The Specific Carbohydrate Diet

Has anyone tried this type of diet in addition to the gluten-free diet. I have been gluten free in July 18th 2003. Another recent biopsy reveled that my villi are still flat. I am waiting for the FULL results next week. I am still iron deficient anemic and I have to get iron infusions every 4 months. Do most people's villi grow back normal after 6 months? One year? When? Also, I recently limited my dairy to one serving per day. I only eat one to two servings of either chicken, egg whites, or fish per week. The rest of my diet consists of soy, rice, vegtables, fruit, nuts, beans, and lentils. I am looking for ANYTHING to try to get my malaborptions issues resolved. The other tests (Fecal fat and Zylose; now the gold standards for if you ARE or ARE not absorbing) showed that I am not absorbing. Let me know if you have any ideas?

At the moment I'm on a blood type diet but I'm also following the guidlines of the SC diet. The one banned food on the SC diet I eat is

brown rice. If I could find a way to sub out the rice for somthing else I would but it's really hard for me to keep on weight without the rice. It's about 50% of my daily cal and I have so many "issues" with fruits, nuts, dariy and veggies I run out of things to eat.

Just to let you know I have Crohns and Celiac Disease and eating like this seems to help. I still have bad days for no apparent reason but overall I feel better.

I've heard it can take up to 2 years for our insides to heal.

Take Care

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
