You need to read Breaking the viscious cycle to get an understanding of the why. After that it will all make more sense.

Hi ,

The point of fermenting yogurt for 24 is not to make the yogurt -

as you say, that is not necessary, it is to be super-duper

careful that the bacteria have consumed all the lactose sugar

from the milk before you touch it, because that lactose sugar

feeds the bugs in your system if you eat some.

Hi ,

Welcome! Here is info about the SCD 24 hour yogurt: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/yoghurt/yoghurt.htm

This Beginner’s Guide is a good place to start reading.

Hi, , and welcome to the lists. Sorry you needed to find us, but

glad you did.

Do you have a copy of Breaking the Vicious Cycle, aka BTVC,

yet?

If not, you need to either buy the book, or get it from your local

library.

There's quite an extensive section in the front which details the science

behind the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

I'd struggled with gut issues for 25 years. (Turns out, courtesy of my

niece volunteering to go off SCD and eat gluten for about three weeks in

order to be tested, that our family probably runs to celiac.) No one ever

ordered any tests or evaluations. " Just take some lomotil if it

bothers you. "

I had read and read and read on the subject -- but when I got a copy of

BTVC and read it, I lay on my bed, the book beside me, and said,

" OMG, this makes SO much sense! "

It's confusing now, but it will be easier as you learn.

I have the book and some cookbooks. A friend of mine did it for her daughter

years ago. I have read a lot at this point and I have read the book more than

once. I have decided to try this for two months and see if I start to feel

better. I think that I am reacting to a lot of food I wouldn't normally because

I still haven't healed my gut even though I have been GF for almost a year. I

guess I am having a hard time figuring out how fast and what to add because it

isn't totally laid out for me. I am probably too anal. I am on the first day on

the intro though and I feel okay. I can't believe I am not hungrier or craving

anything. I am wondering if I will feel sick at all tomorrow because right now

I feel pretty good. thanks for your help. I am so confused!

But just to let you know you're undoubtedly on the right track: I went on a gluen free diet for somewhat over a  month before going on the SCD. And the reason I went on SCD is because the gluten-free diet wasn't effective for me at all. It was still allowing me to eat rice -- and lots of it, as actual rice, as bread, as cookies, etc. --  and lots of sugars. I began to immediately feel the difference when I cut those out. You're on Day 1. You may yet have some die-off, and also some cravings. It's likely, but you'll get through that. Virtually all of us have (or are now). While the SCD requires fastidiousnes in terms of adherence, being too anal about it (as you self-diagnose!) isn't helpful, as you're already discovering. It definitely requires a lot of personal judgements about what YOU can/should do next, can eat, can't eat. Just add foods, normally one (or two) at a time that you think will work. Base that on whether you judge the food to be good for your body/condition. E.g., some people can't eat much fiber, some can eat more; or certain types of fiber bother some people and don't bother others. Some can eat aged cheese (or yogurt) without problem. Some can't. Also certainly don't be afraid to base your decisions on what you like to eat -- as long as it's SCD legal. If you like green beans, try them (well cooked and not the least bit crunchy to begin with. Don't force yourself to eat broccoli if you don't like it. Or the same with the Farmer's cheese (dry curd cottage cheese). I use it in baking some, but by itself or in the SCD cheesecale I don't happen to like it. I find the texture too gritty, and food texture is very important to enjoying a culinary experience. Be confident in the decisions you make for yourself! You don't need detailed instructions; that's impossible because everybody reacts so differently to given foods or situations, and to a given disease.  You'll figure out pretty quickly what works for you and what doesn't. And what you may not be able to eat immediately but may try again later.n>> >> >I have celiac disease and after almost a year on>> >a GF diet I am still not getting better.

I use it in baking some, but by itself or in the SCD cheesecale I don't happen to like it. I find the texture too gritty. It's not gritty if you make it the right way. Before you do anything else, put the DCCC in the cuisinart with theregular metal blade by it self and keep it runningfor about 5 minutes (approximate) or until the texture is perfectly smooth. Thenfollow the rest of the directions.You have to use a food processor - a blender, except I imagine a blendtec or vitamix, will not do the trick, as you will have to addmore liquids and then the texture does not turn out right.

Just wanted to add, I tried gluten free for almost two years and

it never really helped with my symptoms.  And I was always mystified because it

seemed to be successful for so many others.    

I’ve been one of the lucky ones  - the change to SCD made

immediate improvement.  When I read BTVC and understood the difference between

monosaccharide, disacharride, and polysaccharide it all made sense.  It

thoroughly explained the different results from the different diets I tried in

the past to heal myself.  It also made it clear that while some worked better

than others,  none worked as well as SCD for me. 

I really do need to keep ALL disaccharides and polysaccharides

out of my system to achieve optimal results.

[Guest guest]

Back in 2006 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (I had symptoms for about 2

years before). I have been battling it ever since with meds. Remission periods

at the longest have been 3-4 months. Before Christmas my aunt who is Celiac

gave me the book. I have decided to go ahead and try it out.

I've been doing SCD since Sunday. I started with plain chicken, chicken soup.

The next day I added very cooked carrots to my soup. I had no problems. I was

also having some eggs for breakfast. Last night I tried one of the recipe's

from BTVC. I tried the honey garlic chicken. This was so yummy! Anyhow,

before I started I had been symptom free for about 2 months. On day 4 I start to

get symptoms.

I am regressing back to the chicken soup. I was planning to start making my own

yogurt but since I am having symptoms I am not sure if I should begin that.

Any ideas?

There is a lot that goes on in the first weeks of SCD. My first thought is

possible " die-off " . The first time I ate garlic several weeks into the diet it

sent me to the bathroom.

Have you looked at Pecanbread.com ? The stages are a helpful guide, although not

set in stone. It is a site for ASD kids that are dairy free, but that is not

required for SCD.

I started the yogurt right away. Others don't tolerate it. Some start very

slowly- just a little bit at a time. We all react to foods differently. It helps

to keep a food diary and adjust the diet for you. I could not handle carrots at

the beginning, but many do. Many people have trouble with eggs. I can handle

boiled eggs, but fried not so well. There are people here who had to cut out

eggs.

However, as your gut heals, you can usually tolerate more foods. A common error

is to think you can eat everything that is legal. That is not usually the case

at the start.

I would cut back to easily digestible foods and lots of home made broths.

Magnesium sulfate baths (not by mouth!!) help with die off and achyness. Check

your foods for illegals. Many poultry items contain broths and flavorings.

Supplements can contain illegals and also be difficult at first.

Hang in there!

Didn't see your name,Can you eat yogurt? You can make muffins in your spare time, crumble and dry them in the oven (about 150F) until hard. Store in an airtight container and use like cereal in sweetened yogurt. If you can find it, Acacia honey is extremely mild tasting and is as close to flavourless as honey gets. Soak your nuts in salt water for 7 or more hours, rinse, then dehydrate (under 150F) for 12-24 hours until crispy. You will digest them much better. I use dates, almond flour, and cinnamon as a crisp on fruit. No, it won't be the same, but it is yummy.Amelia.To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, March 20, 2010 4:31:05 AMSubject: New to SCD

Hi I have a few questions that maybe some long-timers can help me out with.

1)What can you eat for breakfast that is fast (but not eggs) since I cannot eat cereal, oatmeal or toast? FAST & easy being key as I do not have time in my morning to cook.

2) I crave something dry & crunchy but I am at a loss at what to eat. I like nuts but think they may give me gas. Nut flours are ok though. I am not looking for candy as all the recipes I have seen do not appeal to me and I don't like honey as much as sugar. I am thinking more of something I can eat like chips or crackers.

3)I have been experimenting to make an apple crisp with nut flour, butter and honey for topping but it does not come out right. Anybody have a recipe for a fruit crisp?

Didn't see your name,Can you eat yogurt? You can make muffins in your spare time, crumble and dry them in the oven (about 150F) until hard. Store in an airtight container and use like cereal in sweetened yogurt. If you can find it, Acacia honey is extremely mild tasting and is as close to flavourless as honey gets. Soak your nuts in salt water for 7 or more hours, rinse, then dehydrate (under 150F) for 12-24 hours until crispy. You will digest them much better. I use dates, almond flour, and cinnamon as a crisp on fruit. No, it won't be the same, but it is yummy.Amelia.To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, March 20, 2010 4:31:05 AMSubject: New to SCD

Hi I have a few questions that maybe some long-timers can help me out with.

1)What can you eat for breakfast that is fast (but not eggs) since I cannot eat cereal, oatmeal or toast? FAST & easy being key as I do not have time in my morning to cook.

2) I crave something dry & crunchy but I am at a loss at what to eat. I like nuts but think they may give me gas. Nut flours are ok though. I am not looking for candy as all the recipes I have seen do not appeal to me and I don't like honey as much as sugar. I am thinking more of something I can eat like chips or crackers.

3)I have been experimenting to make an apple crisp with nut flour, butter and honey for topping but it does not come out right. Anybody have a recipe for a fruit crisp?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi! I make a smoothie in the morning so I can drink it on my way to work- it's

really quick, but it does take some prep on the weekends so that you have the

ingredients at hand. I make some coffee and add a bit of honey and keep it in

the fridge for the week so it's all ready and cold. I also take my SCD ripe

bananas and freeze a bunch every week (break into pieces and wrap each one in

saran or wax paper so that you have a serving size). The below recipe makes just

enough to fill a travel mug!

In a blender, puree until smooth:

3/4 cup yogurt

1/4 cup cold coffee

1 frozen banana

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup crushed ice

As for the dry and crunchy dilemma, my 2 saviors have been kale chips and cheese

chips!

Hope these ideas help

I'm sorry for breakfast I can't help you. I eat a lot of leftovers for

breakfast.

I used to eat this when I thought nut flour agreed with me.

Smoothies are a quick filling food too.

Kale chips: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Kale-Chips/Detail.aspx you can

play around with the seasonings.

Cauliflower popcorn: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001533.html

Pork skins with just pork skins and salt as the ingredients (this would be a

very advanced food but I tolerated it early on).

Sorry, I have no ideas on the apple crisp.

For breakfast, what type of protein are you eating at other

meals? If you want something quick for breakfast, how about a slice

of leftover chicken or whatever? I often have a bit of salad for

breakfast, of all things!

I've have smoothies and Lara bars when I need quick breakfasts " to-go " .

Smoothies can be simplified if you get a container that acts as both a mug you

can take to go and an attachment to your blender. I use the magic bullet for

this.

For cracker recipes check out scdrecipe.com. You can make a large amount of

dough on the weekend and freeze it. Then bake the dough as and when you want to

make crackers.

Take care and heal fast,
