Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Have any of you purged your home of SCD illegals after being on the diet for some time? If you did, how far into it did you make that decision? I’m dreading the thought of giving stuff away that I’d stocked up on but can’t have on this diet.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Deb, I have done a " semi-purge " as my husband still eats " normally. " Since starting SCD last July, I've gotten rid of most prepared canned goods, pasta, and bottles of marinade, salad dressings, and all the tons of condiments we used to keep in the refrigerator. Most of my motivation came from the need for more room to store SCD- made food and ingredients in my cupboards and fridge. So far, it hasn't really been a problem except recently when my husband just HAD to HAVE some canned chicken soup. I didn't have any of my own made or frozen, so he had to go to the store and buy some (poor baby). <light sarcasm> I think he was sick and cranky - and unfortunately I didn't have much sympathy (i.e., " Well at least you can just run to the store and buy some, I would have to cook up the chicken and veggies, and let it stew for 4 hours if I wanted chicken soup ... " ) I was actually glad to donate so much food because it was right before the holidays when there were a lot of food drives going on - but I'm sure there are plenty of people who would totally appreciate any food you can't use. I certainly don't miss any of it. (Of course, I miss the convenience but I'm so happy to feel better so consistently that I truly don't think about it too much anymore, except in situations like the one I just mentioned, which are really few and far between.)

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 We got rid of everything before we started. It's to easy for me to say, one more day. This diet does work if your fanatical.

Deb, I got rid of the worst offenders -- donated BAGS of whole wheat pasta and whole wheat flour and... and... and... to family, friends, and the local food bank almost at once after making the decision to go SCD. All the canned stuff went to the local food bank, too. The rest took awhile.... I sure had a hard time giving up some of my convenience food. And I made a BUNCH of mistakes in the beginning, too. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I gave it to friends and relatives. The hardest thing to find a home for were things I was eating on gluten free, before SCD. Think of it as a way to make more room for your new SCD ingredients.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 This is a very difficult choice to make, especially when there are other family members. Our 15 year old daughter has Crohn's. When we committed to SCD, we did a major purge. There are still things around for the other 2 children (14 and 8) to eat. But we wanted to show our support for Cecilia. I gave food away, but threw away stuff that had been opened like the soy sauce, mayo, steak sauce, corn meal etc. Just great rid of the temptation.LaRae Mom of Cecilia - UC 6/06 Crohn's 8/07SCD 2/16/08 SCD illegals purge Have any of you purged your home of SCD illegals after being on the diet for some time?
