Re: New to diet...some questions

Nora,

Elaine said that C is just the opposite side of the coin from D.

Both indicate gut dysfunction.

So, yes your husband should start with the intro diet.

Also, I would caution the use of a lot of tuna because of its seriously high

mercury content.

SCD 1/03

March 3, 2006

SCD yogurt made out of cow's milk is very beneficial, and helps a lot for

constipation. If he has a bowl of yogurt every day, it might really help.

Fresh vegetable juices (beets, carrots, green leafy vegetables) are also very

helpful for constipation.

Good Luck.

My husband just started on the diet yesterday, and soon we will put the

entire family on. (two autistic sons' who are currently gf/cf)

My question has to do w/husband. He does not have the common symptoms,

but rather severe constipation...for about 8 yrs. now. After reading

the book, he feels he doesnt have to completely follow the intro diet

since he does not have the diarrea/cramping.

Today he had a hard boiled and dry tuna for his lunch. Im just

wondering if he'll be okay jumping right in.

Also, has anyone else had relief from from constipation on this diet?

Thanks,

Nora
