I am with you there - I am not sticking to strict SCD. I cannot tolerate nuts, fruits, (raw or dried), honey, coconut milk, and can tolerate a few veggies. If I eat anything high in free fructose or even fructans (i.e. asparagus), I have extreme fatigue, brain fog, ect. So, I have been starving all day.

Also, Ali, to answer your question, I think I can handle raw lettuce and celery, but am not sure about raw tomatoes (cooked seem ok), or other raw veggies. However...

Hello All, First I wanted to thank all of you for posting, not just in this topic, but on this entire celiac board about SCD. This is where I initially found out about SCD last fall, and after my body started reacting to rice, potatoes, and chick peas, I decided to give SCD a try (I have actually read or skimmed thru most of the pages here). I started...
