Anyone Doing Scd?

I decided yesterday to go off the SCD because my worst problems are from dairy and salicylates. Most of the food on SCD I cant have like yogurt, almonds, most fruits, some veggies, fruit juice, eggs, etc. Theres just not enough for me to choose from. I do better on rice then most fruits. Grape juice would kill me. I've nevr eliminated my biggest offenders all at once. When I tried doing w/out salicylates I was on dairy and vice versa. Now I'm going to see how I do in the next few weeks w/out any of the things that are triggers for me. I'll see how I do in comparison to how well I did on SCD. I'll keep you guys informed.

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry! A salicylates allergy/intolerance is tough, they are found in almost everything so I know it can't be easy for you. The main thing, I think, is finding things to eat that won't make you sick (or at least not make you the sickest, the lesser of all evils) and if right now that is rice and other things not on the SCD then that is what you have to eat. Good luck and I hope you get yourself normalized, or as close to it as you can, soon.

Anybody that has the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle and wouldn't mind posting the instructions for cooking the legal/allowed dried legumes, I would forever appreciate it!! On the website where it lists the legal/illegal foods it says under kidney beans, or split peas, for example, "must be prepared according to instructions in the book". I am curious as to what these instructions are (soaking over night, pre-boiling??).

Also I am having lots of reflux lately and all of my solutions for this problem are on the illegal list- aloe vera juice, slippery elm, etc. Interesting that the substances known to sooth and calm inflamation of the tissue in the digestive tract are the very things that feed the pathogens. So what do you do? I am not in support of pharmeceutical drugs, a personal decision, but I have to figure out something to give me relief.

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
