Low Sulfur Diet

This nutritious and colorful sulfur elimination plan is designed to support clients with sulfur sensitivity by helping them identify exactly which foods trigger their symptoms. Following this Low Sulfur Diet for at least one week can be a key step in establishing a diagnosis and finding relief. To make the process easier, the meal plan is strictly corn-free, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, low sulfur, and nut-free, ensuring that common allergens and high-sulfur offenders are removed while keeping your plate vibrant and satisfying. This approach directly supports the insights from your PlexusDx report, particularly for genes like CBS (which manages sulfur metabolism), SUOX (which helps clear sulfites), and CTH (involved in detoxification pathways). By aligning your diet with these genetic predispositions, you can reduce the burden on your body's filtration systems and support better inflammation management and digestive comfort.

The program is scientifically grounded to prevent common nutrient gaps that can occur when eliminating sulfur-rich foods. While a typical low sulfur diet might reduce fiber and antioxidants due to the removal of legumes and certain grains, this plan is carefully balanced to maintain high nutritional value. It focuses on:

High Fiber Intake: Provides up to 40 grams of fiber daily from low-sulfur fruits, vegetables, seeds, and rice to support digestive health and help lower C-reactive protein (CRP).
Antioxidant Protection: Compensates for lost antioxidants by including Vitamin A and E from seeds and oils, carotenoids from carrots and sweet potatoes, and polyphenols from apples and berries.
Immune System Support: Delivers critical minerals like zinc (from salmon and pumpkin seeds) and selenium (from chicken and rice), alongside Vitamin C from bell peppers and lemons.
Bone Health: Addresses potential calcium deficiencies—common when avoiding dairy and soy—by incorporating fortified coconut milk, coconut yogurt, and calcium-rich seeds.
