Anyone not tolorate the SCD Yogurt?

October 24, 2009

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.

As of today I am going to stop taking the yogurt and see if I improve again.

I have had CD since 1977 but have had some periods of remission. However since

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.

I am thinking my progress is being impaired by the SCD yogurt, that I somehow 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.

I hope I can take the SCD yogurt, if not now but in the future because it is

such a big part of SCD.

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Do somepeople do SCD without the yogurt?

This is a great forum.

Thanks to all.

CD since 7/77
