Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I feel fortunate to find this book, after experiencing worsening problems with low abdominal pain, bloating and constipation/ occasional D. Also fatigue and spaciness, with mega sugar addiction. I have diverticulosis, but no other diagnosis. I have also had several episodes of eczema, which I am now wondering if it's related to GI issues (especially constipation). Years ago I had a test by a naturopath that indicated that I had multiple allergies, mainly to grains and sugar, also dairy. Since I do not have severe symptoms or D recently, I just started on the diet with all foods except the illegals (this is my second day). So far my bloating and pain have decreased. I hope this approach is OK. I will be watching to see which foods cause me problems. I am concerned about eating DCCC and yogurt, because of previous problems with dairy. I realize that SCD yogurt has no lactose, but do people still have problems with the milk proteins? Do I need to just try out the yogurt and see how I do with it? I'm making my first batch now! (BTW, I found this book after pretty severe cramps, constipation, bloat and pain after having a daily protein drink of soymilk and whey protein recommended by a personal trainer. I realized that I just was so confused about what foods would be healthy for me). Thanks! Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You really ought to start with the beginning diet, as it clears out your symptom and gives you a place to start. It's recommended - you only have to stay on for 2 days if you have no symptoms. And add in food slowly. Starting by eating everything at once may prove less effective. There really are no shortcuts with SCD. As for the yogurt try only half a teaspoon at first to find out about whether you react to it or not. If you are reactive to the casein element in milk and not the lactose, you will react to the yogurt. You might also try goat yogurt, as some find that easier to digest as the molecules are smaller.
