    Beverly, as has been stated here before, a clear premise of the SCD diet is that it helps move out parasites and bad bacteria from the intestine as part of the healing process and the whole point of SCD. So we do consider this on topic. Its discussed in BTVC, the book we are basing our diet on. Liz, it does take some time to adjust! Be kind to yourself...

    Bea, its wonderful that you are progressing so well. The basic cabbage juice recipe I am using is on www.pecanbread.com 3 C cabbage, 1 3/4 C water. The first time let it sit 3 days, no probiotic needed, but you can add some acidophilus if you want. After that, make it fresh everyday and add 1/4 C of the previous juice. 24 hrs from the 2nd batch onward...

    Pele, that's great you like the cabbage juice. When I dilute it to drink I like it better, but its okay straight too. Did you notice improvement from the S. Bourdarii?

    I have the brainfog but not the migraines, sounds miserable. Ali, thanks for the leptin info, its interesting. It makes sense in another way for me in that I bloat more toward the end of the day. I wonder if water input should be shifted as well?

    Yolo, I agree with Ali in terms of it coming down to what works for each. My sense is that with your immediate improvement on yogurt you may be able to introduce things more quickly than some of us, at least I am hopeful for you! For me the crux of the matter about stevia is what is the chemical composition and can my very compromised digestive system...

    Jan I've had the same reaction for a long time about fermented foods. However, to my big surprise, I find the cabbage juice quite palatable, it is especially easy to handle when diluted. Michelle, that's great news. Seems to me that a shift in the gut motility could take a bit of time to settle. I'm going to further explore the differences between using...

    Bea, I haven't researched stevia so I'm only mentioning that I think it is on the not okay list. Usually that means Elaine researched the composition and found it to be too high a ratio of the wrong kind of starch, or too much dissaccharide. But I can't remember; it's probably mentioned on one of the web sites. Sometimes she says its not okay but the explanation...

    Bea, that's great news about the yogurt! The 24 hr process removes the lactose which may be a factor in your tolerance. I'm wondering if rather than a strict candida problem, you've had a general imbalance in the gut flora. Some of the herbs you mention are mucilaginous which are contraindicated on SCD. Seems like you know yourself and the herbs well...

    I know you are really restricted, but you might give Elaine's protocol for constipation a look. Its posted somewhere on www.pecanbread.com as I recall. What are you doing for probiotics? That's really important. I've cut back on yogurt recently and am using fermented cabbage juice, which is actually quite palatable. Adequate probiotic may help with...

    Hi Pickles, welcome. Wow! The WHOLE thread!! LOL 4 months on SCD is still a bit early in one sense. The first year can be still a bit rocky with flares and improvements kind of unstable, I'm told by people who have been on this for awhile for various GI problems. My doctor is in Portland and is very good however, is only taking new pediatric (autistic...

    Cindy, soy not allowed on SCD so most of us here are avoiding that. I knew soy was a problem before starting SCD, too.

    Liz, that's just great. Hopefully what we've learned will be helpful to you and your son ( and all of you) will see some great progress.

    Michelle, I do 3 cups of cabbage and 1 3/4 C of water, blend it well, add 1/4 C of my last batch of juice. I put it in a quart jar at room temperature for 24 hours. Then I strain out the juice and discard the pulp. I do a fresh batch of cabbage every day. It fills my quart jar to 1-2 inches from the top. You are supposed to have at least an inch at the...

    Bea, welcome! Its nice to see you here. Open Original Shared Link I'm wondering if saccharomycesboulardii might be of particular help to you? Sherry
