Re: damage when introducing new foods

[Guest guest]

Others may probably be able to answer this better, but I will share my recent

experience

with you to back up my answer

I think both, but for me...it made my yeast go crazy

I was doing really well adhering to SCD for many months (about 7). I didn't

cheat and I

was content eating a variety of foods that i knew I could tolerate. I had been

virtually

symptom free from the beginning of May because Remicade worked wonders for me.

I

didn't cheat because of that, though. I had been with family for a total of

about 3 weeks

and after a while, away from my home, my big freezer and all of my SCD foods

that i could

grab easily, I became tired of refusing sweet stuff and caved. I ate some. It

tasted really

good, but it made me feel awful and the worst part thats all I craved

afterwards. CARBS

CARBS CARBS. That was all I thought about and for a while, I was eating the

junk! A while

ago, I had to write into the list and ask for an accountability partner to get

over the hump

and leave those cravings and out of control yeasts, behind me. Its much better

now, but

that cheating made my yeasts really really happy. I think it is worse than

inflammation

because I think by eating the sweets, I made my yeasts stronger and hardier, I

am still

trying to get that under control and its been a while. So...don't beat yourself

up, but get

back on the straight and narrow as quickly as you can! Good luck and know that

most of

us, though we might not talk about it, have struggled with this, too. You

aren't alone in

caving, just get back on track and remember WHY you are on SCD. Tomorrow is a

new

day. Thats the great thing about tomorrow...there are no mistakes in it

(paraphrased from

Anne of Green Gables).
