Lynn,

It's probably too early in the diet to be adding those things into your menu.

Try to stick with easy-to-digest foods like squashes (cooked, peeled), green

beans, ripe bananas, applesauce, pear sauce, peeled and well-cooked fruits,

avocados, well-cooked carrots, meats and eggs for right now.

I know it may seem dull and dreary, but check out pecanbread.com for some

interesting recipes made from minimal ingredients.

Chicken pancakes, sneaky veggie pancakes, banana pancakes, are a few

that come to mind.

Enzymes might really help... or maybe start a little more slowly - go back to

the intro diet for a couple of days and start off with mostly protein and add

the more bland, easy to digest cooked veggies like squash, carrots, and cooked

fruit like home made applesauce... but higher protein diet at first should

really help. My son is 5 and has UC - he does best on mostly protein though the

veggies no longer bother him.

I'm new, and need help with SCD!

I have Ulcerative Colitis, and have just started with the SCD program

(about 8 days) , and have a food concern. All of the good

cruciferous

veggies give me stool problems with cramping and gas, so I am having

trouble incorporating them into the plan. I want to stick to this

diet

100% (and plan to, no matter what!), but all of the stuff used to

flavor the foods, like onions, garlic, peppers, cabbage and tomatoes

give me tummy trauma! I want full course, delicious (and nutritious)

foods! Any suggestions? Is this something that my constitution may

get used to? I need ideas!! I am confident this diet will work for

me, since nothing else ever has!

Many thanks-

Lynn
