Sorry, I forget your first name.

Good for you for doing so much better on LDN.

But be careful! Even on LDN, cheating, or playing

the edges of the diet too much can lead to a setback.

Low-dose naltrexone. See www.lowdosenaltrexone.org

Works extremely well for virtually bowel diseases, all auto-immune

diseases, and MS, ALS, and a number of types of cancer.

-I agree- the reason is that a small bite of something illegal is a feast for

bad bacteria. It's not like a weight loss diet where you can " cheat " once in a

while and then get back on track. On SCD, cheating is just not worth the

consequences.

SCD is for the long run. From BTVC, I infer that one can try adding illegals, a

bit at a time, after 2 years, but some stay completely on SCD longer. It's worth

the wait. (That Starbucks is gonna taste mighty good after 2 years of waiting

LOL). However, even after 2 years some foods may cause difficulties.

Stocker experimented with adding illegals after 2 years. I wonder how

that's going?

Thanks for the responses. It's amazing how the little move to being looser is

met with something to put you in your place. Had a salad in a restaurant with

oil and vinegar. Lettuce and tomato. OOPs. The vinegar was probably

balsamic..........sugar. I'll do better. It is definitely worth it. Thanks

ya'll.

For the folks asking about LDN. Please check that website.

For salads, I take my own dressing along.

I don't think you can ever trust a salad dressing in a restaurant,

not unless they bring you the actual bottles of olive oil and vinegar

and you pour them on yourselves. I always take my own dressing and

generally my slice of chicken, too, because I don't trust that

either! Since I'm not sure about the salad bar either I guess that's

why I haven't actually eaten out for years! But when I did, I just

took a small bottle of salad dressing in my purse, well wrapped in a

plastic bag in case of leakage.

[Guest guest]

A wedge of lemon or lime plus some olive oil and salt make a

nice salad dressing. Those items are generally available in restaurants.

Of course, it has carbohydrates because grapes do -- it's made with grape must, which is a pressing of the whole grapes, including seeds and skins (the skins give grapes most of their flavor, and seeds are phenomenally good for you, very high in antioxidants). Maybe I'm not supposed to be saying this, but I use balsamic vinegar frequently -- the stuff without added sugar, and organic, so the grapes haven't been sprayed with pesticides.

A couple of years ago, I saw some balsamic vinegar at Sonoma at the mall.  It was very, very expensive and I thought SCD legal from the label and talking to staff.  I think it's in the magazine also.  You may want to check online.

If you get the VERY expensive stuff, which has no sugar added, and you

have confirmed this with a physical letter, balsamic vinegar can be

legal. It's just that so much of what is marketed as " balsamic

vinegar " isn't really what they claim.
