Re: How long to stay on intro when diarrhea is still present

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I didn't really notice improvement in my stool until I added yogurt,

which was 2 months in. I simply didn't tolerate it until then. I still

rarely have a normal stool maybe once a week, but a definite

improvement. Seems a lot depends on how many veggies of any kind I eat,

carrots included. Any vegs make me looser.

Hope this helps-

I'm new to SCD too and having the same problem as . However,

I've

been on the diet for 5 weeks!! I've lost 14 pounds which would be

great except I was underweight before. I thought perhaps I was

eating

too much almond flour products as they are SOOO good and I was SOOOO

hungry. I cut that out on Saturday and haven't noticed a

difference.

Perhaps it is too soon to tell. I feel like I'm still on the intro

diet except that I eat ripe bananas, cooked apples and cooked carrots

and green beans. Still eating the soup. I've had this diarrhea for

2

years with none of the medications working. Guess I was hoping this

diet would be my miracle drug. Am I just too impatient?? I have 2

small kids so I don't have the time to go back and read the archives

to

see others in similar situations. Any encouragement or advice would

be

great!

Thanks.

Though you still have D, have you noticed any change(s) in your

system (tiny, small or big)? Or is absolutely everything exactly the

same?

What are you eating?

Have you had any symptoms of die-off (though the tiredness may well

be a part of that.)

Is it possible you are inadvertently using illegals in small ways (spice

mixtures, vanilla with sugar, yogurt starter with pectin - just to name

a few things that are easy to slip by)?

What are your other symptoms?

Etc.
