A Decade of Determination Pays Off
This will be my shortest blog.
After a decade on The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, I am once again able to eat occasional moderate amounts of restricted sweets and starches with no apparent consequences. Since my celiac disease was never formally diagnosed, I cannot claim it is curable or was cured but it is now six weeks since I resumed eating foods I have not had in ten years as well as foods purported to be cross reactive with Latex Allergy.
Ultimately I decided to be very cautious and not push the envelope since the SCD has been enjoyable and a great asset to regaining some resistance to chemical sensitivities.
I also developed a real enjoyment of SCD recipes and still prefer many of them over their conventional counterparts.
I am not suggesting others digress from their gluten free diets, just reporting what has happened in my case so far.
Scott has suggested I monitor my maintenance with periodic blood tests for anti bodies and I plan to investigate that as it makes good sense.
Finally, I do feel it is easier to maintain a proper weight with SCD although it is not a weight control program.
