ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
kkcarlton replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Dawn, I have one of those crystals and I like it. I can't tell a difference in sweat/BO with that one or regular deodorant. Also, I make my own lotions, salt scrubs, body butter, and eye cream for that very reason. Not so much SCD, but just trying to get rid of chemicals and xenoestrogens. I started making them back in 2003 I think. I use shea butter,... -

Cabbage is legal unless it still gives you D and gas according to the legal/illegal list. Some carbs are allowed because they have monosaccharides (one molecule sugars) while other carbs, the ones that are not allowed have disaccharides (two molecules - like lactose), and polysaccharides (many molecules - like starch and cellulose). The premise of the... -

Hi Ali, It is hard isn't it? And natural healing takes a while. The reason I am wondering if my abdominal distention is due to hormonal imbalance is because that's what I used to get during PMS before the hysterectomy. Towards the end, before I had the surgery, I had 25 to 45 day cycles I think and always 12 to 14 days PMS. I had various symptoms that... -

Well, I feel like I went through a 24 hour bug in 10 hours. LOL I feel better this morning, not really any nausea, but very weak and dizzy when I stand too long. No wonder after a phlebotomy, throwing up, and then not being able to drink anything yesterday. My temp went up to 101.5 then slowly went back down. I slept horribly since I could not take my magnesium... -

Alib - are you in the uk or germany? the bug got worse. i couldn't even keep water down. my husband is a firefighter an was taking one of the trucks to get refueled with one of the paramedics. apparently they've been giving people IVs with zophran. i'm a wimp. in the past i would have just dealt with it and let it run its course but the last 1 1/2 years... -

AliB, Dawn - Bee has articles on adrenal fatigue but I don't think she addresses it enough. And she claims that her diet will heal ANY illness, not just candida. When I posted that her diet would not have cured my high iron levels she put me on moderation for a month and didn't let the post go through. She is very much against taking amino acids but without... -

Bee has some interesting articles and thoughts. Overall it's a good program. What I don't like is that she will tell you that HER program is THE only way to heal from any illness and you have to follow it 100% including the daily egg drink, the electrolyte drink and supplements. Healing will only begin if you take all her supps and follow her diet. Any time... -

Dawn and AliB - thanks for posting. Great points and I will look at the link you provided later Dawn. It's interesting that you bring up candida since I just read a report on it from Dr. Mercola. You can see it here Open Original Shared Link. One of the symptoms he lists with systemic candida is 'tremendous fluid retention to try to dilute the toxins'. I... -

Hi Dawn, Thanks for the encouragement and yes, it IS frustrating. I think if a patient came to me complaining of 28 days non-stop abdominal distention I would show a little more compassion. I am still angry about the comment she made that 'fluid retention doesn't work that way'. At this point I am wondering if I should skip the stool test and the... -

Does anybody if nitrates are allowed? I know they are not healthy but from an SCD standpoint, are they ok? I have sugar free bacon but it has sodium phospahtes, sodium erythobate, and sodium nitrite. -

ShayFL, ArtGirl - thank you for the replies. I am more and more skeptic about this. Maybe I'll just fork out the money for the stool test to see if there ARE parasites or if there IS bacterial overgrowth. If not then I'll know that something else is going on. Kristina -

I am going to call today and find out more about the iridology. If they just tell you which organs are not functioning properly I may still do the stool test. I really would like to know if what I am experiencing is from gut dysbiosis and the stool test would tell me if things have gotten worse or better since I had a similar one done in April this year.... -

This may be a better link to iridology. Open Original Shared Link Thoughts? I am finding more sites indicating it's a hoax than sites indicating it really works. Kristina -

Hi All, Well I had a visit with my doc today and left relatively frustrated. When I told her that I have gone up two sizes in my lower body she said "I don't believe it". When I asked her about fluid retention she said that fluid retention "doesn't work that way" meaning you don't retain fluid in your hips, butt, and thighs. I am no doctor, but I Know... -

Dawn - I I have to admit though that I am also wondering if this is really all due to bacterial overgrowth. You would think it would go away during the night and flare up when I eat like it did sometimes but now it's just 24/7 and for 25 or 26 days now. I am on the fence about EFT. My husband is a pastor and we are Christians. He says from a Christian... -

Hi ShayFL, Great points about oil pulling and I may try it again. Which oil are you using for it? I'll try to find your post on it. Kristina -

Hi Ali, I have Healthy Trinity from Natren right now and these you are supposed to take WITH food. They have some encapsulation process and you need gastric juices to release the probios. Go figure! It's actually sort of a hassle but I like that they are cultured on garbanzo beans and not dairy or soy so they are completely dairy, soy, and gluten free... -

Hello Again, I just looked up maltodextrin and read that it's a polysaccharide. The digestive enzymes I had before had maltodextrin and I have a supplement called Vitalzym that has it so I won't be taking it anymore. I think my other supplements are ok. Although, is such a small amount significant. Well, I tried eating eggs today and the result was... -

Hi All - me again with some more questions. I am about to read chapter 9 of the book (Introducing the Diet) and I am so impressed with it. I almost did not get it because I figured I was already doing everything I can and was well informed, but I have learned a lot. So my questions are, can I take supplements that contain maltodextrin? And what's everybody... -

Dawn - coconut oil has very high anti-fungal properties and is also an anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial. I am not sure what your reaction to it was, but it can cause die off. As for inflammation, turmeric is good against inflammation but you need a lot of it, but even more so natural progesterone cream. It's an anti-inflammatory. I sound like I am selling...
