Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have been on the diet sense the 21st of Oct. I do feel so much better, so what shockingly so. I have been adding one new food every day or 2. I only had one questionable addition. Asparagus, which caused me trouble in the past. I have eaten acorn, butternut, zucchini squashes and pumpkin. I have not had a problem with any of these. To night I cook a spaghetti squash and some homemade spaghetti sauce with tomatoes, onion, garlic, ground beef and basil. So, I add 2 new foods, the spaghetti squash and the tomatoes. About half way though eating i started itching and having a burning sensation on my sink. I have eaten tomatoes all my life, but i do not think is was the squash... could eating the tomatoes now that i am on SCD cause this, or am i just over reacting??

Hi Jill, Well, it could be either of them. The best way to find out is take a few days off from them and from intro'ing anything else that is new. And then try a tiny, tiny, tiny little portion of 1. Wait two days at least for symptoms to appear and if nothing, increase the amount and see what happens. Then try the other one. Or you could just wait on reintroducing both of them and go on and add in other foods. Yes, despite having eaten a food all your life, it is perfectly possible to first become aware of a sensitivity that you have to a food. The reason why is a bit complex. First, you are decluttering your entire gut, so initially, your gut is having a more direct experience of food. This is comparable to the fact that food also tastes differently once you unclutter your palate from all the junk and the sugar and the preservatives, etc. But, as your gut heals, it is quite possible/probable that some of these new sensitivities go away. That is your gut is now hyper sensitive in the early months on SCD. Most people do not remain in that situation.
