Hello all, I am new here, I was wondering if any one is on the SCD and how they were doing, I've read a few other posts about it and would like it if some one could update. I am trying the diet myself and would be greatfull for any incouragment you can give. Also I would like to ask, if you stay on the dieit long enough and get better, can you go back to eating some safe grains like cron and rice? Thanks againx ;)

Hi and welcome! :)

By now, you may have already seen this thread: Open Original Shared Link

It's usually pretty active and offers support to those doing the SCD. It's the post above yours. I'm sure others will jump in though. Feel free to ask away!! Someone usually knows the answer. ;)

Hello Sophie Jay,

I also just started the SCD Diet- I have been on it for two weeks now and I feel MUCH better! I too have tried to ask some specific questions about foods and some other suggestions on a separate thread and I got the same answer... I was deferred to the HUGE SCD thread.

I tried to read through it, but quite frankly I don't have the time to read through 30+ pages of posts to get the answers to "which bacon brand is scd legaL" etc...

I would be happy to try to answer your questions (if I can) and be there for support purposes as well.

I know that everyones situation is different, so not everybody responds well to the diet as others, but I can tell you that I definitely am having a postiive response. (although I do crave my gluten-free sweets!) :rolleyes:

Take care!

Gina

No need to read thru the entire thread. Just jump in and ask your questions. Come on over and join us.

I haven't started the full diet yet, just trying out recipes and avoiding refined sugars. Just this much has given me enough improvement to be very encouraging. I plan to go full SCD with the intro in November.

One very good place to start is to read the book, Breaking the Vicious cycle by Elaine Gottschall - which is the "textbook" for the diet.

An on-line site that has lots of info is www.pecanbread.com which is written with autistic children in mind, but the basics are the same for everyone.

Thanks artgirl!

My intention in referring you to the thread was to jump in and ask... sorry, sometimes I think great thoughts in my head and can't quite get them across. :blink:

Sorry for the confusion :ph34r:

Hey,

Thanks all for the reply! That thread is just too intimidating and sometimes off subject. I have the book "Breakign the viscious cycle" and found it very interesting. And as previously mentioned in ohter threads- I have read "Danergous Grains"-- I foudn those books profound. The only trouble is that I crave everything I shouldn't have.

But, with the exception of the yogurt (haven't gotten to it yet)- I am on the SCD full throttle and I amd very happy. My weight is starting to stabilize and I feel much better!

Sophie Jay, I wish you the best of luck with this diet. I know that it is hard to stick with, but I feel it is deifnitely worth it. I am one of those people who did well with the gluten-free diet, but now I am doing exceptionally well with the SCD diet.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you want to.

Gina

Please don't feel overwhelmed by the big SCD thread. I have been on the diet for almost 7 months and during that time the thread has twice become so inactive it's fallen to page 3 on the leaky gut list. And I missed having company!! Come and join us.

Don't worry if your questions are redundant. Don't worry about reading the whole thing, although a lot of it is pretty good.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
