Anythingto do with die off symptoms perhaps?

Hi Therese,

This was posted a while ago and may help you.

Take care,

Pat

Symptoms of "die off" (AKA the HERXHEIMER reaction) or the "transition":

nausea and sometime vomiting Change in bowl movements Bloating and gas cramping Achy joints and lower back Fatigue Dizziness Headaches Skin rashes Flu like symptoms Low grade fever Mood swings and ASD symptoms can get worse OFTEN mistaken as "food intolerance" to the yogurt.

Remedies to make die off easier:

Warm and long soaks in the tub, at 110 degrees, with Epsom Salts added. Foot soaks with Epsom Salts Added For the short hall. SCD legal Activated Charcoal capsules one hour before or after meals. Getting plenty of fluids. Going to bed. Treating yourself as sick. Hot water bottles or heating pad on the tummy for cramps and gas. Introductory diet needs to be eaten a minimum of two days, and then peel and cook everything. Follow guidelines in book on when to introduce certain foods. Dilute your juices and decrease honey intake. Eat yogurt and acidophilus (as tolerated) to introduce good gut bugs Go to www.pecanbread.com if you are not able to do the yogurt, so that you learn how to do SCD with out it...and introduce it as soon as you are able to.

The SCD yogurt and acidophilus replace the bad gut bugs. There is no powder probiotic on the market that is as powerful as this SCD yogurt. Plus most have illegal bifidus added.

AS SCD starves the bad gut bugs out, and we use the probiotics (yogurt and acidophilus), the bad guys die off. When this happens, they release toxins that make us feel like we have the flu. In BTVC Elaine calls this the "transition". We also often revisit die off at the three month mark (mentioned in the BTVC book). And many say that they have die off again every three months. It gets easier each time...that is if fanatical SCD is adhered to.

We were told to avoid Tylenol or other pain relievers during this time...it adds to this toxic load that the liver is dealing with. CAN make "die off" more miserable, and last longer.

Hey everyone...

Okay... My daughter Kayla (13 1/2 with Ulcerative Colitis) has been on

SCD for 2 weeks now. She is also on weekly Humira injections and 40

mg. of Pred. Stools not all the way formed and still some blood. Not

much pain or cramping. Going to bathroom maybe 2-3 times per day.

Has not gained any weight (is 78 pounds). This morning her face

looked a little flushed which is unusual because she is always so pale

as she is anemic. Took her temp and it was about 100.6. She said

she does not feel sick or anything. Is this usual with SCD? Anything

to do with die off symptoms perhaps? Any input would be appreciated.

I almost dread calling her dr. on this because I know they will talk

about new meds or worse because she is still bleeding,

hospitalization! She got out of the hospital just over two weeks

ago, and still had some blood and it has not gotten worse, but I know

her dr. does not like to see ANY blood. Okay. let me know what you

think and thank you!!

Thanks for posting this Pat....unfortunately I DID give her one

Tylenol (500mg) this morning. Will this make things much worse while

on SCD? Also, she was supposed to get her Humira injection this

morning, but I am holding off because of the fever. Thoughts?
