I'm going nuts!!!! Advice please...

July 23, 2009

I'm trying not to get all negative & post about how hard this diet has been for

me to follow but I can't take it anymore. I know that we're just dealing w/ food

here but I am seriosly losing it. I am not a cryer & I am very embarassed to

admit that I have cryed many times over the past 3 weeks over my diet change. I

think my biggest issue is I can't eat that many foods yet & I can't cook well so

the ones I am eating don't taste too great. In addition to not being able to

cook- I hate to food shop & I have the extra duty of having to feed & care for

my 2 kids & husband along w/ instituting a new way of eating for myself. I am

NOT givig up-I just need to know how others did this. I do feel better but my

stools are still mostly liquid although I am going 80% less now than I was

pre-SCD. That's another issue-why are they still liquid & how the heck do I move

on to more foods. Do I have to wait until a solid BM? I am seriously

considering making the nut butter brownies from the recipes on peacan bread

website but I'm so scared that it's too early. Sorry for all this negativity. I

so don't want to bring anyone else down but I am having such a hard time. I am

snappy & sarcastic w/ my kids all the time now. I'm also tired and sit around

all day when I'm not shopping for SCD food, cooking SCD food, or cleaning up the

mess from cooking a SCD meal. It has taken over my life & it's exhausting. I

know if more obvious results were apparent, I'd feel better about all of this

but it's been going slow & I see very little progress. I seem to have major

die-off issues so had to back off of probiotics so I am not even doing the diet

the way I should be right now since I am not replenishing w/ good bacteria. I

know things will get better but please tell me your stories from the beginning

so I know that others got through it. Thanks.
