I would not eat raw sushi ....... yur immune system is already compromised. Also, the rice is mixed with a load of sugar, thats what makes it sticky.

thanks Robi..that's what I thought. My daughter always eats it and that's what I tell her.
Yes, my immune system is quite compromised as I guess most are on here.
Someone said something about Kefir. I called my health food store and they don't carry it or know about it. Can anyone tell me where to get it?

whole foods or small local grocery that has health foods should carry keifer. It is not an unusual product.

You can get unsweetened yogurt, and unsweetened soy yogurt which is even better as it has no dairy.
You can make sushi without sugar, altho it often has a teeny bit in it, it doesnt always, so ask.
I've made it at home. It is mostly sticky because of the type of rice and how you cook it. When I make it at home I use short grain brown rice and extra water to keep it sticky. Toss it with rice vinegar, and before I had candida a tinny bit of honey or maple syrup--but I have also made it without sweetener just fine, plenty sticky.
A few places locally will make it with brown rice. Most dont use any sweetener. And, there is lots of sushi that does not involve raw fish. It is a very healthy food. Avacadoe, carrots. Macadamia nuts, special japanese veggies....yum...cuccumber is very common....
Im hungry for sushi now. Even if you cant get the exotic veggie combos we have here in santa cruz, you can always get Kappa(cucumber sushi roll) and they will make you special requests from whatever things they normally have around, carrots, avacadoe.

Luvs:
WHAT are you doing baking potatoes? I thought you said you wanted to be healthy.
My wife will not so much as touch a potato. She gives me mashed packaged potatoes because I am a junk food junkie. But ALL she will eat is sweet potatoes since she went on her healthy eating kick last year. She has lost 49 pounds, eating about 6 times a day.'
WHITE potatos have oodles of starch which translates: A type of Sugar.
She eats hardly anything I eat. And she doesn't even have Lyme, or so she says. She eats lots of salads, almost no sweets, but does have to have her dark chocolate every so often. No sugar though.
She had very high blood pressure when she started, and now it is very normal.
I have never had high blood pressure, but my cholesterol is out of sight, I am sure.

At this point, with my lyme and coinfections being so bad and demylinating eyes and nerves, my life is pretty miserable. I can't drive, still see the computer and have been completely numb for almost a year. My parents take care of me. I can't read very much an article or two off the paper. I try to watch carbs but atthis point, when I feel like I can eat, I try to get good stuff down, but I do have a cookie or so. Not much other joy in life or anything that feels good. I am beginning to think I might have wished this on myself- my favorite desert when I was well was Key Lime Pie Next lifetime, I will be addicted to always be well, rich and pretty pie ( just a joke!!!)

I really dont have ANY idea how you guys do this. My LLMD put me on a 'pain free' diet once, no sugars,no carbs which is basicly NO food. He called it the "___" (somebody;s name) pain free diet. In two or three weeks everybody that saw me asked what the heck is wrong with you???And how did you lose so much weight so fast?? I literaly dropped 40 #s in a couple weeks. And I had NO energy. I hit the wall and couldnt do anything cause I didnt have the energy to think about it. And the pain was just as bad, no, worse I think!! I also did the no 'taters, no 'maters, eggplant, peppers, (all nightshade family). now I admit to having extra pain when eatting a tomato sandwich, in season, or a big triple helping of potatoes. But it didnt do as advertised either. Moderation does the same as NONE!!!
I dont drink soda any more, I didnt drink any for a long time, drank two one hot day when I thought it ddnt bother me. I spent two days solid on the living room floor paying for it. Havent had one in years and years since. Havent had a beer in 6 years or more cause of adverse reactions there too.
I dont THINK I have ever had yeast, even tho I do eat sugars and carbs. How do you know you have yeast??? And how do you folk have energy to do anything IF you dont eat sugars or carbs??? Asking because I remain --just don--

Hi MountainMaMa...wow that sushi sure sounds great. i love all those things. Is it difficult to do?
Do you know if there are recipes any place on line or if there are cookbooks to tell you how to do it?
Just seems like a lot of coordinating things and getting it to roll. Or suppose you could just throw it all in a bowl and eat it. Yum!

Yes, you can throw it all in a bowl. Its not that hard tho. dont know where instructions are, someone showed me. They sell kits with a mat and instructions for rolling sushi--you might want to get one. But, try it with the unsweetened brown rice.
Basically, cook short grain brown rice with a little extra water so it is sticky. While its still hot, you put it into a bowl and sprinkle on some brown rice vinegar (this is where others might normally add a little sweetener) and stir.
lay a sheet of Nori down on your mat or kitchen towel. For us amitures, taller than wide orientation. Put thin coating of rice on lower 1/2 or 1/3 of nori. Use your fingers press it down flat and even, not too thick when learning to roll. 1/4 inch ?
above that put a small amount of filling, avacadoe for example. When your starting out, not too much. and leave alot of blank nori above the rice and filling.
Dip your fingers in a glass of water and wet the blank upper part of the nori, all of it that doesnt have rice or filling to hold the seal.
Roll evenly way from you, up. Follow instructions for sushi mat, or just try to tightly roll it.
I dont own a sushi mat actually. If the first ones seem loose, dont slice them. just eat them like a burrito. Its alot cheaper this way if you want to try it.
good luck

Now I won't remember all the things I wanted to comment on....what a brain!!
peanuts....they have a mold on them or in them that can promote yeast growth
don....you have to eat vegetables for the energy!! Did you eat green beans or broccoli or squash or SOMETHING when you did that diet??
I can tell when I have yeast by the itchiness. Sometimes my scalp itches, I get tingling in my face or lips when I eat something sweet.
oh yeah....KEFIR.... Go to www.mercola.com and order his. That's the easiest, though not as cheap as ordering the grains yourself. His method is VERY easy for us brain-dead Lymies!
I wouldn't buy the stuff in the stores.

Do the Celiac diet because of my antiglaidin antibodies
Allergic to soy, potatoes make me hurt more
Read Shoemakers Mold Warrior book, he says NO rice! NO bananas because of amylose but that Diet Coke is OK - I don't think so with neurolyme. I have been eating a lot of rice breads, etc. Now I don't know what to do!
No sugar
Never drank coffee or wine - maybe I should try
