Coconut Roll-Out Cookies for The Body Ecology Diet

Roll-Out Coconut Cookie

Tara Carpenter, NC.

Nutritional support for yeast, bacterial, and viral overgrowth-related health conditions with The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

Most coconut flour cookies I find taste more like cardboard than cookie and I was reluctant to create a recipe for one, yet after being asked to create one for people healing on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) I decided to give things a go 🙂

I am pleasantly surprised how they turned out; they roll like a dream and are as moist as I could get without the dough falling apart. I hope you enjoy this versatile cookie for times when you must avoid refined sugar, gluten, and yeast. This cookie includes eggs. If you can’t eat eggs, then try my egg-free recipe for almond cookies.

Doing a Home Colonic

Tara Carpenter, NC.

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

My first colonic was in a tiny, dorm bathroom with friends in college while experimenting with “water fasting”. I did not do one again until I was 30 and diagnosed with systemic yeast overgrowth. I felt stumped on how to heal such a stubborn health condition.

The relentless bloating, acne, and fatigue motivated me forward as I wanted to feel better and when a friend lent me a book called The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.), written by Donna Gates, I knew this was the answer to my prayer as a chapter was dedicated to how colon cleansing can bring balance to yeast, bacterial, or viral overgrowth.

When a person adheres to the healing foods promoted in this diet the body goes into a cleansing mode and is triggered to “dump” pathogens (i.e., viruses, bacteria, yeast) into intestines. 

Colonics help to keep things moving along ….

The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.): Overview

The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.): Overview

Tara Carpenter, NC.

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

The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D) is a way of eating designed by Donna Gates to address yeast, bacterial, and viral overgrowth in body. The main purpose of this diet is to boost immunity by alkalizing blood and restoring inner ecosystem to naturally support body in being a self-healing organism.

The goal is not to eradicate yeast, bacteria, or viruses. That is impossible and less than ideal. Instead, the focus is on restoring body strength, so all parts are coming together and working in harmony. A true symphony!

I have followed many different eating regimes and am the most impressed with the profoundness of B.E.D.; it incorporates principles that worked for me in the past (Blood Type Diet, Food Combining, Anti-Candida Diet), yet takes things one step further. I consider B.E.D. a master eating plan for impeccable health. ~ Nancy

B.E.D. Recipe The Body Ecology Diet

Waffle Toppers on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.)

It is easy to reach for a bottle of maple syrup to drizzle on waffles. But what if you are following The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) to heal a yeast, parasitic, or viral overgrowth? A gut healing protocol that excludes sugar, including maple syrup. You may be pleasantly surprised that you can eat waffles on the diet…I am here to tell you, that you can!

Here is my recipe for buckwheat waffles (or pancakes) and below are fun ways to top them…

Instead of serving up your waffles with a side of bacon think about Donna Gates’ food combining principle to help your belly feel better and work better. My buckwheat waffles are made with grain and so they combine best with other starches (squash, millet), plant-based proteins (hemp seeds, almonds), fats (cultured butter, coconut oil), and any kind of vegetable.

We tend to add a dollop of unsalted cultured vegetables along with a drizzle of dressing to our breakfast plate. Who knew eating waffles could be so colorful and healing?!

Do you have a creative way of topping your waffles to share?

 “I’m so thankful towards you every time I make your waffles! For all of your time and efforts in putting together this AMAZING-recipe-i-have-been-searching-for-for-years-waffles!! My family who has a strong opinion about waffles even loves them!!” ~ N.B. Chapel Hill, NC.
