I sure hope you mean 2 steps forward and 1 step back, or we're all in a barrel

of trouble ;-)

back.. that is EXACTLY how it worked for me.. and then one day it was like

I am so sorry you are experiencing an increase in symptoms. That must be a real

bummer considering you didn't have many coming in.

Thing is sometimes with gut dysbiosis we get worse before we get better and boy

I wish that wasn't the truth.. Royally sucks. Hang in there though.. It is

well worth it.

The idea of the intro is just to give our body extra rest to like boost the

healing process.. I understand your logic as to why you didn't do the intro but

since you are experiencing symptoms I would totally do it now and make it very

simple and progress.. Yo might actually be able to move along quickly which

would be a nice thing.. I on the other hand was like slower than a drunk

turtle. LOL.

The dried mango or any fruit but mango is especially chewy is a huge red flag

for me along with the almonds. I also would be careful of raw veggies and peels

and seeds like Katy said.

The SCD is a very well balanced and healthy lifestyle. You don't need a salad

every day to stay healthy.. Although I certainly understand that point of view

as I have always been fond of the raw food lifestyle. It's just our guts need

to heal completely as undigested food feeds the bad bugs... So just think about

it this way.. it's not that you won't eat salads it's just that you will eat it

when your dysbiosis is under control and you are better.. Then you will actually

be able to utilize those nutrients.

It took me just about 2 years on the diet and surgery to work up to well

strained green juiced which give me a total jolt!! Love it.

I ate what would be considered pretty healthy pre-SCD. Lots of organics. But

being on this diet I have learned that places like Whole Foods, Trader Joes,

health food stores just basically have " better quality " junk food even what

appears to be pure and healthy. I was pretty grain heavy prior to the diet.

The grains even heirloom organic is detrimental to us and even all the natural

type sugars out there...
