Question for all of you more experienced SCDers: I can't have cow's milk. Could I make the yogurt with goat's milk yogurt? Anyone tried this before? Thanks! Cici

My doctor had just attended a conference - I think specifically for Lyme. I think that's where he got the Pringle idea. I'm not feeling great this morning, but I'm hoping it gets better. My stomach pain gets extremely intense, so I'm nervous today will be rough. Cici

It is the Olestra in the Pringles to help detox. I was surprised by that as part of my treatment, as well, but I like chips, so I'm good with it. I have Rx for Nystatin, Plaquenil, Cerefolyn, and something else - starts with an M. I did 3 IV treatments of zithromax last week, as a response to my horrible immune levels in my gut, but I think I may...

I had my follow-up appt this morning. He said my lyme test was one of the most positive he's ever seen. He changed my digestive enzyme and probiotic, plus gave me some new supplements (in addition to the 12 I'm already on) and 4 new prescriptions. He also told me to eat 1 inch of fat-free pringles every day to help detox. I thought that was very interesting...

I just found out today that my Igenx test was positive. I don't see my doctor until Tuesday, so I'm trying to do some research on my own until then. I didn't expect a positive result, and neither did my doctor, because my symptoms really don't fit well. I guess I will have to see how the doctor visit goes. Cici

I knew that the author had passed away, so I, too, was confused by what my doc and naturopath said about a new edition. I know that it is odd and confusing that they gave me this information. Cici

Sorry, I forgot some questions that I had. Do all of you avoid canned foods? I know this is the guidelines of SCD, but I see some that state "no sugar added" and wondered if those and/or canned organics would be okay? What are your thoughts on diet soda? Again, I know it is recommended to not have more than one per week, but I guess I don't understand...

Based on what both my DO and my naturopath said, they are about to print an updated edition of "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" in the next few weeks. We will have to wait and see if this comes true, but they both told me the update will be not be as strict on a few foods. Cici

Yes, I am talking about a new version of the book, at least according to my doc. The naturopath I saw last week says he was consulted on the new book and that it will be more flexible than previous additions. My doctor said rice will be allowed in the new book and that he thinks potatos are fine, too. Not sure about the potato status in the new edition...

I guess you could say I'm starting SCD today. It isn't all that different from my ImmunoLab plan, so I will be adding SCD principles to what I've already been doing. My doctor said rice will be allowed in the new version of the book and that I should be okay with potatos, too. Biggest changes for me right now will be no corn and he wants me to keep my...

I have symptoms for at least 3 years. No real diagnosis yet. Nausea, vomiting, bloating, belching, stomach pain, etc. I've been working with my doctor on food allergies based on my Immunolab report. Wasn't seeing any relief in symptoms, so he referred me to a naturopath. That is who wants me to try to SCD. We'll see how this goes, I guess. I have...

Hi everyone - I'll probably be starting on SCD this week. I'm a little nervous, just because I've had to change my diet several times due different doctor's recommendations. Any "getting started" tips you all have to offer? Also, what is the thought behind the canned vegetables? Would even organic canned veggies be banned on SCD? Cici

I'm so frustrated. I've been on Gluten-free Casein-free diet for almost 5 weeks, and I feel like my symptoms are worse! I know that healing is a process, but my doctor told me I could expect some relief w/in 4-6 weeks. I think the past week and a half have been the worst I've felt in a long time. I've always had some nausea and stomach pain, in addition...

My current doc is a D.O., not an M.D. I like that he tries more homeopathic remedies first. I had my gallbladder tested several months ago and the results were normal. I think my doc is recommending the flush because I have had had several digestive problems for a long period of time. I have also had issues with constipation lately - not sure if this...

My doctor recommended I do a one-day gallbladder flush. I've been looking into it - it sounds interesting and not fun. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks! Cici
