A nutritionist who specializes in SCD would be beneficial. A general

nutritionist or dietician would not likely be beneficial. " SCD Solutions " is a

group of SCD counselors approved by Elaine Gottschall. That would be another

good option.

Higher-calorie mild foods would be roast/broiled/boiled meats (like chicken,

turkey, beef, lean pork), eggs and homemade yoghurt. When ready for them,

nuts/nuts butters/nut milks/nut flours would also fuel him longer.

> My boyfriend has had UC for 5 years and we are just learning about SCD

together.  We've both been on the diet for 2 months now (me, just for support). 

He is now on the intro diet for the 2nd time around and is getting very

discouraged.  He doesn't have cramps but the B won't subside.  I'm trying to get

him to see a nutritionist that specializes in SCD, but he is very skeptical. 

Have any of you had success with nutritionists??

hungry.  Any suggestions for high-calorie " mild " SCD foods??

To add to your last response, you can go here

to find an SCD approved counselor on the

"SCD Solutions" list. . Sheila is very

good and she herself has UC. The SCD counselors

on the list will do phone consultations.

Naturopathic doctors can be helpful if you need

testing for things like yeast/pathogenic bacteria/

heavy metals/food intolerances- but be careful

because while they are very supportive of dietary

interventions, many of them are not 100% familiar

with SCD and how to implement/follow the diet,

and may suggest things that are illegal. When

my daughter saw a naturopath, I used the information

she gave me to make my own informed decisions,

and explained to her why we could not do some

of the things she advised. I still considered her

input to be very helpful.
