Need More Guidance re: undigested foods- UC Newbie

March 17, 2008

Hi!

Again, I have more concerns:p Thanks for all your responses to my

questions thus far, it has really helped!

I am concerned though, because my BM's in the mornings have gotten

looser the past 3 days in particular and this morning I noticed some

undigested food, which has me really worried as I have not had this

in awhile and am worried I am doing something wrong? A previous

reply about the color changes in my BM's said to be cautious

of " undigested foods " and so I am worried! I have only been eating

the Intro-chicken soup, carrots, green beans, eggs, pureed butternut

squash, gelatin squares, and baked fish. The only thing I can think

of is that 3 days ago, I tried 2 bites of Farmers cheese moistened

with a tiny bit of homemade yogurt..could this be the cause of this

undigestion going on? It seems like I had soo little and I didn't

have any problems right afterwards, so i thought it would be ok. I

also had a piece of salmon last night for the first time since

starting the diet, but am usually able to tolerate this well.

I am mainly concerned because I am underweight as it is and have lost

2 more pounds since last week and I am scared to eat anything, today

all I had was eggs, chicken soup (without carrots), baked fish, and

gelatin squares. I can't lose any more weight and my Doctor is only

on board for this diet if I don't lose more weight! I am also

extremely exhausted and have no energy, but I feel like I am scared

to eat anything to make things worse and because I don't want to

start the steroids again! I really believe in this diet, but am just

unsure what to do at this point and I don't want my Doctor to go

against it either

Any suggestions?

If it may be the yogurt, should I start acidolphilus pills instead?
