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.

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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
