Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Eileen, I hate to say it but pre SCD if I ate your almost pure protein diet I would have gastro-paresis also. You could ask the doc for some reglan (metclopromide), or try slowly adding in some vegs, like super soft cooked peeled zucchini, acorn squash, pureed stuff. I still see stuff in my poop but, at least its going through.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Eileen - I was glad to see you're using the BTVC-SCD Yahoo forum. It's really an excellent group. Do you know about the Healing Crow site too?: healingcrow They're good for GI questions that aren't strictly related to SCD. I too have a weight loss issue; I'm 5'2 " and went from 97 or 98 pounds to 91 pounds in the first few months of SCD - my husband and friends got very concerned. I'm now about 94-95 pounds, mainly by consciously adding fats and proteins: cheddar and Swiss cheese, avocado, coconut and olive oil and sometimes butter, full-fat home-made yogurt (you can also try half-and-half for yogurt but I haven't), dripped yogurt or DCCC (Friendship brand farmer's cheese) and also increasing fruits like figs, dates, and raisins (if you can handle that much fructose - start by cooking them in water), and of course ripe bananas and cooked apples and lots of almond bread (about 3 slices a day) and winter squash (I love butternut squash). Just start slowly and don't overdo any one food. Digest Gold enzymes may help with digesting some of this stuff. At first I was worried about cholesterol but I also take Inositol Hexaniacinate ( " flush-free Niacin " ) and Policosanol and my cholesterol has actually gone down. I started making yogurt in little custard and yogurt cups on a warming tray which worked very well once I adjusted the temperature right, but it was tedious. Now I use the Yogourmet yogurt maker, which is much easier and makes either one or 2 quarts at a time; it comes with a thermometer and a muslin bag for dripping yogurt, and I use the Yogourmet starter. I found the best price at Vitacost.com. For heating the milk, I use a heat diffuser because my stove is too hot (I think I got it a Miles Kimball or Carol years ago) and stir it a lot. The other interesting thing about SCD is that I used to have mostly unformed stools and had to limit fruits, but now I have to make sure I eat enough fruit (especially figs) or bulky foods (winter squash, mangos, almond bread) to prevent constipation. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 You can use the farmers cheese to make cheesecake, " Lois Lang's Lucious Bread " , zucchini lasagna, and many other recipes, or eat it plain, on almond bread, or mixed with cooked fruit. One of my favorites is to add it to an omelet, so it's like a cheese-filled crepe or blintz. > > just bought farmers cheese - what do you put it on/with?? > eileen 4 weeks > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
