I am seeing healing from my leaky gut. Going oil free and eating whole food plant based, following the Starch Smart way, has helped so much! I had developed allergies to citrus, spinach, tomatoes, nutritional yeast flakes, and a few other foods. But all these have disappaeared! My sensitivity to gluten is still there but it has decreased. I trust that as I lose weight and keep eating this way, I'll have total healing!

I get confused by conflicting advice. It seems that maybe there are multiple ways to the same success if they are based on a lot of greens and veggies. I have heard about Dr Brooke Goldner's protocol. This involves a lot of smoothies, raw veggies and large amounts of flaxseed and chia seeds. This seems so different from each other and I worry about the large amount of the seeds. Has anyone else had experience with this protocol?

I get confused about advise to handle leaky gut. I love Dr. Carney's recommended meal plan for the ability to keep me satiated. The problem is that I think legumes and yams may be foods I don't tolerate well. Should I just go with them in a low fat vegan high nutrient diet? Will my body heal? Otherwise I feel I am eliminating some much needed foods. I also don't eat nuts but do eat chia and flax seeds.
