    Banff is limited and REALLY expensive. It caters to the needs of tourists. I'd pick stuff up in Calgary if you can.

    An update. I've now been on the SCD for 4 months. I'm completely off all anti-diarrheals and my weight has finally stabilized. I can now tolerate all well-cooked non-starchy veggies and all well-cooked fruit including berries. Meat, fish, eggs, raw bananas, avocados and FINALLY almond and pecan butter are okay too. I'm eating about 3 jars of almond butter...

    Wow - great pace on the run.

    I'm originally from Calgary, lived in Vancouver for 7 years and now live in Montana. In July, I'll be in the Okanogan for a week visiting my parents (who live just outside Enderby) and then I'll be in Vancouver for a week visiting friends. I wish I could eat grains ie corn, rice etc. - the mountaintop cafe sounds good. Is there somewhere in Vancouver...

    The thought of having worms is gross, but worm eggs are so small you probably wouldn't even notice them when you swallowed them. I think if absolutely nothing worked and I was facing a bowel resection I'd give it a try.

    I almost had that decision to make on a snowshoe trip this winter. I accidentally left my lunch on the table in the morning DUH! and didn't realise it until we were was 7 miles up the trail. I skipped lunch but by 3 pm I was getting really weak and shaky. It was absolutely necessary to eat or I wouldn't be able to walk fast enough that we could make it...

    Try eating high calorie foods healthy fats for snacks ie a banana smothered with peanut or almond butter, avocados are great. Add some olive oil to steamed veggies.

    I've been on the SCD for four months and it's worked for me (gluten free alone did not). I can't tolerate any dairy or until recently nuts, but I get calcium through calcium citrate. This diet is very restrictive and you have to be careful to get all the vitamins/minerals you need. For kids, particularly fussy eaters, it might be better to just go gluten...

    I have collagenous colitis (not celiac) and the symptoms quit when I went off gluten (and other grains). My mother is celiac and many people with collagenous colitis have a first degree relative with celiac. For some people, the inflammation of colitis (including ulcerative or crohn's) may be triggered by gluten. It will be interesting to see when I have...

    I always wonder what the other customers think when I check out at the grocery store with 10 pounds of carrots, a half dozen squashes and a dozen cans beets.

    Right now I react to all starches (including potato and rice) and I am following the specific carb. diet which is no grains whatsoever. I am an avid mountain climber and I train for this by running intervals or a fast-paced trail run once a week, hiking steep hills once a week and doing a long hike (up to 15 miles) once a week. I also rock climb once to...

    For a quick meal after work, I just stab it a few times with a fork, then stick it in the microwave until it's soft. When it's cooked, I cut it open and discard the seeds etc in the the middle. With my microwave, it takes about 5 minutes per pound. Then I drizzle it with olive oil+honey or stuff it with applesauce or with ground beef+tomatoes.

    Caffeine is a stimulant and can cause everything in your body including your intestines to "move faster" which can make diarrhea worse. If your symptoms are under control, you can try it and see how much you can tolerate.

    Thanks! I didn't realise that anyone could use the facilities at truck stops. I can only eat well-cooked fruits+veggies, meat+eggs right now. I'm moving to California this summer and will be spending 3 weeks on the road (Montana to Glacier Park to Calgary to Edmonton to Vancouver to Seattle to Portland to southern California) hiking and visiting family...

    I lost my lab notebook this week and it has three years of work recorded in it. I have looked EVERYWHERE for it. I am finishing up my job in two months and my boss wants to go through it. Of course I haven't made copies of it. So I'm in a total panic. So far I have managed to evade my boss. I'm hoping I can find my book before my boss finds me.

    Right now I'm on the SCD and dairy free. So DF, gluten-free, SF etc. I eat mostly well-cooked non-starchy fruits+veggies, meat, nut butter and eggs. So far (4 months) feeling great. I do plan to gradually add things back in to see what I can tolerate.

    I would second the fructose intolerance. It can give diarrhea, bloating, cramps, etc. Try reducing your fruit intake including juice to 4 or less servings per day. Is it just the minute maid brand?
  18. corinne
    Dry curd cottage cheese is lactose free, but does contain casein. So if she is just lactose intolerant, it would be ok.

    It's no fun eating ricecakes while everyone is eating your favourites. It's a lot easier if you have things to eat like everyone else. If you or your parents make burgers or pizza for dinner, make some more so that you can take them for lunch (you can have both gluten free). You can make gluten free gooey brownies or cupcakes or find a chocolate bar you...

    I tried spaghetti squash for the first time last night. I made a sauce with ground elk, spinach and tomato paste. It's so good. I can't eat rice or corn so I happy I found a substitute for pasta.

    Unfortunately, I get sick even from clarified butter. I guess there is traces of casein left. I'll try the half mild olive oil/half grape seed. Gluten free etc has been good in that it has forced me to learn to cook. I'm still pretty new at cooking (3 months) and this recipe looks ambitious - but hollandaise is SOOOO good that I'll give it a try.
  22. corinne
    I have been on the SCD for 4 months. I would strongly recommend starting with gluten free/dairy free and keep a diary of your symptoms. Your symptoms will probably start improving in a few months not days. If after a few months gluten free, you're not getting any better, then you need to look at other food sensitivities such as soy or eggs or nightshades...

    The disabled horse back programs are awesome too. It is amazing to see kids with no mobility get their first taste of freedom. It's great too for kids with mental disabilities; they often seem to connect better with animals than they can with people.

    There's very few foods that I can eat and green veggies go straight through my system. I haven't eaten anything green for 3 months. I went rock climbing two weekends ago and by the next day, my legs looked liked I'd been hit by a truck. I had bruises about 5 inches in diameter. I finally got an idea and put very well cooked spinach in the blender with...

    I can't tolerate butter (too much casein) or margarine (corn, safflower etc intolerance). Can you make hollandaise with olive oil instead? It's my favourite sauch for fish and I really miss it.
