I'm starting the diet on Sat. May 5th. I have all the stuff I need and I'm really excited. I also got the cookbook grainless gourmet which has a lot og great recipes.

I'm planning on starting it this summer. Just too much going on right now to give the diet the focus it deserves (although I've managed to get into a good groove with being gluten free now! :) )

I follow the diet and the book you can get at the library. I make the chicken soup every week and take some to church Sunday's- someone always needs it it seems. There is a chrons girl that I took it too and now she makes it and it has helped her.

what is the scd diet?

It is the Specific Carbohydrate diet. The best way to explain it is to go the the website www.breakingtheviciouscycle.com.

Okay so after two days on the SCDiet, I introduced pear sauce. right after that mt stomach started bothering me and got a little gassy. Now my question is did my stomach get like that because I was introducing a new food or what? How am I suppose to introduce a food?

You won't necessarily be able to eat everything on the SCD. Pears have a high fructose:sucrose ratio and that can cause gas/D. I'm just getting over a virus and I can't eat them at the moment. Can you eat bananas? They're a bit of a safer choice. Apricots (cooked + peeled) are another good choice. I usually introduce a new food for 4 days. Then I don't eat it for 2 days. I compare how I felt with and without the food and decide if it's worthwhile keeping the food in my diet at this time.

Thank That explains a lot. What about Applesauce?

Apples are also high in fructose. Some people can tolerate them just fine, some can't. Unfortunately, a lot of this is trial and error. I'm recovering from the Norwalk virus (definitely not what you need with colitis) and for about a week, I ate the intro diet. I have since added well-cooked bananas, spinach, green beans, avocado and tuna. A bit boring, but it covers all the vitamins and I'm off all antidiarrheal meds and mostly pain-free.

Well that's good that you are off your meds. Congrats. I tried green beans yesterday and I was fine . I am going to take things little by little. I realized that I have to do that even though I don't have any serious illness ( I have IBS- Dominant C). Thanks I'm going to try 1/4 of an banana.

Thanks

I rec'd the book yesterday and i'm planning on starting the diet very soon. I made the chicken soup the other and it was fantastic but i did have a funny tummy after, could this be because i didn't cook it long enough? I let it simmer for a few hrs.

How far along the diet is everyone?

I hate to post because everytime I post that things are going well, I get sick again. However, as of tonight, I have had D only once in 4 weeks and that was when I ate at a friend's house. I'm now eating cooked apricots, raw bananas+avocado, chicken, fish (even smoked salmon was ok yay!), and very well-cooked spinach, green beans and carrots. Soon (I hope) I'll be able to eat 10 foods.

That sounds hopeful, only D once in 4 wks and it wasn't really your fault.

I'm going to try and make the cheesecake this week, has anyone made it yet? I'm taking it one step at a time at the moment and then once i know the recipes i'll start the diet properly. Anyway........

I notice that the recipe says:

1/2 cup homemade yogurt or homemade cream cheese***

2 cups uncreamed cottage cheese (dry curd cottage cheese)

but i can't find any dccc in NZ and it says if you find it impossible to obtain dry curd cottage cheese, substitute the cream cheese recipe (drained homemade yoghurt). So do i use 2 1/2 cup of cream chesse or 1/2 cup of yoghurt and 2 cups of cream cheese?

I hope i haven't just ask a really stupid question :ph34r:

No such thing as a stupid question. :P

Can you buy farmer's cheese where you are? That can be substituted for the DCCC. Otherwise, I used 1/2 cup homemade yoghurt and 2 cups drained homemade yoghurt. That gave it a creamier texture.

I quickly found out though, that I can't tolerate even small amounts of dairy. Try the pecanbread website for ideas in which order to introduce foods. Nuts, beans, raw fruits+veggies and dairy are things you may want to leave out for 3-6 months. I started with chicken+carrot soup and then added one food every 4-7 days.

I'm not surprised I got sick at my friend's house. She apparently stuffed the turkey with bread dressing and she said that she had cut off a piece of the breast meat for me before she unstuffed the turkey, but I probably got some of the dressing.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
