Camping with Kids on The Body Ecology Diet

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Originally published on June 3, 2010

Holistic nutrition for people on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

I wasn’t planning to camp this summer. My plate is full enough with work, graduate school, moving through a divorce, and raising my boys who are 2 and 7 years old. Most days, I can barely see straight! Yet, I find the flow and direction of life tends to take a turn for what is best for the whole in times of overload. So, when I woke one morning to hear a quiet voice inside me say “take the kids camping by the ocean”, I said yes.

Recipe The Body Ecology Diet

Avocado-Lime Dressing

This vibrant dressing is reminiscent of a Caesar without the anchovies; pure decadence whipped into a rich, creamy texture to soothe the soul!

A good dressing is a great way to spice things up on a healing protocol like Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.). Keeping a variety of condiments on hand turns the trick on hitting that bullseye day in and day out.

Journal Entry on September 12th 2010

When you have digestive upset, you know how difficult it can be to track down foods that bother you most. This is especially true when you have yeast overgrowth (Candida). My experience entailed keeping a ‘food journal’, doing rotation diets, and of course elimination diets.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (Morning Sickness X’s 100)

Tara Carpenter, NC., CPES.

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a rare condition affecting 0.5–2.0% of pregnant women. Yes! A weird and hard-to-spell name that I think better called ‘living hell’. The word broken down … “hyper” = over excessive, severe, “emesis” = medical lingo for vomiting and “gravidarum” = pregnancy. Put together, the word means severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

2 Comments on What I Ate During Severe Morning Sickness

I’ve had severe morning sickness (a.k.a. hyperemesis gravidarum, HG) a total of three times. During those times, no one was able to cook in the kitchen because the smell made me vomit. We ate take-out or processed food. I could only eat food that was fresh and made somewhere else. I couldn’t eat anything unless I craved it in every cell of my being. It had to be the very exact thing, otherwise I couldn’t fathom eating.

This visual tool can help you master the art of food combining on Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D) and shows what foods are stage 1 on this health and healing protocol for naturally overcoming yeast, bacterial, or viral overgrowth.

I created this chart while healing systemic yeast overgrowth with B.E.D and noticed the food helped me feel better AND the ways I ‘combined’ them helped even more. I couldn’t believe how quickly my issues improved by food combining at every meal. I went from bloated looking 4 months pregnant to having a flat, toned belly without embarrassing gas.
