Yes, as healing advances, inflammation ought to reduce, unless something else is going on as well. Mara SCD 8.75 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Sandy, I've been on SCD for one month now and I am severely lactose intolerant. The good news is that I can tolerate small amounts of the hard legal cheeses. The bad news is that I cannot tolerate the dccc or yogurt, not even the goat's milk yogurt. I started with just 1 tsp. per day but by the time I got to 1 Tbspn, I was not feeling well at all. I just got some dairy free Lactobacillus Acidophilus capsules (took my first half a dose yesterday and all seems to be well). Plan B is to try making yogurt from almond milk or coconut milk. I hope I can get to goat's milk in a couple of months. My advice to your friend is to be very cautious with food made from " the fruit of the cow. " I'm happy to chat directly with her if she wants to mail me off list. Sue scd one month > > The other question is this.....my friend said she is just about ready in her mind to start the scd diet. She has Celiac disorder. This may be a silly question, but If she is lactose intolerant...she sould still be able to follow the diet by eatting little amounts of the legal cheeses, dccc and yogurt right? I told her that I thought the way that we make our yogurt that there is minimul lactose right? and should she use goats milk then? > > I want to get help her with the correct information. > > Thanks > sandy > uc since 2004 > scd almost 3 months > > > > > --------------------------------- > Looking for last minute shopping deals?
