    I think I have discovered why some of us get a gassy reaction to the yogurt. Apparently lactobacillus bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide when they come in contact with pathogenic bacteria and beasties in their work of overcoming them. Once they have dealt with them the gas should abate. There are quite a few studies and references on this - most seem...

    Weird isn't it. Our youngest grandson Ashley who is six, who has always been really finicky with food - it has been a nightmare trying to get him to eat fruit and veg, has suddenly developed a liking for brussels sprouts!!! I mean, he won't eat the things that most kids love, like sweetcorn or peas, yet he likes brussels sprouts??? It was a joy to...

    Hi Richard. Anyone who has followed my previous posts over the last two years will realise that I am referring to the generally obnoxious highly processed, high sugar rubbish that passes for food on our supermarket shelves. It is also a 'greater or lesser degree' thing too. Some may 'get away with' more than others. We have such a high and rapidly...

    Hi Jan, you may be right about the straying bit to a certain extent but because I am on such a low carbohydrate diet, having the occasional square of very bitter chocolate or an odd rice cake or two is, I am sure not going to be a huge issue - I have been able to get the Candida under control perfectly well, but this is something else. Bacteria and yeasts...

    If Candida is an issue, I think you will find that the diet will deal with it eventually. It does take time, but at least it is working in the right direction. Whilst I feel that there is something a bit more problematic living in me that will take some pretty strong stuff to eradicate, I do seem to have pretty well, through the diet gradually been able...

    Sorry Lyn, as I suspected might happen, the thread I started on water and salt has been moved to the gab/chat room and has been pulled to pieces. Anyone would think that I had suggested drinking bleach and taking arsenic! The fact that a very small percentage of people have not done things sensibly and have been very ill or died as a result seems to be...

    Hi Lyn, I suppose that the water and salt thing is a bit off-topic, but then it is still 'food' as such - I don't think that either are SCD illegal! I will start a thread if you like - those that run this website already know that I am a bit 'off the wall' so they probably won't be that surprised! Mind you, dehydration does seem to be a big...

    I think we just don't realise how dehydrated we are. When I think back to my health issues over the years I can see that a lot of it has been related to dehydration. No I'm not nearly as bad as you are. Thank goodness you and your Doctors have figured out the problem and are able to address it.

    Hi Patti. I wonder if you are intolerant to the coconut because the bugs react to the medium-chain fatty acids in it - the caprylic, capric, lauric and myristic acids? Coconut is quite a powerful anti-fungal, bacterial and viral and could easily stir up a hornets' nest down there initially. I have found that sometimes with different things I have taken...

    I went for an ultrasound today but as expected there was nothing out of the ordinary. Everything was where it should be and apparently as it should be. I didn't think it would achieve anything. They can't see through the ribs, and the problem I have is further up in my back and on my right side under the ribs. Quite where I go from here I haven't a...

    Woolygimp, I don't know if you have come across this page on the SCD website but it is well worth reading if you haven't. Open Original Shared Link

    The thing is that it may not actually be our dehydration that is to blame for the Celiac. Dr. B was convinced from his research and study that Type 1 Diabetes - the type that develops in childhood, was very likely triggered by dehydration in the Mother - that her dehydration had impacted on certain processes in the baby during its development. To quote ...

    Here's an interesting personal experience of Celiac and the water and salt connection. https://www.celiac.com/articles/21771/1/Cel...tion/Page1.html I now feel that like type 2 Diabetes, it may well be possible to reverse Celiac Disease. This may seem controversial, but even Elaine felt that it was possible and may well have even encountered people...
  14. AliB
    I absolutely agree (and thanks for the vote of confidence ). The SCD was originally given to Elaine Gottschall to help her little girl with ulcerative colitis, but on the way it has been found to help all sorts of other health issues too. I will be the first to admit that I wouldn't be nearly as well as I am if it hadn't been for the SCD. When...

    Your body is trying to reject something it can't digest. The Imodium might even be making things worse. Are you already on an elimination diet? The first things to remove would be grains, starches, sugar and dairy and start from there. I know you mentioned about removing dairy in your other thread but why not just cut straight to the chase and start...
  16. AliB
    The best thing for elimination diets is to take just a handful of foods that you don't regularly eat - like the lamb, rice and yams/sweet potato - the SCD uses chicken/turkey and carrots - and start with those. It is often the foods that they eat the most which are the ones people tend to react to - that is the wisdom behind rotation diets. As has been...
  17. AliB
    Why not just try the Specific Carb Diet? It's as good an elimination diet as any........ The point with an elimination diet is to remove the foods that are difficult to digest, so most will cut out virtually all grains, starches, sugar and dairy. Alternatively, just try drinking more water..........give your body the water it needs to be able to digest...

    I keep banging on about this now but have woken up to the fact that my digestive and other health issues have all been due to dehydration. Not the immediate dehydration that shows up as strong coloured urine, but underlying long-term and gradually increasing dehydration. An Iranian Doctor who was held as a political prisoner over there discovered that...

    ARCHIVED Bad Diarrhea

    AliB replied to MKat's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    Over the last 2 years or so that I have been on this forum I have seen so often those who get a bit better after dumping gluten then seem to regress again for no apparent reason. What they all seem to have in common is that they generally are reacting to other carbohydrate foods, whether oats or corn or soy, etc. I have long suspected that this...

    Hi Bea. You can use the whole granules for making the sole - in fact it is better than using it ground because you can see more easily when saturation point is reached by the granules that are left undissolved in the bottom of the jar. If you have issues with your kidneys you may need to start gently with the water and salt and gradually increase it,...

    What is it specifically that you seem to be reacting to - can you pinpoint anything in particular?
  22. AliB
    Hi Chaty. You might find that the enzymes help - I didn't personally, but then it has all been due to dehydration and without enough water in my body it can't manufacture enough enzymes anyway. You might try drinking more water to see if that helps. It can take some time for the body to rehydrate - we just don't realize how dehydrated we are -...
  23. AliB
    Lyn. The quarter to half a teaspoon is for actual daily salt consumption to keep your electrolytes topped up with the added water intake. I haven't yet done the Sole as I have yet got any Himalayan salt, but I understand that you take one teaspoonful of the sole water mixed in to a glass of water first thing every morning. It doesn't sound like much but...

    Hi Donna. Have you read my previous posts on water and salt? I am convinced that a lot of the reason that so many of us can't digest carbs and some other foods, is due to dehydration. Yes, many of us certainly have unwanted gut bugs but that may well be because our bodies are too acid because of the dehydration. Taking the salt will apparently help...
  25. AliB
    Bea, it is the combination of the salt and water that is benefitting me. If I was only drinking a fairly 'normal' amount of water I probably wouldn't need the extra salt because I would be getting enough in my food, but because I am drinking the pretty high volume I need the extra salt otherwise the water would wash most of the electrolytes out of my body...
