Cinnamon-Sunflower Truffles

If you are following the elimination diet then you're in for a real treat today! I created this raw truffle recipe a few days ago in order to have a quick and nutritious snack ready in the fridge. Just one or two and I am good to go for a few more hours. I have also found that they are a perfect after school snack for my children!
For those of you following me on the Elimination Diet, how are you feeling? Energetic, sick, tired, achy, wonderful? Sometimes during the very beginning of the diet there is a feeling of un-wellness. Don't worry, your body is going through many changes. For one, you are detoxing and you may be experiencing a die-off of unfriendly bacteria in the gut. This is a great time to be consuming plenty of raw sauerkraut. This will help to replenish healthy bacteria in the gut. I have many lacto-fermented recipes in the Get Cultured! chapter of my Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook or you can purchase raw sauerkraut at your local health food store. The truly raw sauerkraut will be found in the refrigerated section.

Thank you so much for all the work you do & information you do on your site for others!!
Being just found out I am celiac I am overwhelmed!! Just doing one day at a time & one recipe at a time, I keep coming back to your site.
I was wondering if your book is available in Canada(British Columbia)?
Also looking for a eating plan for a day, what to eat & how much, if you are able to guide me to such.
I am gluten free, dairy free, & egg free also no almonds, or nutritional yeast.
Thank you again!!
Those look wonderful! I'll have to try them.
I've been doing the elimination diet for 6 days now and I am still experiencing intense stomach cramping and diarrhea. (I had this even before I started the diet, which is why I'm doing it: )
The only thing new that I've added to my diet is quinoa. I've been eating it every morning for breakfast. Is it possible that I am allergic or have a sensitivity to quinoa? Thanks for any advice!! I'm getting rather desperate here . . .
Wow, how terrific are those! Elimination diet or not. I definitely want to try those, Ali.
Thanks,
Shirley
Can you use coconut oil in this recipe instead of olive oil and still be okay for elimination diet?
