and headaches stayed. What changed was she nolonger ate and purged what she ate within 20 minutes it went in then back out unchanged. Now it can take days to release. She never changed her diet in 4 years no processed foods. I remember I had done FC diet in the 90s for IBS and it took 18 months to fully heal. Is there a way to structure this for some who already has healthy food but now make it work to counter the imbalance that’s seems to have stayed just went to the opposite way now?

I sometimes use store bought animal protien substitutes. How do I use them? Are they combined with starches or proteins?

Hi Megan,
I really love leafy greens with acid fruits (pomelo/grapefruit/oranges) or apples/pairs, chia, and nuts.
But can’t find anywhere a defined answer if it’s ok to combine those.
If it’s uncombinable can you suggest something similar that works?
What do you think?

Thanks in advance

Hello there.
Thank you for your charts.
I am a vegetarian (who doesn’t eat nuts or tofu) … who wants to go back to food combining after many years away. I normally eat fruit in the afternoons as my first meal of the day. Then another meal later.
May I ask:
How does drinking cider vinegar affect either a protein or starch meal — meaning — does it interfere with the digestion of either category.
I normally have a couple of hot chocolate drinks in the afternoon made with almond milk and 10g of cocoa powder. Would this class as a starchy drink?
Thank you kindly for your help and advice.
