Re: Re: assistance for beginning SCD

[Guest guest]

Marla, please don't freak out about things, ask like you just did. This diet is about healing the gut and everyone's gut is different, our reasons for being on this diet are different and our gut bacteria make up is different. Information being shared may not be pertinent to your daughter. I read everything for knowledge, save what I might use in the future and delete what I don't need to know. There's nothing that I've found that can tell me more about how these diseases REALLY work then the people on this site.

When I first came to this site, Grammy Gay sent me this:

FLARES http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/flares.htm

ELAINE WROTE:*After three months period relapses-do this when it is really bad: for 2 days A.M./P.M. Take two cups or one pint tepid water. 1/2 tsp salt.ELAINE WROTE: *It is common during the first year, and especially so with UC but can bewith Crohn's, to have flares. Usually, with UC, it is a big one about the 3rd month. Yet there are those with UC who just progressed quite nicely without a big flare. It is also common to have, even without bowel disease, a day or so when the "tummy" is upset.ELAINE WROTE: A short round of prednisone wouldn't be a bad idea during that period.

and

Do you have the book: "Breaking The Vicious Cycle", by Elaine Gottscahll? If not

get it from your library or http://www.scdiet.com/ Chalmers SCDiet@... see the other SCDiet legal cookbooks, vitamins, etc. "Without the book, it is not possible to successfully practice the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ per Elaine Gottschall.

The most important thing to do is to follow the guidelines in BTVC chapter 9 and 10. Please get a highlighter pen and literally study those pgs.

Pg 69 Basic Diet.see the note about the eggs at the bottom of this pg.. Use the Intro diet is on Elaine's website till you get your book from the library or http://www.scdiet.net/ Chalmers SCDiet@...

Or use this till you get your book:

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_intro_diet2.htm

and only do this for 2-5 days only. Here are some important things to remember: Intro diet is imperative to start with to help get rid of the double sugars, complex starches, and grains out of our systems that we can not digest..

The transition to SCD can cause a "die off" reaction in some of us. This is a flu like symptom...can cause aches and pains...nausea. This is caused by the bad gut bugs starving off...SCD doesn't feed them since all the legal foods are SCD foods are easy to digest leaving nothing behind for bad gut bugs to ferment and dine on. You may find that stool color changes during the course of the introductory diet. The "die-off" of bacterial overgrowth, which is one of the reasons the introductory diet is so important. It will help to clean your system out, so that you can begin to heal.

Search Elaine's Website: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/Search/search.htm

for answers. DCCC is found on the Legal and Illegal list under D. Or drip the SCdiet yogurt for recipes if you can not find the DCCC. The reason we want to use the DCCC is to save your yogurt for smoothies, cheesecake, because if we bake or freeze the yogurt some of the good bacteria dies.

Have the children see this video so they can explains why they can not eat certain foods: *Elaine's Videos: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/Elaine/Elaine.htm

Elaine didn't want us supplementing nut flour for the breads and cookies you are giving up. I do believe that the max is only three muffins or the equivalent a day. And not any other nut recipes that same day because too much on one thing can cause symptoms.

It is not easy... but this diet works if you work it by the book. The book is not that complicated, some complain about this...but you know it doesn't have to be....

KISS "keep it simple sweetie".

Take extra accidolphilus, [Lyo-san] one with meals and a good legal Freeda multi vitamin and B complex....Freeda Elaine approved... and Calcium... which can be gotten from The Store: http://www.scdiet.com/store/index.html The first SCDiet Web Site.

E-mail SCDiet@... Chalmers or Lucy's http://www.lucyskitchenshop.com/

You might want to use methyl B 12 shots or the nasal spray.

Sometimes we need the medicines to take for pain, etc. under the doctors care and to save our lives. We are not doctors, but can tell you what we take to feel better. Sometimes we need surgery to live. Stay on the SCDiet.

*We keep adding new doctors as they are sent to us! The list is organized alphabetically by state, etc..
