Re: dripped v non-dripped?

[Guest guest]

Hi Tom,

I would say that it's the cheating that is giving you problems. Every time you

ingest something SCD illegal, you feed the bad bacteria. We want to starve

them...

Do you have a food diary? You will need to try different foods (and

supplements) a little at a time and write the results. Write everything and go

slowly. Eventually you'll figure out what works for you because we are all

different.

Good luck,

GERDS and chronic C.

I'm

thinking it must be the yogurt, though, since the cramping starts fairly

soon

after eating.

Well, we've all had our moments of weakness. The trick is not to beat

yourself up over it -- and not to blame SCD when it may be long term

effects of the illegal.

Remember that the idea of SCD is to starve the bad bacteria out. So the

weak ones die first. Then you shove in a load of their favorite food. The

stronger ones reproduce, and the population is that much harder to starve

out.

Now you are putting in probiotics, which battle the bad bacteria (whom

you just fed) for space. Is it surprising that your gut is having fits

with the Battle of the Bacteria going on down there, and the bad bacteria

dying off, and complaining, and demanding their accustomed food?

Some people take only probiotics. Some people do only yogurt. Some people

do both. I tend to go back and forth. I always have Lyosan on hand. I

take s. boulardii regularly. When I have yogurt, I eat yogurt. When I

don't, I do the Lyosan.

I did about 90% yogurt prior to Hurricane Katrina. Then, after the storm,

even once power was restored, I couldn't count on consistent power to

make yogurt, so I did mostly Lyosan. Now it's whenever.
