Re: SCD and microbes

[Guest guest]

Ive been wondering the same thing! what about the good bacteria!

SCD and microbes

,

In " The Book " , Elaine says that " by maximally nourishing the

individual and minimally nourishing the intestinal microbes.......leaves

no food for the microbes, thereby diminishing them "

But what about the good microbes? don't they need food? what do they eat?

Trust me, there's no way for you to sterilize your digestive tract by

following the SCD! There'll always be plenty of food for good bugs

as long as you eat a good, clean diet. What you want to do is choke

back overgrowths -- and even good organisms can cause harm when they overgrow.

I didn't really think so. My question was really a comment on the

simplicity of the statement in the book.

I must say that for the last seven days on SCD there have been some very

noticeable new aspects of my urination which i am hoping is an

indication of some positive changes taking place.. perhaps.some

undesirable organisms gently taking their leave.
