Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi , Before I decided on SCD, I spent way too much money reading about and buying different items. I tried Absorb plus. I still have the bottle, but I will probably throw it out. I was pre-SCD at this point, but I made a smoothy with the stuff. I had major D the next day. Absorb plus is full of maltodextrine. One serving has 62 grams of carbs. This is great for gaining weight, I suppose. For me, that was way too much of a carb load at one time, and my body just put it out. Maltodextrine is illegal. There are several approaches to IBD, and I'm glad that Jini Patel's works for her, and hopefully many others are also helped. I also resisted the work involved with SCD and tried short cuts. I found, through trial and error ( and money ) that the diets don't mix. Using Absorb plus is not compatible with SCD- it will undo it. Eventually I decided on SCD, as much work as it was in the beginning, but finally feeling well is more than worth it. For me, it was only SCD that stopped the D. Like you, weight was pouring off me. Once the D stopped, I started gaining my weight back. The only reason I'm not gaining now is because, at 5'4'', I don't want to gain any more, but if I really ate all I wanted on SCD (nut butter by the barrel- love that stuff) I would.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 That's what I thought. My problem is that after 5 weeks on scd I'm still having bad D. I've lost 20 pounds and seem to tolerate nothing. I can't have eggs, cheese, beef is to fatty. No veggies or fruit. Even watered down grape juice gives me problems. I simply can't live (literally) on chicken soup. I can't even seem to have the carrots. Yogurt is also questionable. Since starting this diet my D has bcome worse and worse. I never had these problems pre-scd. I'm about to go into panic mode on my weight and I'm gonna end up on stronger meds. My pentasa just comes out looking like pentasa. I've started over on the intro diet twice in 5 weeks. Both times made the D worse and I never recover. > > > > Is anyone here familiar with and know if " absorbplus " is legal?

This stuff is whey protein, which Elaine particularly disliked, because she said that it was a poor grade of protein. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 , I'm wondering what foods you do tolerate. I know you are wondering if SCD is helping, but if the foods you mention are giving you trouble, then non-SCD foods should also be hard to tolerate. SCD was not designed to replace medication. Some people, after feeling well on SCD decide to stop meds on their own. If you do need some meds at the moment, it is not necessarily a failure of SCD. We do what we need to do to heal. My own journey to SCD began when I was not tolerating any foods at all. I was pretty much living on Boost and Pedialyte. SCD foods were an addition for me, and I slowly added them one at a time. I never felt that I gave up something I tolerated before. I know you are panicking, and I would believe nobody here wants you to suffer. The very first thing I did- diet wise, before SCD was to go gluten free and lactose free. I thought those two things would be the most difficult for my gut to handle. I read BTVC several times, and also several other diet books before committing to SCD. You asked about going off the diet at some point, and I'm not even thinking on those terms, but I would imagine that would be a very slow process as well, with gluten/lactose being the last things to add, but I seriously doubt I would stop SCD as I do feel better on it- now. I think we would all encourage you to stay on SCD and hopefully others would add suggestions, but nobody here expects you to starve or be really sick. Many have used a short course of prednisone, or LDN, or whatever has worked to help heal in addition to SCD. PJ > > > > > > Is anyone here familiar with and know if " absorbplus " is legal?
