[Guest guest]

I think the idea of having a group for advanced-SCDers is excellent, to

keep separated the problems newbies have getting used to the whole thing

from the questions/problems people have when they've been on SCD longer

term. I know in the ten 11 weeks I've been on SCD I have sure

learned a lot, mostly from all of you, though I know I'm not qualified

for the new group yet, not if it takes a year.

I will look forward to it, though.

Your comment, Marilyn, made me think of something. Of course what

we are trying to do in sorting things out is pretty difficult, because as

you say, we are all different. We can't even all follow exactly the same

SCD diet at first; I know I can't. But what if the database could

contain several sections. One would be the Legal Letters

file. Another might be people's experiences with needed drugs, like

yours here, Marilyn, in which the fillers caused the trouble. Of

course not everyone will have the same problem wiht the same things, but

seems to me that stories like this would serve as a learning experience

and guide for others. Perhaps in the Legal Letters section there

might be a place under each item where people could say " I have no

trouble with this " and others could say they did. Just a

couple of ideas off the top of my head.

Ironically, the on-going pain which I was attributing to my surgery turned out to be gut-spasms caused by feeding all those dratted bad bacteria I've been trying to starve out.

How do you create a list of " most of the items we take in " ? What I consume is not what you consume, and may not bear any relationship to what a dozen other people may

consume?
