    Miracles- Sorry to hear of the colitis. That must be so difficult. I too am working with a wonderful alternative doc who is very much in favor of the SCD. He also has me on quite a supplement protocol. That's great to have all of the testing done as this will help to know what your body needs. I never thought in a million years that I would only be eating...

    Brenda, does making yogurt really destroy the casein? That would mean yogurt has no protein, wouldn't it? Sometimes I get bored eating the same old things. Any suggestions for snacks? I nibble a lot between meals. What do you two eat for breakfast, just out of curiosity?

    Molly by any chance are you casein intolerant. I tested positive with enterolab and have been afraid to try making the yogourt. My understanding is that there is not much protein left after the 24 hour process. Do you have a yogourt maker? If so what make? Brenda

    I just wanted to share my experience with the SCD. I have now had 8 really good days with lots of energy. I am 3.5 months gluten-free and 2.5 months dairy, soy , sugar and corn free. Couple of slips with the sugar. Anyway I was just not getting better. I was still so fatigued and having lots of headaches and episodes of constipation. I was getting very, very...

    I have been gluten free for 3.5 months and off dairy, soy, sugar and corn for about 2.5 months. I was still feeling really sick and fatigued. I strictly followed the specific carbohydrate diet for the last 7 days and I feel sooooo much better. I think pele's post is right on. I also take a dairy free probiotic and malic acid and betaine hydrochloride for...

    Just to echo what has been said here about dairy. I also had lots of problems with bloating, constipation etc until I gave up dairy.

    Thanks Ali- I too seem to do much better on a high protein diet. I crave meat often. I now eat lots of protein at each meal. I just had my breakfast and left out all supps except ones for low stomach acid. Hopefully I will know in a week if my supps are to blame. This process of elimination can be frustrating. I hope your testing goes well. Brenda

    Thanks Everyone for your input. You have no idea how great it is to have this forum as I don't have any others in my life who have these problems. I have decided to quit all supplements except the Now brand betaine hydrochloride and the Health Equation malic acid. I feel these are necessary for low stomach acid. I am to see my doc next week and should...

    Hi Gfpaperdoll- I have checked all supplements and my house is gluten-free/df. I don't use any sodas or sweetener of any kind. I use plenty of olive oil, fish oil and flaxseed oil. Mamaw my thyroid was checked 2 months ago and my TSH was 3. Low normal I think. The only thing I can think of is maybe my supplements are not gluten-free even though they...

    Hi- I have been gluten-free for 3 months and 2 months dairy free. I have also given up soy, corn and sugar. I have many improvements with symptoms but I am still so weak and tired all the time. I give myself weekly b12 shots, take pharmaceutical grade vitamins, adrenal support, betaine hydrochloride, malic acid and iron. I am under an alternative doctor's...

    I am in Canada. My alternative doc claims that 37% of the caucasion population are gluten intolerant. The problem with a celiac diagnosis is that no one makes any money from it. The big pharma companies would rather pump out all kinds of drugs to treat the wide range of symptoms. Sickness is big business. I have talked to all of my family members. Tons...

    My Smoothie Recipe 1 banana 8 or so frozen strawberries 1 or 2 tblsp ground flaxseed 1 tsp flaxseed oil 1 scoop brown rice protein powder 1 cup water or rice milk This holds me all morning and is very healing for the colon. You can play around with the ingredients. I love these. I started making these when I gave up all grains.

    lizard00- The olive leaf extract is an anti-fungal often used for candida. This could be the cause of your skin problems. Another possibility that comes to mind is dairy. Are you off all dairy? My husband had the worst exzema for over a year. He went dairy free and all exzema cleared up after 2 weeks. Just a thought. Meline- I called my doc and he has...

    Barbara you are right on with not eating any kind of flour products. That is what I was doing just before I had this recent setback. I do really well when I don't eat any flour or grains. I was feeling so well and that seems to be when I get kind of careless with my food. I am going back to big salads with a piece of meat. When I eat this way I have lots...

    Meline- Thanks! I am thinking maybe your suggestion of candida could be it. It kind of makes sense that once I had the sugar I fed the little critters. I have also been craving sugar this week. I think I will really think long and hard before eating any sweets. I am on week 2 of taking a probiotic and olive leaf extract. Brenda

    Hi I am close to 3 months gluten-free and 2 months dairy free. I was starting to feel much better until I had some gluten-free cake and some maple syrup on Mothers day. I have really avoided sugar since going gluten-free. I had the maple syrup on some homemade gluten-free pancakes I made from scratch. Soon after I had them I became really, really tired. All...

    I have been gluten-free for 2 months and 1 month of dairy. I tested positive through enterolab for both. I went through the worst withdrawal from dairy. I think I am still going through it. I have had frequent migraines, headaches, crippling fatigue, irritability and some ear canal pain. However when I gave up dairy I finally now have nice daily bowel...

    Hi Wilem- I have had all of your symptoms while eating gluten and dairy. I tested positive for both 2 months ago. I had the flu like symptoms for 5 mos before I stopped eating these foods. Most of my symptoms have gone away. The only lingering problem is fatigue. I think it will just take a little more time. Hope you feel better soon.

    I think if this situation were mine I would tell her that I will not put up with her cruelty any longer. I have a family that can be very cruel also. I have had to put all of them in their place by not putting up with anymore dysfunctional behavour. Your mother seriously needs help!

    I have been constipated my entire life. I have been gluten free for 2 months. I gave up all dairy a month ago and lo and behold I have the most glorious movements everyday- and often twice. I am also off all soy, corn and sugar as these foods will stop me up. I also really limit the amount of rice bread and never eat rice pasta. I eat a small amount of...

    I am 45 and newly diagnosed. I have struggled with depression since grade 3. It has been my constant companion throughout my life. I was first medicated at the age of 31 and was on countless drugs for the next 14 years. One combo of drugs caused manic episodes and I was diagnosed as bipolar. I lost my career and have been on a disability for the past ...

    Sorry to hear you are feeling rough. I am too for that matter. I have been gluten free for 2 months and dairy free for 1 month. In this amount of time I have also figured out that I cannot have corn, soy and most processed foods like rice bread. Popcorn for me is absolute poison. My hubby got glutened yesterday when he ate some salad at work. It had some...

    I can relate to the fatigue. I am 2 months gluten free and 1 month dairy free. I sleep 10 hours at night and 2 hrs every afternoon. I was never one to nap but I sure am now. I keep thinking that the body is cleansing. My diet is pretty darn healthy as I basically eat meat, vegs, fruit, eggs, brown rice and a few nuts. I became very fatigued when I gave...

    My husband went gluten-free and still had a terrible rash , lower back ache and D. He then quit dairy and all problems resolved after 3 weeks. You may have other allergies. I have been recently tested positive for gluten and dairy myself. I also know that corn, soy and sugar are absolute no no's me. I am still keeping a vigilant eye for other food sensitivities...

    Gabby I am going to try the toasted almonds. I bought my last bunch in a net at the grocery store. Maybe these are my problem. Tracy thanks- My thyroid was last checked 2 months ago and it was low normal. I think the TSH was 3. Jersey my iron levels were also low normal. It seems I am always low normal with everything. Yet I always feel so weak and...
