    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
  13. MissCici
    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...
  15. MissCici
    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
  16. MissCici
    no one?

    I started with a new doctor recently who ran allergy tests on me via ImmunoLab. I reacted to 16 foods, including wheat, cow's milk, egg, and yeast. I have been on this diet for about three weeks with no symptom relief yet. My doctor told me to give it 4-6 weeks, but it seems I should feel somewhat better by now. Was anyone else tested through ImmunoLab...

    For some reason, I am confused by this. Is it just lunch meat ham that contains gluten? I looked at the ingredients of deli ham the other day and didn't see an ingredient I recognized as wheat/gluten, but it also had an allergy statement saying it did contain wheat and egg. I'm allergic to both, so this is a problem. What might I have missed as an ingredient...

    ARCHIVED Mayo Clinic - Jacksonville

    MissCici replied to dionnek's topic in Doctors

    I don't have a recommendation, but wanted to let you know that the waiting list for Mayo in MN is very long. I've been on it for about 3 months already and they told me today it would be another 6. Cici
  20. MissCici
    Thanks. I'm nervous my biopsy is going to be negative, even thought I think gluten is part of my problem. I'm trying to eat a lot of gluten until then. I don't feel wonderful, of course, but I'd rather have an accurate diagnosis. I think I will go gluten-free even if I'm not positive to Celiac. I think it would help me have less symptoms. Cici

    My blood test showed negative for Celiac in late May, but since I have many of the symptoms, by doc is going to do a biopsy in a few weeks. She also suspects that my stomach lining has eroded, so that in itself may be the problem. I went gluten-free for about a month do to suspected allergies (I know it's not the same, but a nutrionist suggested I give...

    I'm really struggling to find things to eat. My blood work tested negative for Celiac, but my allergist and dietician want me on a gluten free diet due to my symptoms. The problems is I am also allergic to many, many foods. Yeast, apples, melon, tomatos, rice, potatos, tuna, strawberries, nuts, and more. I'm really struggling with finding foods to eat...

    Sorry if I wasn't clear - they tested me for both allergies and Celiac. The allergies are definate based on the skin test. The blood on the Celiac came back normal, but I've read that those results aren't always accurate. Although they are different, I think that it's odd that the allergies can be so strong (3s or 4s on the scratch test), with the Celiac...

    I had a skin test two weeks ago for food allergies and discovered that, among many other things, I'm allergic to wheat, yeast, barley, rice, potatoes, etc. Today, they called to say that I was negative for Celiac Disease. I know that my diet will be the same either way, but with all the related allergies, I'm curious why the gluten didn't show up. Also...
  25. MissCici
    I'm still waiting on my blood work to come back, but based on my symptoms, my nurse practicioner is pretty confident I will test positive for celiac. I've had stomach problems for a few years and just discovered I have many food allergies. Apples, canteloupe, cashews, coconut, peaches, peanuts, potatos, rice, rye, spinach, strawberries, tomatos, tuna...
