pecanbread.com stages, Advice from experienced SCD appreciated

[Guest guest]

I have been on the intro diet for over a week. but i jumped the gun so i

restarted it in the middle

Very soon i intend on introducing new foods,(eggs, didnt work for me at first,

same with yogurt and apple sauce) i'm using the pecanbread.com guidelines

(stages) to introduce new foods. I am curious about green beans.

it writes:

VEGETABLES

Peeled, deseeded

& well cooked

Green Beans

(Especially French Cut )

Spinach

Zucchini

should i be removing the innards from within the sheath (the beans?), and

leaving just the sheath (or whatever it maybe called) to be eaten?

also, it says cooked, but can they be put on a little bit of oil and then

slightly seared, offcourse after they have been well cooked.. how wel should i

cook them for, can i put them in the oven to make them crispy in a way? (i know

we're all different so i will use caution)

at what stage is tomato juice able to be introduced? Which commercial tomato

juices are legal?

I have sooo many questions, but for now it'll be just that.

I kind of wish i could have a person to talk to thats on this diet and could be

my jedi master....

Thanks for looking and answering.

So keep in mind that the PecanBread stages are a " suggested " guide. It is not

set in stone.. So it there is to help us and educate us figuring things and

gives a good example how to proceed. Since we are all different and have

varying tolerances some of us can intro foods from different stages. Just keep

this in mind if you find you are sailing through or find a stumbling block!

This really depends on your situation and how reactive you are.

What your diagnosis is, main complaint etc...

In general well cooked green beans with the ends and stringy part removed *can*

be enough for people although some would find it way too hard to digest.

Sometimes it is best to steam and puree (I still do this and add a bit of ghee

and sea salt. It is amazing how many things are beyond lovely with ghee and sea

salt!!)

How are you with other veggies? Like what Veggies are you eating now? Do you

have D or C? Cramps? Blood? Let us know and maybe some of us will have ideas

for food prep for you!

I think depending on your situation you should start with well cooked like steam

or boil maybe even bake. See how you do, if it works for you than add some

fancy cooking techniques. Just proceed slowly so you can know what is working

for you..

But yes, in general you can prep it in a variety of ways!

> at what stage is tomato juice able to be introduced? Which commercial tomato

I really don't know about legality and commercial products so someone else will

step in and guide you about this. I use no commercial products.

Marilyn is my Jedi Master.. But you will soon learn that each and every SCD'er

all have the force strong with-in us and we morph into our own Jedi Masters.

I used the book only for the first 6 months to a year because I didn't know there were on-line support groups.  I picked out what I thought I could eat and by trial and error tried some other things (the things I'd never eaten before turned out to be the worst for me). 

 

I'm one of the odd ones on the string beans--I cramp to death no matter how they are cooked.  I can--and could from the beginning tolerate baby lima beans which is considered advanced.

 

Joining the lists really opened up the menu options but I really think it took the first six months of the intro plus a few other add-ins to get me passed the weight loss and other really bad issues I had. 

 

The stages work great for most but a lot of things like pumpkin, butternut squash, etc. kill my guts and they are considered early stage I think.  Try a little of something if you aren't sure, wait a few days and try again.  I still can't eat green sweet peas either.  I actually peeled grapes because I am just now able to walk by and grab a handful to eat them.  The other night I had a green grape, cucumber (made up as I went) salad with poppy seed dressing.  It was awesome just because one of those alone would have bothered me for days but I ate all three in one medium salad without a problem.  Long road but worth it.

Just checking in with all my little stories today.  My first salad that didn't bother me was a Caprese Salad--and it was like mana after so long without being able to eat anything raw or 'real'.

Hi!

> for veggies, i wasnt one to tolerate anything, i have severe UC, meaning i go

to the bathroom at least 7-10 times a day. so i would avoid anything and

everything with seeds or fiber. (except bananas)

OK, I understand!

> Rice used to work like a charm for me, and same with bread, and butter and

cheese would do well as well (but being on the intro diet ive only had 2 bowel

movements today after 18 hours of the 24 hour day.... ive never EVER had it this

low since i got sick over a year ago)

Heh.. rice used to work for me too well, that is at least what I thought! Boy

were those the days!

Unfortunately, all of these items make the dysbiosis worse and cause us to stay

in this horrific vicious cycle. I used to swear by my toast every morning! It

was like crack for me.

Hang in there, it gets better!! The BM's are just the tip of the ice berg.. It

gets so much better.. achieving health it is an absolute miracle.

> right now, i have: chicken broth (homemade), boiled chicken breasts and

thighs, bananas (ripe offcourse), pan seared pork or chicken with a tad bit of

olive oil, homemade apple juice (i use a juicer to extract the juice, so its

more of an apple cider).

>

> I do experience cramping, and urgency, but its much reduced, and FAR LESS

frequent.

>

Awesome!! You're heading in the right direction.. It takes some time and

adjusting...

> I do understand that those are rough guidelines, and offcourse each person is

a little different, but i feel sooo hungry, and sooo tired, i feel i need to

introduce some new things, friday i am going to introduce the yogurt since i

havent been tolerating that ( could be just cause id have like 24oz. a day, and

i had lots of apple sauce as well, over 32 oz. a day....) now i will be much

more cautious.

Yea.. Your ecology is shifting and your digestion is changing.. It's no wonder

you feel tired. This will pass with time.

As for feeling hungry I would add some ghee and maybe some fats to your diet- it

really helps with satiation. Maybe like an avocado and full fat yogurt when you

do try yogurt again!

24 ounces a day is way too much to start out with.

Start with a half a teaspoon. If it works the next day go to a teaspoon if that

works the next go to more etc.

> I will have about 2 tables spoons of the yogurt in the morning and 2 in the

evening for 3 days from friday to sunday, and see how that works, after that i

intend on trying eggs (omlette style. (with cheese, would that be advisable)

So I just explained yogurt intro..

As for eggs.. go for it.. I personally had a lot of D in the begining and eggs

made it much worse.

If you think omlette style is the way to go- do it. Are you eating cheese now?

In general, if you are intro'ing foods do it one at a time with at least 3-4

days in between if you have no symptoms. So if you have not done cheese do not

intro cheese and eggs together.

It takes some patience, but slow and methodically is the way to go because in

the long run you will have far less set backs!!

And you'll be able to retrace your foot steps to know if something triggered you

in a negative way!

> I just fear making a mistake and getting back to 8 BMs a day... cause at that

point i feel i would break and just go out and get a cheeseburger with fries,

and be at least happy about how full i'd feel... this intro period is just

rough, and i have to make all of my own food and i am exhausted after all my

classes finish, and i have grad schools i need to apply to. I know it gets

better, i just want to ease into it right without having to worry about going

back to soup and boiled chicken everyday....

I understand the fear.. I made and continue to make mistakes all the time. It

may happen that you will go back to 8 BM's a day. The wonderful thing about the

SCD is that it teaches us how to help ourselves and what our own starting point

is if we make a mistake.

I made so many mistakes. Some were completely asinine and mindless.. I beat

myself up a lot.. I am really trying to learn to be more gentle and soft with

myself.

The intro period is the PITS! I was on it for 3 months (I cannot believe I

survived it while staying human.. actually I think ape parts started mutating

out of me! Uhh Banana anyone?)

I think one of the most challenging parts of the SCD is the begining and needing

to shop, cook and prep food while being so devoid of energy, strength and

health. It is so incredibly challenging and my heart goes out to everyone going

through this process.

It does get better.. Soon you will have a system down and know your dance.. the

routine will feel *more* normal. I still sometimes go through heavy resentment

at the amount of kitchen time.. So I blare my IPOD, take some aggression out on

the chopping board and hum the mantra " I rather be in here healthy than in the

toilet suffering "

I don't know if the idea of cheese burgers will be a thing of the past for you..

But.. once you start feeling better you'll feel it is just not worth it!

I have a pizza shop on the corner of my building. Sometimes, I just stop and

inhail (no, not like Bill Clinton) and just get high off of the pizza smell.

Interestingly, I have absolutely no desire to eat it.

*sigh*

Hang in there!!

I love just how active this little listserv is... i feel like i am among people

who understand... my girlfriend says she does, and she sort of sympathsizes with

me, but doesnt understand why sometimes id freak out if i ate something with a

food that i know will cause an overnight stay on the toilet.

I have eaten cheese over the last 4 days, i had about 1/2 oz. of cheddar thrice

or twice, I'm pretty sure i tolerate cheese well... but, i am keeping it to a

minimum until i truly introduce it. As far as eggs, maybe i should do a soft

boiled egg instead of scrambled/omlette. The way i intend on introducing foods

is by having it everyday for 3-4 days, and that way if the BM begin increasing i

know for sure this is really too early to introduce it and it wont work. It just

seems that trying it once in a small amount and not eating it for 3-4 wouldnt

exactly make an indentation in the frequency of BMs (i might be wrong)

oh and when i said cheeseburger, i meant with a bun, and sesame seeds, and

bacon... and ketchup lettuce, mushrooms.... mmm five guys cheeseburgers are off

the hook.

but i have come to accept that for now i cant have these things, and i am more

fine with it, if it means sacraficing that, then be it.

I have eaten beef, but i find i dont like it just plain without any spices or

without potatoes or rice, or something starchy (unless its ground beef)

PS. adding some butter and sea salt to boiled chicken, multiplied the taste by

soo much. thanks for that tip, it sure gives a little kick everything.

Interestingly, I have absolutely no desire to eat it.This totally happened to me today! Well, with twizlers. My bro was eating them in the car, and they smelled amazing, so I just took the bag and inhaled, but didn't really have any desire to eat them. Just smelling them was enough. Yay!

I have eaten beef, but i find i dont like it just plain without any spices or without potatoes or rice, or something starchy (unless its ground beef)I actually got extremely sick of plain hamburger patties, but I've found I love pot roast. I just take a roast, brown it in a pan with sage and marjoram (a lot of sage =D ) and then put it in the crock pot with carrots, onion, and garlic. You could put the onions, etc on the bottom if you can't tolerate it so it's easier to pick out I guess. But I've found this to be very tasty.

You may want to try boiled eggs awhile to start.  I still can only do scrambled or boiled but went the first year with boiled only.  That varies with everyone but it never seemed to sit well fried.  A burger with bacon and cheese is as good as a 'real' cheeseburger ;-).

I switched to Ground Bison (that I buy at the farmers market in a whopping

amount- I get a discount) and then once a month my husband grinds a whole bunch

for me and I freeze!

Works so much better for me than eating beef all the time.

Beef is now like something I eat as a steak if I go out to eat! YAY! I can eat

out now! Woohoo!

I make beefalo burgers by using half ground beef and half ground

buffalo (bison). I find that combo easier to digest.
