Relapse after 3 months on strict SCD

[Guest guest]

anyone else have a relapse after 3months of being on the SCD diet? I have been

strict with

SCD and don't even eat cheese, honey or nuts yet I am currently suffering from a

horrible

relapse. In fact things are worse than ever. Any advice? Or anyone experience

anything similar?

This is the 3 month flare. It occurs to some people,

not to others. Elaine wrote that she was unsure

of the reasons, but some have theorized,

it could be that having killed off

some of the bad bugs a new bunch has emerged

to wreak havoc and cause more disbiosis. Or it

could be something else.

Go back to the intro diet and start over, being

very careful of what you eat and introduce. You

may have to eliminate some of what worked

for you previously, depending on what's wrong

with you. (Words you want to hear, I know!)

In my own case, I've found out that severely

limiting fructose is quite helpful. But everyone

is different, and it depends, once again on what

is wrong with you.

Hi Stacey,

Wow, I was just going to post about my own problems. I've been trying

to taper my prednisone for 2 months with little luck and have finally

made an appt. with my GI doc to discuss other options.

Personally I am not worse than ever, but my symptoms are gradually but

surely coming back. I've been cutting back on my foods, not all the way

to intro, but I'm afraid I may have to go there. It seems that I'm not

always reacting to things but when I do---

The folks at work noticed that I'm holding my tummy again, which I

havent done in 2 months. It is sooo frustrating to backslide--

Let me know how you are doing and know that you aren't alone.
