    Hi Jesse. What are/were your symptoms?

    Hi. What a lot on here have found is that Gluten-free alone does not always solve all their problems, and for some it actually makes things worse, or at the very least, no better. It seems as though she may be having problems with carbohydrates in general, and that does seem to be pretty common. I wonder if you might find it helpful to get her on to...

    I am Diabetic and also gluten-free. I follow a low-carb diet not only for my Diabetes but also for my health. I do eat more fats - good fats, like coconut oil, butter, ghee and olive oil and that helps to keep me satisfied for longer. It also helps me work in fat-burning mode rather than carb-burning. If I am in FB mode not only am I kept fuller for...

    I just wanted to add that I think we have to be careful in the amount of supplements and stuff that we take. I feel sometimes that if we take to much we can just confuse the body and possibly make things worse. A lot of these herbs have quite potent ingredients which may conflict with each other at times if we are not careful. Food substances you are...

    By introducing one food at a time at three or four day intervals. That way you are more able to pinpoint reactions and avoid getting food reactions confused by delayed responses. You mention both allergies and intolerances. They are not the same. Allergies cause a histamine response of some kind (and therefore respond to antihistamines) whereas intolerances...

    You know, I don't think there is much these little beggars aren't capable of. At the end of the day they are parasites. They feed off us and will do anything to maintain their food source, even to the extent of exuding certain toxins to switch off our enzymes or change processes in our bodies. They may not have a brain as such but they are designed to...

    Hi Donna. I have been taking the oregano oil (1 twice per day) for 2 days now and I get a little cramping and have had a touch of diarrhea today. However, I am not fazed by that, in fact it tells me that the oregano is doing its job. I suspect that it will improve given a week or two. I am quite excited to see what happens with it over the next few...

    Hi Sophie. I am diabetic myself and can sympathise. Currently I am eating very low carb to keep my blood glucose levels low and it works well. I have been doing it long enough to have got used to it now. I eat low-carb, medium protein and higher fat. I wonder if the fact that several of the foods you have issues with are generally anti-fungals might...

    Hi Jackie. I don't know how long Megan has been taking it for (you might have to PM her if she doesn't return to this thread) but I finally got around to getting some yesterday and even as the first dose was going down there was a heap of grumbling going on, so that was a result. I bought some capsules because that was all I could find but will get some...

    Thanks Megan. Yes, apparently oregano oil is good, I know that Bee Wilder (Healing by Bee) recommends it. It's one of those things I've been meaning to get and haven't got around to yet. I will really have to do that.

    Thanks Patti. There is a similar one on the SCD recipe thread in the recipe section but that is egg-free and uses a little parmesan and olive oil to bind the mixture together. This one looks pretty easy though for those who can eat eggs. Jesse. I think that if fats have been problematic for you then you certainly need to start low - but bear...

    Yes, well, what is told to you by a Doctor or Dietician is only their opinion at the end of the day - even trained Doctors and Dietitians seem to have their own slant on everything. I even had to educate my own Doctor about Celiac and glucose intolerance! She went off and did a load of research (like me) and now knows a lot more about it herself. She...

    Hi Jesse - it may just be a case of hanging in there. Many of us have experienced all sorts of weird stuff at the start. I know my stools went through the whole gamut and back again over a period of three or four weeks. I mean, this is really a pretty radical change to your diet so it is not too surprising in a way. If you have not been used to eating...

    You can't avoid both fats and starches. One fat you may be able to have is coconut oil. It is a medium-chain triglyceride and does not need bile for digestion. Also, one of the things it does do is boost the metabolism. I cook (low-temperature) with it, use it as a spread, add it to soups and smoothies and even eat it off the spoon. You may need to start...

    Hi all. The thread has gone very quiet - is anybody there?? Jesse, I didn't answer your question because I am in the UK and don't know what is available in the States. I use the Total brand Greek yogurt here, but not sure if you can get that. On the subject of yogurt, some may have noticed my thread on SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) in...

    Well, apart from the Cancer, mine has followed a similar path. Although I have been following the SCD for the last 18 months and have benefitted from it, the fatigue is still there albeit not quite as bad as it was. I do eat pretty low-carb anyway as it helps keep my blood sugar stable. As I mentioned, I believe mine started from a child, gradually building...

    Hi Donna. I am not yet SIBO free. It is only recently that I have picked up the connection through months of research and investigation. However, I am now working to become SIBO free. Because of the dangers of bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, and also the fact that antibiotics seem only to give temporary relief in most cases, I have chosen...
  18. AliB
    Oh yes. I have the dubious privilege of starting the SCD thread. It has worked well for me over the last 18 months, but I still have a few issues. Those, I think are because I have not been as disciplined with it as I should have been, but particularly as far as taking probiotics and especially the yogurt. After a long period of research and investigation...

    Interesting article on the links between SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) and 'autoimmune' diseases including Celiac and Diabetes. Open Original Shared Link Funny, he mentions restless leg syndrome which is a kind of ataxia. Along with IBS-D which is also mentioned, that was an issue for me for years until I dumped gluten. But it does kind...

    This is only a theory, but i wonder if the reaction you get from fruit is not the fruit itself as such but from certain undesirable yeasts and/or microbes in your gut reacting with the fruit. They luuuurve sugar. Give them sugar and they are happy. Give them fruit and they may not be quite so happy. Definitely fruit is best eaten on its own before...

    Personally I generally don't eat after dinner now and rarely even bother with any dessert or any kind. Now that I am getting more fats I don't seem to be so 'picky'. If I do have anything, I break a square or two of (SCD illegal!) very dark 80% or more choc into tiddly bits and have some spaced apart. Small amounts don't spike my blood sugar like large...

    I agree with Pells - at the end of the day what works for one doesn't work for another. I mean, to start with many have problems with even SCD 'legal' foods and although that may improve over time, they may still have issues with one or two foods. It has to be a 'rule of thumb' to a certain extent. There are certain principles involved here. What...

    Hi Rhodger. I went into the website and had a look at the 100 and the 100 vegetarian - couldn't see anything that would be problematic. Whey found in the 100 prep is a constituent of yogurt anyway (the veggie one doesn't have that). They seem ok to me. Whatever garlic you do take don't bother with the odorless stuff - the main active ingredients are...

    What you need to do is make sure that the coconut milk is not hydrogenated. Of course, it doesn't tell you that on the tin. One way of telling is if the the milk is all blended and creamy - it's lovely like that but that may well be an indicator that it is hydrogenated. The other way, to be doubly sure would be to contact the producers and ask. I did...

    Hi Mitzi. I wasn't particularly pointing any finger at you, just making an observation. And yes, some have found that the SCd has helped their C........or D. Why not join in to the main SCD thread and chat with us there. The Moderators prefer us to keep all things SCD on that thread if possible (otherwise it might threaten to overrun the forum!). ...
