    I too have trouble with all vitamins, medications and cheese. I have been doing research about "tannin" allergy and it seems to fit me. Tannin is a plant phyenol (my spelling is poor) I noted that cellulose is made from plants. I have trouble with fruit juices, (high in tannin) cheese (ananto - tannin) Tea, coffee, wine, grapes, berries, black beans, soybeans...

    I have been reading through this topic and I think I know why I react to coffee, tea and chocolate. It's tannin! I looked up the foods that contain tannin and they are all ones that give me trouble. Most wines (Chablis and Pino Grigio are ok) Beer Coffee, Tea, Walnuts, pecans, and almonds (blanched almonds and skinless peanuts are okay) strawberries...

    I have been on the diet for 15 months. I follow the diet closely. I still have trouble with dry eyes if I accidently eat something that is "illegal". I used to think eyemake up caused my eye problems, but I have discovered it has something to do with food. I think the dry eyes and dry mouth comes from a number of different foods, grains one of them, but...

    I haven't been able to find unpasturized honey. I just buy the more expensive honey at the store that is harvested just across the river - local honey producer. I don't buy the cheap wal-mart kind. Just be careful - too much honey can give you bad reactions at first. I ate the yogurt plain the first couple of days. When I had no reaction I celebrated...

    I read the information on the links you posted. It looks like a good option. For now I'm going to continue the path I'm on. I'm doing very well on this diet and actually enjoy the food. For the first time in my life, I like to cook. Food is no longer my enemy, but my therapy. I hope the diet works for you too.

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I read somewhere they way to determine if bad reactions to yogurt is die off or intolerance is to freeze some yogurt. Freezing kills the cultures. If one reacts to the frozen yogurt - it's an intolerance. If one doesn't - it's die off. And the yogurt it doing it's job getting rid of the unwanted "beasties" as you call them! I eat 2 to 4 servings every...

    I believe you are on to something!!! My whole theory (scientific or not) is to eliminate foods that cause a immune reaction. In turn the healing of the intestine begins and hence the immune system is strengthened and attacks the "correct" invaders. For me it is working. I know what foods are problems and avoid them altogether. It takes time and energy...

    I wasn't diagnosed with sjogren's - I gave up on Dr's. as they could only tell me what was wrong, not what was causing it, or how to fix it. I had terribly dry eyes, mouth, hair and skin. Eyes were red and scratchy and hurt. Mouth was always dry with NO saliva. It was awful. I went on the SCDiet about 16 months ago and all these symptoms are gone. My sister...

    I've been gluten free for about 3 years. I wasn't heavy before, 5'4" and 135 lbs. Since going gluten free and having to eliminate lots of food (dairy, grains, sugar etc.) I am under 120. I too get rude comments. I don't like how I look at all. My legs are like tooth picks. I eat a lot! Or I think I do. I have a lot of trouble with carbs - so stick with fruits...

    I thought they were NOT gluten free? Are they?
  13. chatycady
    I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly, but you will get better. Just think positive and start working on healing your digestive system. Intolerance are common, but don't have to be lifelong. Cure your tummy and you will be able to eat normal foods again. (gluten free of course) Probiotics, vitamins, enzymes and good food - fresh fruits and veggies and...

    Yes. I can't eat any of the gluten free products that contain grains, starch, sugar, etc. Too difficult for me to digest. I follow the SCdiet and am doing well. I hope you get better too.

    I just purchased some digestive enzymes on line. (SCD legal) I follow the diet closely and eat yogurt everyday. I am wondering if anyone else here is using them and what I can expect. I realize we all respond differently. Will I be able to eat more legal foods? I ordered them because I am pretty thin and need to add some carbs to either gain a couple pounds...

    Ferrous Gluconate - it's a little easier on the stomach. Iron supplements are very hard on a celiac stomach, it irrates instead of heals. If it were me I would avoid suplements and would eat more red meat (grill some hamburgers) and make a liver pate'. Drink orange juice or eat an apple with your meat or iron supplement so it's easily absorbed.

    Yes, I get it at the grocery store, but I'm thinking of ordering off of amazon as it's cheaper and they will sned it to me on a regular basis.

    I have a yogourmet and love it. I would suggest if you decide to buy it, get the second conatiner too. I did and make yogurt about every other day! Good luck with your selection.

    Are your B-12 levels okay?
  20. chatycady
    I hope you don't think I'm rude, but what you ate doesn't sound very nutritious for someone who is so sick. Celiac is a very serious disease - life threatening. I would suggest more nutritious foods. Celiacs do not tolerate carbs very well. Protein is easily digested. Cabs are not. Eat fresh fruits, veggies, eggs, fresh meat and yogurt (if you...

    Knowing what I know now, I would eliminate all processed foods. Stick to the good stuff, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, fresh meat and eggs and see if the symptoms go away. Then slowly add in starch and grains and see what happens. Protein is usually tolerated very well. Carbs are not. Since I started reading labels I found the gluten free processed...

    Yu can buy them either way. I like a little meat on the bones, but if fat is a problem buy just the bones, add your veggies and enjoy. Beef bones make the best tasting bones IMHO!

    Not everyone with gluten intolerance has digestive issues. I get D and my younger sister has seizures, and my older sister has hallucinations! We also have different food problems, but our goal is the same, get rid of the bad bacteria and reestablish the good guys! Two of us are able to eat the SCD yogurt, which is like manna from heaven. One of us eats home...

    YES! It was horrible. The heart Dr. said my heart was enlarged. He sent me to an endocronologist...... it's a long story. It took awhile for me to figure it out, but my adrenal glands were in over drive pumping out adrenaline to control my blood sugar levels. Also I struggled with low blood pressure. I think I was low on every single vitamin there is...

    My sister does poorly with heavy protein such as pork and beef. She avoids them. I eat tons for meat and have had no problems. It's all a mystery we each have to find out for ourselves. The most important thing about the SCDiet is the yogurt. Probiotic. Which can be homemade sauerkraut or someother fermented food. I hope you are on some good probiotic or...
