please help! Not sure if the diet is working, been SCD for one month...

[Guest guest]

No one on my medical team has even heard of this diet and this site is the best

place for support for me...I'd love to hear from those who have turned the

corner to see if my experience is normal. After almost 1 month, my energy is

better but my stools have really not improved that much.

I have been dx celiac (7 yrs) and type I diabetes (1 yr) AND chronic D with

unknown cause. My sed rate now is 73, so there is clearly active inflammation in

my system.

I've been on the diet for a month and noticed slight changes in my BM (but

unfortunately, not the frequency). Because of the diabetes I have learned a lot

about carbs, and how the average person needs 130g for the body to have enought

energy. So I've been doing the intro diet with bananas and applesauce so that I

have carbs. I've also just started making my SCD yogurt (hope I'm making it

right). I had visitors during my 3rd week and ate SCD-legal foods, but

definitely outside of the intro diet guidelines. Can I still consider that as

adhering to the diet or am I making glaring errors in my food choices and not

seeing the results I want. Please help!
