I am very confused, and my condition changes every day.

I am more likely to eat lower carb than many. It's not necessarily a

conscious choice -- just that most of what I eat is lower carb than other

stuff.

Is it really that low? I've never been able to figure out the calories/carbs for

SCD yogurt on Fitday. Anyone have any ideas?

For straight-up yogurt, I just calculate for the amount of milk used to

make the yogurt.

I've never been able to figure out what the dripped yogurt is, since

you're getting rid of the galactose from the splitting of the lactose

into glucose and galactose, but you're also concentrating the fats and

proteins.

I type in yogurt cheese into my calorie king data base and use those figures. I also use the figures for whole milk yogurt for figuring out yogurt calories--they have to be close--only the carb count is greatly affected, I assume. I just dripped my yogurt for the first time in the one year I have been making it ( loved the original so much, never felt I had to drip it) and I couldn't believe how good it was! Tasted like cream cheese to me. I put it on the 'Everything" flavor Gourmet Wafer Crisp from Kitchen Table Bakers and I closed my eyes and it was like eating an everything bagel with cream cheese!!! Except it was low carb and legal! Life is good.

Hi there,

I too have been going low carb and finding it really works Have you read the

book " Life without Bread " by Dr. Lutz? I've been getting very good results with

it and I'm curious about other people's experiences. I started using the SCDiet

about 10 months ago and experienced some improvements in my Crohn's symptoms,

but I still had flares and bad days. Over the 10 months I kept testing foods and

restricting my diet based on how my body reacted. My diet ended up quite a bit

more restricted than the SCD, but I have managed to find foods that leave me

totally symptom free. No D, pain, gas or bloating (which I had all the time/many

times a day for over 3 years) and no bleeding (which I have had a bit of

occasionally). Eventually I checked the book " Life without Bread " and found that

what I can tolerate matches the Lutz diet almost exactly. It's pretty amazing

how my symptoms have vanished, but if I eat many carbs i get hammered every

time. One thing to note, I'm also using LDN and a bunch of supplements, but

given how much I react to the introduction of carbs every time, I'm pretty sure

it's the diet that's making the biggest difference.

Cheers,

> I would like to know who else is on the low-carb version of scd, to exchange

I have a copy of Dr. Lutz's book, but have not yet had a chance to read

it.

What I do know is that a lower carb, even of the SCD legal carbs, works

better for me, personally.

Many people who start SCD are sugar-holics -- and end up eating large

quantities of the various sweet treats and honey candies, not to mention

fruit and all the higher carb vegetables. This can result in a reduced

rate of healing.

Also, some SCDers have found that they do well with lower-fructose fruits

and reduced honey.

However, SCD is not, per se, a low carb diet. Even low carbs, if you are

eating illegals, will not help you. SCD is about SPECIFIC

carbohydrates.

Can you tell me some of the lower carb fruits and vegetables? I am trying to go

slow with this diet since I have restarted many times. I thought maybe if I

tried some of the lower carbs, I may have better luck. Thanks in advance!

Fruits: apples, avocados, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi, lemon juice, lime juice, papaya, raspberries, strawberries, white grapefruitA lot of people have suggested the low fructose fruits to me, but I don't understand how you get around the seeds. All the berries listed and the kiwi have tons of seeds, and unlike zucchini seeds, which are soft, these are really hard! I'm very confused. It seems like the fruit seeds would be much more of a problem than zucchini seeds, and yet there seems to be a lot more discussion about deseeding the zukes than the fruit. Thanks!
