    Uggh - I've been gluten free for almost 3 years and can only eat bananas (raw), avocados (raw), canned apricots and well-cooked carrots, green beans, spinach and mushrooms. Mind you, I have a type of colitis, not celiac.

    I've been a variation of the SCD (no dairy, no nuts, no beans) for 1.5 years. I have colitis, though, and not celiac. Every time I try to go off the SCD I get sick. I tried potatoes at Christmas, tapioca in march and rice in May and got sick all 3 times.

    It's pretty accurate for me. I'm happiest in my lab discovering new things or outside climbing mountains. I just don't like too much pressure or too many people/noise. you are lightgrey Your dominant hue is red... you are passionate, energetic, and unafraid of life's changes. You're all about getting out and trying something new, even if it means taking...

    I don't tolerate raw fruit yet (except for bananas) so canned fruit works well for me. Applesauce and canned peaches go down easy and have no peels/seeds. Some fruit that are fibrous ie pineapple can be hard for some people too. Cruciferous veggies ie cabbage, broccoli, etc. can be tough to digest.

    Yes, Pepto Bismol is the first line of treatment for microscopic (collagenous or lymphocytic) colitis. I have this type of colitis and was on high dose (8 per day) pepto. The bismuth is anti-microbial, but is also anti-inflammatory. My symptoms completely disappeared on pepto. After about a year, peptobismol quit working for me and I was then switched...

    I too have colitis (collagenous) not celiac. My mother has celiac. These diseases can be distinguished by endoscopy. I went gluten free (and soy, casein free and no nuts, fibrous veggies etc. for the colitis) and my symptoms improved tremendously. I am now symptom free about 90% of the time. It should be noted though that a gluten free diet does not work...

    Loraleena has a good point. I didn't see that you had been gluten free for only a month. I would wait until you have been gluten free for at least 3 months and probably a year without improvement before trying the diet. Dairy free and maybe eliminating other common intolerances should be tried before the SCD. Although D resolved quickly on the SCD, I still...

    I just got back from a 3 day, 31 mile backpacking trip and I can't eat any grains (including rice and corn), no dairy, no eggs, no sugar, no soy, no nuts, no dried fruit etc. So it is a bit heavier, but doable and still fun. I cooked a whole bunch of carrots and green beans before I left, put them in the deep-freeze and then packed them in a tupperware...

    A frozen bag of peas etc. gives some temporary relief although don't put it on so long that the skin gets too cold and causes more damage.

    Happy Canada Day! I now work in California and I was homesick this morning. I play the organ at church and we started the service with the US national anthem because of the 4th this week and I lost it. I made it through the song and fortunately the organ is tall enough that noone could see the tears. I miss home.

    Incredible. Especially the one foot holding the fish. That's amazing that you caught that on film.

    Just a minor correction: lactose is a sugar not a fat.

    Yummy! I'm a transplanted Canadian living in California. When I was little, my uncle in Nanaimo used to claim that it was a family recipe. I can't wait until things settle down someday and I can make them (can't eat any grains including rice plus no chocolate, dairy, soy or sugar)

    I eat sardines for breakfast. Definitely not everyone's idea of a great way to start the day, but no soy.

    I've been on a variation of the SCD for 1.5 years. It should be noted that I have collagenous colitis not celiac although the two conditions are related. I don't eat any nuts or dairy either. My symptoms resolved fairly quickly on the SCD. No D after about 2 weeks. I've tried going off the SCD, but I seem to react very strongly (vomiting, D) to even potatoes...

    Thanks for the suggestion. The taste isn't bad, just the texture.
  17. corinne
    That's an idea. I haven't tried the foil pouches - I assumed they were the same as the cans. Thanks!

    There's not a solution to this problem, just want to vent. I'm heading out to the field in two weeks to do research. I just started last September as a professor and this will be the first time I'm directing a field work project. I'm really excited about the trip, but I'm dreading the diet. I finally have my symptoms under control most of the time, by...

    What a relief to find your dog again! My friend's black lab loves to run while we ski and a few times when the snow has been crystally, she's gotten pretty sore paws. Bag balm (used on cow udders) works great on dog paws too. My friend has tried the shoes, but her dog will sit down in the snow and won't move until her feet are free.

    I seem to be intolerant of (besides gluten) dairy, soy, nuts, most cruciferous veggies, high amounts of fructose, all grains including corn+ rice, beef, pork and potatoes. My symptoms are stomache cramps followed by vomiting, then intestinal cramps and finally 4-8 hours of D. So pretty much the same as gluten. I stick to making a simple meal in the evening...

    Sure, but the body of the first post reads slightly differently.

    Murph - the thread started with the notion of disproving the SCD on the basis that Gottschall states that starch not gluten is the cause of celiac disease. Gottschall's book does not make this statement and the celiac disease chapter in her book is focused on those individuals who do not respond to a gluten-free diet. It states that starch may also be associated...
  23. corinne
    From my reading of Gottschall's book, the SCD is for those for whom a gluten-free diet alone does not relieve symptoms (p.43). A cure means relief from symptoms, not necessarily that celiac disease disappears. The theory in the celiac chapter suggests that starch may be involved in gluten intolerance, not that it alone is the cause of damage in celiac disease...

    That would be fun. For some reason, noone wants to share my meals.

    Open Original Shared Link has great info including fructose content of almost all foods. And it's free.
