S. Boullardi or almond flour causing problems?

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

I have been on SCD for 7 weeks and have been adding foods slowly with no

problems at all. I decided to try almond flour (Honeyville). So late last week

I made muffins and intended on just eating one but they were so good, I ended up

eating 3. I felt fine, no symptons. Two days later I ate 3 pancakes made with

almond flour and was fine. The next day i started 1 capsule of S. boullardi. The

following day I had 2 more almond flour pancakes and experienced terrible

indigestion just after about 5 bites. Two days later I ate 2 more almond flour

pancakes and had just a bit of indigestion shortly after eating. Can

indigestion be caused by the S. boullardi or does it sound like i cannot

tolerate almond flour. All other foods that I have been eating I have

experienced no problems whatsoever so I'm a little confused by the indigestion

feeling. Indigestion was never one of my symptons, my diagnosis is Crohn's, LGS

& high levels of candida. Can anyone share some of their thoughts about this

situation?

Thanks,

Holly, We have found that if we have one little exposure that it doesn't do

much, but if it builds up over a few days and hits the lower gi...then we

sometimes have issues. Also, I would think you could try the s boullardi without

almond flour for a few days and see what happens. Every time we start a new

probiotic, we have an initial reaction in our house and then it tapers off. It

may be that you are causing an uproar in your gi and putting an extra load of

digestion on it at the same time. Maybe if you acclimate to the probiotics

first you can reintroduce almond flour slowly then. Unfortunately we don't

tolerate nut flours in our house. boo
