Try an digestive enzyme with you rmeal, their are many to choose from, try and get one that is low in protease

Hi Mara:

Thank you so much for your response. Before I became sick, I ate only foods that were gluten free, now I am eating only according to the SCD diet which is still gluten free. The first five weeks were great but once the nausea started again, I became concerned that I moved on too quickly to other stages so I stopped eating nuts and nut flour for a couple of days but have found no improvement. Yesterday and today I have gone back to the basic intro stage. I wake up feeling fine but once I start eating, the nausea returns, even with just water. I ate two boiled eggs and a slice of the cheese cake recommended in the intro diet for breakfast today and felt fine but once a couple of hours passed, the nausea returned. I will wake up tomorrow feeling fine again but have the nausea by afternoon, this has been happening for about five days. I am not currently taking any supplements.

thanks,

Lorraine

Hi Lorraine,Welcome to SCD and the

list.This could be a range of things. Nausea from die-off, re-experiencingof symptoms you went through on your way to getting better or a reactionto something you ate retriggering bacterial infection. And I'm sure

otherthings as well.Please be more specific about what you are eating in general, andwhat you ate specifically before the nausea began. And probiotics andsupplements you are taking.Meanwhile, for the nausea, ginger tea is helpful, I've found. Hot water

infused with fresh ginger with or without honey. Or ginger in tonic water.Also, go back to basics with eating chicken soup or bone broth andsimple level 1 foods.Mara
