Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm new here and wanted to say " Hi. " I found the SCD doing research for a diet for IBS (with C not D). I've had bronchitis and required antibiotics at least a couple of times a year all my life. I have developed allergies to three major classes of antibiotics and my doctor recommended immunotherapy shots to get over the allergies to the antibiotics because there are so few they can give me and it could be life threatening if I develop any more allergies or encounter a resistant bacterial infection. I have had pneumonia three times, sinusitis twice, and strep twice in the last eighteen months alone. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I read Elaine's book and it made so much sense. I've been on a vicious cycle of illness, antibiotics and more illness. I knew I had to try the SCD. So here I am. Also, I was recently diagnosed with ADD-inattentive and I am hoping it will help me with that too. My doctor said I was self medicating with caffeine and carbs. I bought all the SCD cookbooks I could find on Amazon and I am learning a lot from reading all your old posts! Thanks so much, everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Welcome to the group Rose. The people on here are dedicated to SCD and healing. My first bit of advice would be to take it slow. I have Crohn's with C and the diet has helped a bit with that as long as I don't go overboard on high carb veggies, nuts and beans. Prunes have become my best friend. I think SCD will help with ADD too. I know I feel better emotionally than I did 1.5 years ago. There are plenty of websites out there with SCD friendly recipes on it. If you haven't already, see pecanbread.com. They have an introduction stage page. It's not for everyone but it might help. I find a lot of the recipes in the cookbooks are kind of advanced and I have a hard time with them. Mostly because of the nuts. There's also http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes/. I've gotten a lot of great recipes off that page. There is also a Yahoo group for SCD Recipes if you search for it. There is an archive of many many recipes. Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon. Misty Kimble CD - no meds SCD - 19 months > > I'm new here and wanted to say " Hi.
