    This was why I dropped dairy almost a month ago - figured it was part of the problem. And I did notice improvement from what it was before. BUT - there is still too much. And it doesn't matter what I eat. All I have to do is swallow water wrong (so that I end up coughing) - and that sets it off. I have tried some of my yogurt, and I seem to be okay...

    Mmmm...yum - that sounds really good! I will give it a try. I actually have some fresh ginger at home that I bought last night. Just need the sparkling water. Thanks for posting the recipe! The one thing I am still very frustrated by is the mucous level in my throat. It is thick, often hard to clear - almost always present. Today maybe it is...

    Does anyone out there have the recipe for the muffins using the almond flour that are recommended by Elaine for constipation? I have not received my books yet and have not been able to locate the recipe. If it is on a particular website, could you point me to the site? Thanks!

    The exchange of thoughts and experiences on this thread is invaluable! I think I will feel more comfortable with listening to my own body and make adjustments within reason. I think that following the diet closely at first is helpful to getting off on the right foot. And I don't want to think of it as a "diet," which is usually temporary. I want to think...

    I have been slowly making my way through all of the pages of this thread. I tend to be a very black and white, perfectionistic type person - so when I read in BTVC that it is imperative to not stray one least little bit from the diet, I read that as "dire things will happen if you do!" So it was good to read this comment (and one from pele right before...

    I have a few questions. What is allowable to drink? I know 100% grape juice (Welch's recommended). Water I am sure. I really like my diet soda (yes, I know - not the best - but I don't drink it all day long every day) - but I think that is not really recommended and if drank should be minimal, later on in the diet. I am normally constipated. I take...

    Hi Kschauer! Welcome - I too am just getting started on this journey. Everyone on the board has been very helpful. I just have to say - I actually made yogurt! I know - not really that big of a feat - but it seemed it at first. Best thing is - it tastes really yummy. I just added a little bit of honey and it was the best. Very tart, but...

    I had read of the problem of the temp being too hot in yogurt makers too. I knew that wouldn't be good! I will need to do some fine tuning with the dimmer. By the time I got up this morning, my water temp had gone down to around 90. Turned it back up. Had to give up on the small crock pot as it has an automatic timer on it and it and the dimmer do...

    I am so glad you gave me that tip - I went and checked mine - and it operates the same way!! Who know?? I had it set on high, and not low. So, I now have it plugged into my tester crock (the smaller one) - on low with warm chosen on the crockpot. We will see. Though from everything I read, if I transfer the jars, I have to be very careful and...

    I am going to have to check out my dimmer! Maybe it works the same way. I would love to NOT have to purchase something else. I did use whole milk - so hopefully it will work. I am hoping to not have a reaction to it (milk sometimes bothers me now - with alot of gas plus I think it affects the mucous production). I would like to try to coconut yogurt...

    Hmmm....no telling how mine will turn out. We are having computer troubles, so I was unable to get back on the internet until now. So I dug through the tons of stuff I have printed out and came up with something that seemed to indicate that I would use 2 quarts milk to 1/2 cup Dannon yogurt. And that was it. I did not add honey or anything. I...

    Artgirl - how much milk, how much starter? I bought a dimmer for my crockpot since my heating pad had an auto shutoff which was a pain to remember to keep turning on. I can't seem to find amounts. I am using Dannon yogurt as my starter this first time. Got the crockpot going with water in it, monitoring the temp. Just need the amounts so I can get started...

    I think you are right - and just reading it that way relieves a lot of stress! (thanks ) I will be going to the book store this weekend to look at the book (BTVC) as well at the particular cook book I am interested in. My goal right now is to cut grains. Morning will be the last to go. I would like to be grain free through snacks, lunch and dinner...

    Shay - thanks for the clarification! I had allergy testing done (skin prick, followed by some intradermal when nothing showed, follow by bloodwork (I assume it was IgE) - nothing showed up. So that gives me hope that indeed my intolerances are a symptom of bad bacteria/leaky gut - and will disappear when I take care of those issues. GermanMia...you...

    Okay, that has me chuckling! That is part of my concern - not being able to use eggs and dairy. I see quite a few things that look tasty, lots of variety - but eggs seem to play a large part in that! I do not "know" that eggs are definitively a problem for me. I only cut them because I was miserable drowning in mucous (constant throat clearing) - they...

    Oh my gosh!!! AliB you are right - of course there are recipes out there for SCD legal pecan pies. There are just tons of recipes waiting to be discovered! Open Original Shared Link The first one I saw looks wonderful!!! Actually sounds a whole lot better than the corn syrup one, I am sure I could be very satisfied with that. Don't know...
  17. DMarie
    Okay, I have been up and down on the whole idea throughout the afternoon. I stumbled across an SCD recipe book on Amazon that had high ratings. Plus did more reading on BTVC website (think I got the initials right). As long as I know I can cook things, have choices - I am good! I like flavorful food - otherwise, why bother eating it?! By flavorful I...

    A few more questions. For those of you who do use a yogurt maker - what kind do you use? Also, it would appear from the Pecanbread site that Dannon plain yogurt (not low fat) is acceptable to use as yogurt starter. I would ultimately like to order some starter from online (such as from Kirklands as has been recommended) - but for this weekend, I would...

    Thanks Wonka!

    Fingers faster than the brain! I posted before I was ready. I recently purchased a Cuisinart food processor (it was on a fantastic sale!!). It is my best friend in the kitchen! I will give the oats a whirl as you suggest, Missy'sMom. Hmmm...wondering if I could also make my own almond meal flour? How much is too much for a food processor? Guess...

    Thanks for the info on sorghum Janessa!
  22. DMarie
    So now I am a little confused as I look at two issues (SCD and histamine intolerance). My responses to food are random. A couple of weeks ago I ate a handful of cashews one day, and my stomach hurt after. Yet, since then I have had cashews - and not a problem. This morning I ate pumpkin waffles (used buckwheat, sorghum and a little bit of tapioca...

    Thank you everyone for your informative (and encouraging) posts! I have been wanting to get in here and read all day - but it was a very busy day at work. Ali/Mia - what you say makes a lot of sense. I felt encouraged and somewhat empowered. I do recognize what you say as truth (about the food industry and how our bodies are not being fed nourishing...

    Hi Shay, The coconut yogurt sounds wonderful! As did the pumpkin porridge thing I read about somewhere in there. Is acidophilous something I can buy at a local health store? Also, do you know if it is hard making yogurt without a yogurt maker? I have to try it at least once the other way. Then I can justify the yogurt maker! (especially if dh likes...
  25. DMarie
    Thank you for the explanations! I understand the comment about letting a little bit of the wrong foods in ending up being letting too much of the wrong foods in. Years ago, I simply tried limiting gluten - but then I never knew when I crossed the thresh hold of too much - and it became easier to remove it all. Sherry - is there a way to test levels of...
