Hi Ali & mftnchn, I was breastfeeded for a long time, but my mom has had her own gut problems all of her life as well as her grandmother who had 'a lazy stomach'. I was examined for possible malabsorption and deficincies, the only thing that came out was a serious lack of iron/anaemia, that has been looked after. I am now officialy dx with nervous...

Ali B, you are right. I had a tummy bug only a couple of weeks before, that must have weakened my gut flora.

Hi all! Thanks for replying! What is very strange to me is that what I read about scd (which should be helpful in healing a leaky gut) is a contradiction to what the doctor prescribed me for it. He put me on 'permealine' which is a powder that is intended to stop hyperpermeablity of your gut, yet it's basically fructo-oligosaccharides. And I have to...

Hi all!! I've been reading about it (love the pecanbread site! usually, what's good for kids, is good for me). I've done some reading on the purely chemical structure of nutrition also and am now convinced that simple carbohydrates (both mono and disaccharides) go easier on an inflamed/irritated/leaky gut. So to me it's all about cutting down on complex...

Okey I'm now giving it serious consideration. I know my parents will think I'm starving myself and I don't like the introduction diet at all but I really need to get better so I'm prepared to try a lot... maybe even SCD, who knows. I'll do some more reading first.

I could give it a try but I have very little resources since I live in Belgium and you simply don't hear of 'SCD' around here. Only low-carb diets to loose weight but that's not what I want!! Didn't you loose weight? I can't get nut butter around here. Can I use walnut/chestnut/coconut powder? I could bake biscuits with them. Would it make a difference...

People already suggested trying it 6 months ago when I joined the forum. I read about it, then rejected the idea because carbs are what I hang on to when I'm not feeling well. Most of the time I'm not hungry, and tasteless food (which is carbs!) are the only thing I get down easily. As does a bananamilkshake but I guess even that's 'forbidden' in SCD... so...

It's been 6 months since I was diagnosed with leaky gut. I've taken probiotics every morning, fish oil supplements and followed a strict gluten/wheat/diairy/egg free diet. And nothing's changed!! I still have sensitive bowels (and stomach), I haven't gained anything, I still need 12 hours sleep and feel exhausted nevertheless. I have a chronic throatache...

ok thank you!!

I had intense treatment for iron deficiency aneamia (got weekly iron shots). My level went up from minus 5 to 29. The doctor said it's enough for now, I just have to make sure I eat the right stuff but I wondered: am I where I should be at or do I have to get it up some more? Yoekie

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you're not doing any better yet, despite your efforts. You asked if anyone else remembers the day things changed. I do. Maybe you remember my story -I had a food poisoning at 14 and it went a steady downhill from there. That one scoop of ice cream got me so seriously messed up inside that it took me 5 years to even START to...

Thanks for filling me in on american breakfast ideas!! We here in Europe are raised on bread with chocospread !! If you're oldfashioned you know porridge and we have croissants on Sunday but that's about it!! I'm thrilled to try out the puffed sweet potato and fried rice idea ! Thanks everyone!

I'm trying to cut down on bread (as store bought is too expensive for every day and I can't bake edible bread myself -yet ). Sometimes I have a glutenfreegrain porridge but I'm looking for less labor-intensive alternatives. I get easily bored of granola and rice cakes. Any ideas?

I'm from Belgium and surfing the internet about glutenfree living is sooo frustrating... I see all those delicious-looking foods for sale in USA & Canada -not just basics but also real treats like donuts, bagels, cereals,... argh and I can't find any of it here!! Do you know what I'm talking about? I'm not used to buy stuff online and wonder about the...

I wanted to take the pill to stop having m for a while because I'm very anemic. I'm putting so much efforts in getting my iron back up that I hate seeing much of it go wasted. I wanted the patch because I have a Leaky Gut and avoid taking oral medications. But I had not thought of the possibility of gastro-intestinal side effects. Since I'm on it I don...
