Introduction of foods question

[Guest guest]

First off, I wanted to say thank you all for your responses to my

coffee condiment questions and the Austin/Houston restaurant

suggestions. Your responses are a wealth of knowledge for me. I have

had UC for 6 1/2 yrs. As many know it comes and goes and there have

been times where I have absolutely no symptoms. When I started the

SCD diet three months ago I was still on Prednisone (and tapering)from

my worst flare yet. My symptoms were already dissipating due to the

Prednisone so I was worried that once off Prednisone my symptoms might

come back. Aside form a cement feeling in my stomach in eating almond

flour (something I never ate pre SCD), I pretty much have not had any

reactions to food while being the diet or prior...aside from UC

symptoms of which i could not tag to any one specific food or foods.

I see comments from people who say when introducing food, to try the

new item and see if you have a reaction. This somewhat confuses me -

if I did not have a reaction to some foods in the past (pre SCD intro)

then why would I have a reaction now? Also, how much time should I

allow in introducing a food before I know it is safe and can move on

to another food item? A week? A month? Thanks in advance for your help.
