  1. I am glad to know you are feeling better today. Thanks for the tip on the grapefruit seed extract, I am going slow on it. It is wonderful to feel better and to know that I am healing after such a long time of doubt.
  2. I thought about what I said in regards to being strict in the beginning and wanted to say more. For the first two months of the diet I ate cheese and yogurt made with cow's milk, it did not agree with me but I stubbornly kept eating it thinking, well the diet says I can have it.... Finally I realized that I would have to give it up and did, and then...
  3. Hi. I suggest a very simple diet in the beginning, I can't help you with the additive lists as I avoid all processed foods. Sorry. As for your upset stomach perhaps some peppermint tea to help settle it, many people find the first little while difficult in a variety of ways. It is overwhelming at first but it will get easier and you will feel...
  4. Please, if you haven't looked into the risks of Paxil, please look into them. I have known two people who went through a terrible withdrawal trying to get off it. There are other medications that are not so dangerous.
  5. Thank you so much for your posts, it so helpful to have the perspective of someone who has been on the diet longer. I appreciated knowing that my hunch that the C returning was a positive sign of the diet working. I found that I increased my protein intake when I was first ill, it just seemed that was what my body wanted but recently I am finding...
  6. I have found cabbage juice helpful, when I was most ill I bought a case of cabbage and juiced it everymorning until I could no longer drink cabbage juice. I don't think it is a quick fix though, I think of it more as a support for wellness.
  7. Hi. Perhaps you have healed enough that it won't be an issue for you, I had problems with gluten for many years but when I hadn't had any for a long time I could handle a bit, if I kept eating it though it did become a problem again. I hope this passess quickly for you.
  8. I was in severe pain for a long time after going gluten free and dairy free, I finally realized that the simplest diet worked best for me and I cut out all grains and processed foods, I also added probiotics to my diet. The reality may be that having been sick for ten years it may take quite a while for her to heal. Once our digestive systems collapses...
  9. I found the article on Medscape but didn't register, is there a link available other than registering for yet another site? As to one or two sentences, it was a little longer than that but truly do some research on research and you will find many studies that are clearly without any concern for the participants.
  10. I have problems with all grains but since I started the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) I no longer miss them. I do my baking with almond flour. I have seen studies that suggest some do not heal on only a gluten free diet but perhaps this is just a stage and you will be able to reintroduce them later on.
  11. Sorry you are suffering. It is difficult in the beginning, I suspect it was the meat but who knows it could have been something else. In the beginning it is often most helpful to stay with the simplest of foods. I always tell people that I will bring food and please not to make anything for me because I am such a pain. I hope you are feeling...
  12. My point would be that the damage observed in the biopsy is a symptom. Do you think parents wouldn't be concerned about the fact that there was already damage present? I do agree with you though it is possible that parents would agree, after all, we are well trained to trust doctors.
  13. Jan I think Elaine Gottschall said it was necessary to be fanatical with the SCD but I think we all just have to do the best we can. I fudge on the coffee, I just refuse to drink weak coffee and last week I took a Tylenol because I burned myself really badly and that pain on top on the digestive pain was too much. The Tylenol helped and I didn't seem to...
  14. Hi. Gluten free pasta is definitely a processed product, as far as unprocessed you could add fish, nuts and whole grains like rice, buckwheat, amaranth, etc. to your list. My understanding is that processed is anything that has been taken from its' raw/basic state and changed I eat unprocessed foods except for goat milk yogurt which I make...
  15. Biopsy proven would indicate damage to me, is damage not a symptom? I would be interested in knowing the parameters of this study, did the parents of all the children know? I am just imagining the researcher talking to the parents of the children without "symptoms". As in..... We would like your child to participate in a study, we have found...
