    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Thanks for the excellent replies, I know number 7 sounds gross but I feel like the way I've been living is even grosser. That is a good idea about adding what I have done and how it's affected me, I'll compile that and throw it on here. Think I stand a chance of getting better? Thanks, -Jesse

    Hey everybody, since getting my IBS diagnosis this summer I've been around forums specifically for that (since I've been eating wheat after collapsing on the GAPS diet.) It's all a long story, but basically I got worse on GAPS and my doctor doesn't really want anything else to do with me because he has no more ideas. The people on the IBS forums however...

    I'm somewhat of the opinion that foods in their whole and natural form are the way to go, though I suppose with things like peanut butter and yogurt it's somewhat debatable. I would look into a book called Nourishing Traditions, which has a lot of good recipes and information, but the biggest thing is that you should soak your grains before eating them to...

    I had to take a quarter off last year and I will again if I have to (knock on wood.) The depression is the worst; feeling crappy made me want to stay in my room all the time. I stopped going to class, then I stopped going to the dining hall, then I stopped leaving my bed... I'm back in school this year. The hardest part is the social aspect; I wish...

    Hi all, I'm having a rough time digesting fats and meat broths have been too much for me. I'm wondering if the often mentioned bone broth might be okay? I'm thinking that if it's just boiling bones (not whole slabs of meat or entire chickens) and drinking that with the marrow in it it wouldn't have all the fat content of the broths I previously made from...

    Thanks for the reply, I don't have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies. I do not eat only fresh meat though, I've never thought about it. Most of it is fresh, though I do eat some sausages with only safe additives (spices, salt/pepper, no nitrates or nitrites, all grass fed meat.) I do have a tendency to overeat at each meal, I miss the feeling of being...

    Hi there, yeah I tried the naturopath plan (candida diet + endless supplements.) I felt normal crappy and hungry! The new doctor I'm seeing is a pretty interesting guy, he bases all of his work off of the books Nourishing Traditions and the GAPS. When I talked to him about digestive enzymes he said he doesn't use them unless it's totally apparent that...

    I'm of the opinion that gluten is bad for everyone, so I'm not considering going back to it (maybe not ever) I just meant I don't have celiac- the blunting of the villi etc. Gluten was definitely an issue for me, just not so much an autoimmune one. I've been feeling better yesterday and today, though I've been eating a lot of cooked apples. I hope I...

    Gas, bloating, loose stools of all colors (usually pale), usually thin and ribbon-like, going 3-7 times a day, incomplete evacuation every time, minor cramping.

    I just don't know...I don't fit the Celiac description really; after 7-8 months gluten free I spent a month eating everything on my (former) doctors advice; pizzas, burgers, cakes etc., and I felt better for that month than I feel now. I've never had mal absorption or any deficiencies, I don't lose much weight...I mean, anything is possible, but based on...

    Alright, before I pose this question, you have to know that I'm the biggest meat eater you can imagine. Even before I got any stomach problems, I could easily eat 6 meals in a day; 5 of them would have meat, and all 5 of those would have more meat than veggies. When I went gluten free and now that I'm on the SCD I eat endless amounts of meat a day, I can...

    Ugh, so after some rotten experiences peanut butter is out, as are eggs and almond flour based baked goods. Can I get by with just meat, veggies, nuts and (eventually) fruit? I'll be eating fermented veggies as well. I just don't really get it, all I have is dysbiosis and minor candida, all the docs say this diet should do wonders for me but now on my...

    AliB, The fat goes through me pretty much undigested. I get D that's pure grease, and any stools I have are unformed, break apart instantly and float near the top of the water. I talked to my doctor today and he basically put me on the later stages of the GAPS/SC diet, skipping the broth stages and moving on to meats, eggs, veggies, nuts and small...

    Hi there, I had been on a candida diet for about 6 weeks prior to starting this new plan, so I' had already experienced some die-off. It really seems like the fat is killing me...I think you're right about starting out low, I just need to talk to the doc before I make any changes. But this is relatively common then?

    Thank for the tip, I'm looking for any excuse to use the gas stove in my apartment (we have electric at home and it's crappy.) On another note, I'll just say the following may be too much information just to warn you in advance. I'm on the introduction to the GAPS diet, which involves eating soup for most of my meals and drinking 2-3 cups of broth at...

    Hello my SCD comrades, in a short week or so it will be time for me to add yogurt. Anybody know of a particular brand/model of yogurt maker that's good for the SCD? Preferably a large one so I don't have to make more every day? Thanks, -Jesse

    Don't take antibiotics! My stool test came back with 0 good bacteria and a bad one, so I thought "well, if I have no good ones anyway might as well take the antibiotic!" Now I've been informed that was a bad idea. Take a quality probiotic and eat cultured foods (sauerkraut, pickles with live cultures, yoghurt if you can or other fermented foods, and find...

    Thanks for responding Jan! I just moved in to my apartment yesterday: Gas stove, full sized refrigerator, full sized kitchen. I think I'm in heaven after the nightmare of the dorms/dining hall last year. I've been cooking soup non-stop, this is the end of day two on the "introduction section" of the GAPS diet, I'm hoping to start feeling better soon. ...

    Hi, thanks for responding! I guess I'll have to look into it...it seems very daunting, all the yogurt making and fermenting (though right now I'm eating buckwheat/quinoa and the soaking of everything in advance is making me want to pull my hair out.) I feel like I'm going to be making bone broth soups every day, just for the ease factor (I'm not much of...

    Hey everybody, this thread is intimidating! I'm supposed to be starting the GAPS diet (which is basically the SCD) and I have a few questions about yogurt and fermented veggies. I'm a college student going back to school on monday and I don't feel confident in my ability to handle this stuff! Are there any commercial brands of yogurt or sourkrout that...

    hey, I noticed that you had SIBO, was it successfully treated with a course of ant-biotics? I have just started tx with Cipro for SIBO. I hear that it is cyclical and very hard to get rid of. Have you tested negative now for SIBO or are you still dealing with this? Thanx Donna

  23. IChaseFrisbees
    Oh my goodness, you have no idea how nice it is to hear a success story! It seems like those are few and far between on the internet, thanks for lifting my spirits! So you kept wheat, barley, rye and oats out of the diet the whole time? Right now I've just added brown rice and quinoa in and that seems to be going okay every 4 days, my ebergy has picked...
  24. IChaseFrisbees
    Agreed on the lentils, my naturopath says they're easy to digest because of how small they are. Have you tried non-grains like buckwheat and quinoa? They have more protein than rice and the like and are not members of the grass family (like rice, wheat and oats I think) so they may be non-allergenic for you.
  25. IChaseFrisbees
    Is anyone on a rotation diet? I'm on a candida diet of veggies, meat and eggs and I'm about to start rotating foods every 4 days and food groups every 2 days. I have candida and leaky gut and I'm hoping to avoid any new allergies and give my gut a rest after eating something I'm not supposed to (I haven't yet identified all my problems.) Any success...
