Re: Anyone not tolorate the SCD Yogurt?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have 4 months in and somewhere about the 3 month marker the same thing

happened to me with the yogurt. Eventually, it became eggs and pretty much

everything I put into my mouth except the intro diet. I went back to the intro.

I gave up the yogurt and felt immediate relief but there was an immense

difference once the chicken soup was added in. The chicken soup began healing

the discomfort within a day. I kept it up with meat patties and eventually

added in some level 1 foods found at

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/recipes.html

I have to tell you welches grape juice and seltzer water in a winde glass made

me feel like I was having something fancy. I guess everyone needs to be a

princess!!

It has only been a week and I have been able to add tomatoes, soup, cellary into

my soup while I make it. I have been able to eat Peanut Butter. I don't have

well formed stools yet, but it is not a painful water fountain anymore.

It may be different for me because I have UC. I strongly suggest the chicken

soup as per the intro instructions. The bone marrow in the chicken is a natural

anti-inflammatory and may help allieviate the symptoms. I have not

re-introduced the yogurt but will try again either after I have better well

formed stools or my doc off the support list on

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/support/support.htm

has given me the go ahead. If you have the opportunity to see one of these SCD

experienced Docs I strongly suggest you do. I believe I lucked out with mine.

I will cross the can't tolerate yougurt bridge if the re-introduction doesn't

work out. I can tell you I am hesistant and almost scared to try again, but

know that in the begining the yogurt was a God Send.

As I take it slow I will think of you. I have your symptoms for about 7 weeks

and have had to increase my meds from 1 pill twice a day to 5 pills twice a day.

Sometimes we have to step back to go forward. I am sorry it took me so long to

surrender and go backward.

> I have been on SCD since 8/6/09. For the first month I was making very good

progress and my CD was almost symptom free. After the first month my yogurt

maker arrived and I started making SCD yogurt exactly as instructed. For the

past two months my digestion has not been as good with pain, gas and cramps

after eating. I still have very occasional D, maybe once a week at most. I have

started taking S boulardi. I know it may be the 2-3 month flare but it is going

on a long time. I read that CD is a two year " cure time " . I follow the diet

with the required " fanatical adherance " . I have BTVC and am sorry that the

author has now passed away. I would have loved to Thank her. After 30 plus years

of CD I discover that there is a diet that makes a big differene after all.

July 2008 my CD came back and I lost 30lbs bringing my weight to 150lbs. (I am a

6ft man.) Right now I am not too concerned about gaining the weight back, I

think this will come with healing.

do not tolorate it. I have noticed that the cheesecake does not seem to agree

with me, even though it is listed on the Intro diet. Maybe I just need to be

more patient with this diet.

such a big part of SCD.

This is a great forum.
