    Can you try getting your little one on to some probiotics? Even good plain live yogurt mixed with fruit and a little honey will help (not the commercially flavored ones - they are worse than useless - very counter-productive as they are full of sugar). Anyone who is not digesting their food is suffering with gut dysbiosis. As a lot of the final proper...

    Unless you can deal with the damage to your gut properly, you may well find that the intolerances will just spread from one food to another - first gluten, then corn, then soy, then........ I see this all the time on here where people have developed intolerances to more and more foods and are incredibly frustrated. My belief is that a lot of our health...

    I agree with Shay that fat absorption could be an issue but another problem with nuts is that they often carry molds - especially shelled ones and peanuts can be the worst offenders. If Candida is an issue for you then you would likely get a reaction to the nuts. By far the majority with Celiac/Gluten Intolerance seem to have issues with Candida and other...

    I went gluten-free at the end of Jan 08. I then realised I was also Dairy intolerant so dropped that too. After following a gluten-free diet for a few weeks I then further realised that my health issues were down to more than just those two which is when I very fortunately came across the SCD. I still had issues for a while even with some SCD compliant...

    Open Original Shared Link I did a bit of research on Bullous and Celiac/gluten too and there were a few tenuous links, but would say that whilst gluten may well be a contributory factor, with both of these conditions, like many others including DH and its ilk, the cause is very likely to be due to gut dysbiosis and an infestation of pathogenic yeasts...

    The problem Mand with soya, is that whilst in Japan they do eat it, it is fermented, like tofu, tempeh and miso. They also do not eat as much of it is assumed. They do not use soy other than this way as traditional diet recognised that the beans had to be fermented like this to destroy toxins within them. Modern processing does not do this, so Western...

    It could well be the Nystatin that is triggering the response - Candida can be anywhere in the body and any threat to its 'comfortable existence' may well throw out reactions. I would not be at all surprised if corn and soy are problematic - those who have problems with gluten foods often have difficulty with carbohydrates in general - it is the carbs...

    Dry skin could be linked - it is difficult to say as we all react differently. Are you getting enough good fats? The body needs enough fat to work effectively - the brain is apparently at least 60% fat. Contrary to popular opinion some fats that are considered good, like corn oil and sunflower are actually not beneficial to the body as they are usually...

    Whilst fruit should be limited on a Candida diet, I think we have to be clear about the difference between the fructose in sweets and the fructose in fruit. Commercial fructose is refined and processed. Fructose in fruit is not. In sweets it is pure refined carbohydrate with no value. In fruit it is accompanied by a host of different elements that support...

    There is an SCD thread on the 'Other Food Intolerance' section in this forum, and the two main websites are 'breaking the vicious cycle' and 'Pecanbread'. As the interest, and good response is growing, new sites and recipe blogs, etc., are springing up all the time which is also very helpful. I have also started an SCD recipe thread on the 'Recipes' section...

    I don't know if you have looked at them Patty, but the BTVC website 'breaking the vicious cycle' and 'Pecanbread' site are two of the best resources for SCD information. The BTVC site has a comprehensive listing of the 'legal/illegal' foods and loads of other stuff. Pecanbread, although aimed mainly for kids with Autism, also carries a lot of info that...

    Hi Liz. One problem that most people aren't told about when they are diagnosed, or go gluten-free (and unfortunately most Doctors are completely clueless about it too), is that many who are Celiac/gluten intolerant actually have a problem digesting carbohydrates in general properly, including sugars. Unfortunately, another thing the food manufacturers...

    Fruits are ok on the diet in the mostpart although they need to be somewhat restricted if you are battling Candida. Some find that even on the SCD they have to restrict nut flours, honey and most fruits, and even the yogurt for a while until they can get the Candida more controlled. Bacteria like L. Acidophilus and L.Bulgaricus etc., are good at helping...

    Kristina, I cant figure out how hormones would make stomach bloat. It has to be due to gases of some kind and that is what makes me more suspicious of yeasts or bacteria. Many of them produce gas as part of their digestive process and I would think it is more likely to be that than anything else. Foods don't ferment under their own steam - it is all...

    Oh Kristina, sorry about the stomach thing, that's a bummer (sorry!). Who would think that we would be appraising the advantages of a stomach upset!? You may well be right about my adrenals - they are better than they were but when I first had the digestive collapse and figured out where the adrenals are when I reached round and touched the right one...

    I see this all the time - gluten intolerant but not getting better on gluten-free. There are a lot of us on here with similar problems. Some of us are following the Specific Carb Diet which cuts out the troublesome foods that many of us can't digest and allows the gut to heal properly, and getting good results. Although you have restricted your diet...

    I agree. I think that a lot of people out there have a lot of good information, but not all of them have all the answers. At the end of the day, Bee is just relaying what worked for her. It may well work for others - if you are only dealing with Candida or similar pathogens, but some of us may need a more broader-pronged approach. However, she does...
  18. AliB
    That's an interesting concept and another one I hadn't thought about before. Bee is saying on her website that the Medical Profession confuses symptoms with diseases. The fact that my body cannot use insulin is not a disease, it is a symptom of something not working properly. All symptoms are evidence of malfunctions, but they are not diseases, they...

    Kristina, and anyone else that is interested - take some time to really investigate Bee's Candida site - it is very, very interesting. She talks a lot of sense and has similar viewpoints as me about things like antibiotics. Although her diet is not quite the same as the SCD it is similar and also cuts out grains, starches and dairy. I have come across...

    Thought I would start a new SCD testimonial thread - it is encouraging to see how it has helped others. Not everyone responds to the diet, but many do and it would be good to see how they fared, or how they are still improving. I have been following the SCD since April 2008. My recovery is slow but positive. I have not been as disciplined with the...

    I kind of wonder about the 'one size doesn't fit all' approach. Yes, it is true that we are all different, but at the end of the day our bodies should work pretty much the same if in the same state. We all have the same internal organs and processes. What may well make the difference is the kinds of and quantity of different bacteria we have. Even within...

    Ok Scott, thanks - it was worth a try. I just wish there was some easier way of getting it 'out there'. If people don't know about it then they are not able to try it. Ali.
  23. AliB
    I don't know if she is the same person Kristina, but there is also a website by someone called Bee that deals with Candida and is very interesting. Open Original Shared Link
  24. AliB
    Yes Sherry, that's a good idea - the only problem with that of course, is that if they are not posted on regularly they drop off the end of the list and are not visible unless someone is actually looking for them. I just wish there was some easier way to link to them. Scott replied on the Tech section to say that he can't add any more sections - he gets...

    The mucous is there because something is aggravating your body. It may take a while to settle down but the important thing is to try to learn to read your body. Try and figure out what it is that is triggering it. Even though I have been dairy free for nearly a year and on the SCD for 9 months I still wake up in the morning with mucous and catarrgh....
