I can't afford the book but I think this diet would really help me. I am in so much pain all the time. What can I eat during the intro and then what about after? I went to some of the website but I wasn't getting a clear answer, any help I could get would be really great. Thank you so much! Oh I noticed it said eat dairy, but I think i have problem with dairy but I don't know for sure, any ideas or will this diet help?

Goin Tribal,

I just posted the links for you on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet thread.

The diet does not allow all dairy. Its very limited. The links I posted give specific info on what to eat.

jenvan Collaborator

Forgive me if I'm being redundant--I'm not sure what you've posted Rachel, but here are some links below. The first is the legal/illegal food list for the SCD. The other 2 are info/recipes/sites etc. There are some good SCD veterans who can answer your questions in the future too. Good luck!

I'm going to start this soon myself. I've seen a lot of improvement since going gluten and casein free, but have still had problems with my digestion/intestines. I've had a slew of tests run, but they've all come back negative so far (except for the one for blood in my stool). My doctor has scheduled me for a colonoscopy because she thinks I may have an inflamed colon (not sure what exactly she called it), so I think this diet would really help. I did buy the book yesterday (at my local Barnes & Noble for $20.65), I haven't actually read the diet part yet though. Maybe your local library would have the book??

I've brought the book to work with me today, so if it's slow I should be able to get to the intro part...I'll post back anything I can find if someone doesn't post before then.

Nancym Enthusiast

Can you check out the book from the library? Failing that, the web sites are pretty good.

Think really, really cooked and mush carrots with simple, plain burgers, chicken... ALso, homemade yogurt ASAP.

danikali Enthusiast

okay everyone, I'm going to get this book and begin this diet myself. I'm exhausted of trying to figure things out on my own and find doctors who can really help me. So what is the name and author? I'm going to run to Borders on my lunch break.

Wait, is it called, 'Breaking the vicious cycle' by Elaine Gottschall?

Thanks!

Shoot, nevermind. Answered my own question. Okay ladies, I'm going to join you on this!

And, here is a link to her website with lots of info:

Thanks! I'm already looking at it and wondering, okay, I can't have breakfast, or lunch.......

I can't have eggs or dairy, what do we do then?

dlp252 Apprentice

Yep, breakfast is my problem too. I can eat eggs, but I just don't like them much, so I'm going to try to make the coconut milk yogurt. Salton makes an inexpensive yogurt maker and it sounds easy enough to to. The hardest thing is the yogurt starter, but there is supposedly a dairy-free yogurt starter online. I'm also going to look at Whole Foods to see if they might carry one.

what is coconut milk made out of ? no casein, right? Where did you get the recipe? It's in the book? hahah, i know so many questions, I just need to buy the book I guess first. what if I just had the juice and water for breakfast the first few days, would that not work? I don't have too much time to make yogart right now and I want to start this A.S.A.P.

dlp252 Apprentice

Actually this is not in the book...Nancy kind of made this up...here's a link to the instructions:

Coconut milk doesn't have casein...but you would need to look for one that doesn't have added ingredients, especially no sugar.

ETA: You could try some cooked fruit...don't ask me how, lol. I am no cook! :) Or in the book she mentions mashed banana (needs to be ripe with lots of little brown spots).

Nancym Enthusiast

Coconut milk is coconut meat and water, that is all. I get a brand that is great from Trader Joe's.

Thanks so much! I'm on my way out to get the book now! I'm excited! It seems like it really works and that makes my day!!

Do I have to make my own yoghurt? Can I just buy Dannons plain natural yoghurt? I am not sure if I can have milk products but I'm wondering if the lack of the different bacteria is what is causing me so much trouble. I am a full time college student I don't have time to make yoghurt :( help!

No I don't think the store kind is okay, but I haven't actually started the diet yet, just bought the book a couple of days ago. Elaine's reasoning is that the store bought kind hasn't been fermented long enough. According to her it needs to ferment for at least 24 hours to make sure all the lactose is digested by the bacterial culture so that your intestine's cells don't have to.

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Homemade yogurt is really pretty easy to make. I did it alot last year and it wasnt as much of a hassle as I thought it'd be. You cant eat store bought yogurt on this diet but you can use it as a starter for your homemade yogurt.

neither do I , but I just read the safe and unsafe list and you can't have any commercial yogart! Annoying right? Well I can't have any dairy, and I can't make mine either because I work full time and go to school full time. So I'm going to just have juice and fish for the next few days until I get the book.

Nancym Enthusiast

Be forewarned that SCD requires you pretty much prepare all your foods from scratch. It is definitely time consuming! I just do all my cooking on the weekends.

danikali Enthusiast

That's what I do too. So for the next few days, because of time and other intolerances, I'm going to live on broilded fish, water and welches grape juice. Do you guys think this will do until I can get the stuff for the yogart and make it? I don't have to have eggs and dairy right? Also, I have ground turkey meat. Can I eat that? I don't have my book yet. It should be coming in the mail by next Tuesday so I'll have to do without it and with your help for the next few days.

Yes, meat is fine. Eggs too. The thing to avoid is starches and anything with added sugar or corn syrup. The grape juice is all right as long as it has nothing added to it like sugar of high fructose corn syrup.

Nancym Enthusiast

I love this explanation of the SCD diet.

      Are you a super sensitive celiac? I shouldn't think that would be an issue for the average celiac. I would be more concerned about cross contamination in cooking areas.
    • Rebeccaj
      Hi i was wondering how do you guys go about your family being normal and you the only person that is celiac? like Airbourne when they cook but your gluten free? 
    • Wends
      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake
