Re: advancement of diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

Personally the introduction of new foods has been a slow process for

me. I am 5 months into the diet now and still have quite a limited

choice (banana, cooked apple and pear, all meats and fish [not too

much fats and skins] SCD-legal yoghurt [which I drip and make

icecream with] well cooked veg - carrot, courgette, french beans,

peppers, peas, spinach, almond butter, honey, grape juice).

I introduce new foods with a 4-day method (have a tsp of the food on

day 1, nothing day 2. If there are no symptoms then 2-3 tsp on day 3

and nothing day 4. If there are no symptoms/reactions on day 4 then I

can add that food to my safe list.

I introduce new foods based on the stages from the Pecanbread website

(http://www.pecanbread.com/new/scdfoods1.html - you have to scroll

down a bit to find the table).

This is my way and perhaps I am being a little over-cautious but I

feel that the time taken to find my bowel's limits saves causing big

flare-ups that take a week or two to get over.

Each to their own as they say. One thing I have noticed from other

posts on the forum is that everyone's bowels are different, react

differently to certain foods (legal or otherwise) and progress at

vastly different rates.

I hope your own journey is a successful one.

Kind regards,

Mike
