New To The Group But Not To UC Help Please!

[Guest guest]

Hi there, my name is Mia and I've had UC for 18 years. I was first diagnosed at

12 years old. I'm on 12 pills of Asacol a day and have tried pretty much

everything except for the SCD so I thought I would give it a shot. My colitis

goes in and out of remission a few times a year, I'd like for it to be gone for

good.

I bought two cookbooks and everything looks great but a) I don't eat meat, only

fish everything seems complicated to cook and the ingredients I shopped for

yesterday were way more expensive than I am used to dealing with.

I'd like to know if anyone else on here is a pescatarian, if there are

pre-prepared products we can eat, where to get them....right now I am eating a

lot of salad and fish and I almost started crying the other night from thinking

about how boring or complicated my food is going to be for a long time.

Thank you so much for any information you can give me. I'm waiting patiently for

my second copy of BTVC to arrive in the mail. I bought it about five years ago,

never read it and leant it to an ex-coworker I haven't spoken to in a few years.

Until then I feel like I'm completely lost.

All the best,

Mia

Mia,

SCD can feel overwhelming at first. It certainly can be a new way of cooking for

most people. Take it one step at a time...I started with learning how to make

yogurt. Now SCD cooking seems automatic.

You can do a lot with fish. Fish bone broth is very nutritious and can be a base

for all kinds of soups. I do eat meat, but I love fish. You can mix fish with

SCD mayonnaise- it was one of the first things I learned to make too. Fish stew

with vegetables.

Once you can add nuts and nut flours it will expand your choices further.

One step at a time....

Well, I eat meat, but I live in New Orleans.... a sea food capitol fer

shure!

Do you eat only fish or do you eat shell fish like oysters, crabs, and

shrimp as well?

Do you eat dairy?

It may be awhile, but how about oyster and artichoke bisque?

Oysters, catfish, or shrimp Bienville or Rockefeller?

Blackened catfish?

BBQed Shrimp?

Crabmeat au gratin?

Yep! I've made them all! <g>

Once you read it, it will make sense to you, and spur you to try it -- at least it does for most people! And you'll understand why this approach is so effective for almost everybody. If you don't eat meat for "health reasons" it would be very wise to reconsider. You're not getting the health benefits you think you are by avoiding meat. (If it has to do with non-humane treatment of animals, there are humane alternatives.) Meat gives you nutrients you can't get in any other source, and red meat has all the essential amino acids in that one source as no other single food does. The issue of too much fat in meat is a non-issue, not backed up by science, despite what conventional medicine and nutritionists say (every body does need fats, saturated  and otherwise). It's especially important to allow yourself those sources of protein, fats, amino acids and other nutrients when one has an IBD. Please reconsider. (If you dobut what I'm telling you, read Good Calories, Bad Calories as a very well-researched explanation of how the human body uses nutrients, why sugar/starch is bad for you, why meat is not, and how we got into the weird situation in which everyone thinks low-fat/non-fat is good (and companies are making billions on that misguided notion.No, there are no pre-prepared produces on the SCD. It does take a lot of work. If you don't think you're ready for that, you might try taking LDN (though that works best, also if you cut way down on, or stop, most starches/sugars).

*******

The food isn't boring - it's just different - a new experience - but also, as

you give up processed food and sugar/starch, you will find that your taste buds

change, most of us think for the better. Though, yeah, some of the cooking is

complicated, but not all of it. And then I always liked creative cooking. It

can be fun and it's satisfying.

There's an online copy that someone recently posted the link for - hopefully

someone will repost it - if not, look back in the messages for the last week or

so. Meanwhile, here are a few sites to familiarize yourself with while waiting:

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/scdfoods1.html

Check the different menu headings on both.

And when you do eat out in future, fish is very easy to deal with in a

restaurant. So no worries there.

Mia,

I started SCD only with chicken, salad, fruit, and olive oil. Then

some almond butter. Boring, yes! But the gut calmed down quite a bit

right away. Try not to concentrate on thinking it's so boring,

because it will get less boring as time goes on and you can add other

foods. It really is worth it to feel better. People here have a lot

of wonderful ideas and recipes to share as well as good advice in all areas.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. I eat pretty much any type of

fish, I just need to shop for it and branch out. I love fish and veggies, I just

am so used to my carbs and starches that's what is getting to me. But I should

just put up and deal with it.

The no eating red meat thing is more of a " it makes me sick just thinking about

it " thing in my brain. I just stopped being vegan a couple of months ago.

I tried eating chicken by making the SCD soup to get on the diet right away but

it kept making me nauseous. So, I will get very comfortable loving fish every

way I can make it and look forward to finding DCCC somewhere (I haven't been

able to find it) as well as the stuff to make the yogurt.

Thanks again!

Mia,

I am ex-vegan too and new to SCD. It is a big change J I

keep my portions of meat small and only eat organic/humanely raised beef or

chicken. I also try to stick with wild fish. It is a challenge ... there are

VERY FEW restaurants where I can eat at, but it keeps me healthy and using my

consumer dollars to support food production that I can live with. I also use

cage free eggs and organic cheeses.

Since my digestive issues are not as severe as some, I able to

supplement my diet with lots of fruit, veggies and beans so I don’t have to eat

meat/animal products daily … oops! Except for the yogurt J

Hi Mia,

I'm an SCD vegetarian so I don't even eat fish. I've also recently given up

cheese but I do still eat eggs. I have a good variety in my diet so nutrition

is a non-issue. Unfortunately when I do the SCD intro I basically have to eat

meat and gelatin. It makes me sick to think about it. Heh...I think it almost

helps me heal faster because I'm so desperate to stop eating it.

I'm not going to lie, it is difficult when you first start the diet. I had

several episodes where going to the grocery store made me angry or simply want

to cry because I couldn't help but think about how much I was missing. Plus, I

didn't know anything about cooking so I had no idea what I was going to eat.

Fortunately my bf used to be vegan and he understood what it was like to make

such a drastic change in diet. He also had a lot of wonderful vegetarian and

vegan recipes. I've actually found a lot of new recipes and flavors by going to

sites like goneraw.com. It is NOT an SCD site! I use it because I know what

ingredients are legal and not and I am usually able to find legal substitutions.

I suggest looking at it for ideas but make sure you know what's legal and

illegal before actually making anything .

Oh! Raman Prasad's cookbook has a vegetarian entree section. I was thrilled

when I saw that! As for preprepared food? Eh...you know I eventually realized

that my food was better so I don't really get preprepared stuff. Occasionally

I'll get dried fruit or something like a lara bar but that usually only happens

when I'm stocking up to go on a trip. Other people are going to suggest LDN

so I'm going to suggest Lialda. It's the same medication as Asacol but you only

take one dose in the morning. It makes more sense to me to take that than

Asacol (which I was on before lialda) because it's time release so it's more

likely to get the medication to the correct part of the body (I also have

UC...had it for 16 years, SCD for something like 4 now).

Anyway, it's completely doable to be an SCD pescatarian. If you're in the mood

for a particular type of recipe we're all here to help! You're also welcome to

email me off list if you have other pescatarian/vegetarian

questions/complaints/etc.

couple of months ago.

Mia,

I had absolutely no protein for twenty years (except what little was

in veggies, really). My body would not deal with it. Since I also

have hypoglycemia as well as the gut issues, this was an awful

period. I was a sub-set of vegan, in fact. Eventually a treatmente

helped a bit for the leaky gut and then slowly, infinitesimally

slowly, I was able to start eating little bits of meat. It was a

huge change and I had to take it very slowly. I suspect that if you

decide to commit to SCD, once you have ditched the starchy and sugary

stuff, your taste buds will change. Meanwhile at least there are

lots of kinds of fish for you.

What about banana with peanut butter on it if tolerated? Or just banana and yogurt or banana and honey.

You can also make the SCD plain bread but add cinnamon and raisins to it before cooking. Then you have a great snack when you toast a piece and put some butter and/or honey on it.-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a day

Thanks ! I've just started using peanut butter. I was never a fan before

but I have to say, it is a great change of pace for me now I have yet to make

the bread but I'm looking forward to learning how to cook this weekend.

Wow your son and I are exactly the same, I am totally savory and don't care too

much for sweets. I am extremely new to this but I tried making a random egg drop

soup two nights ago and it came out ok. I feel like what I call " acceptable "

taste-wise may not be how everyone feels. I made vegetable broth by adding a lot

of vegetables, including some fresh chopped ginger and put in whatever spices

from my cabinet I thought would work. When it was done simmering I slowly poured

in some beaten egg. I am a huge soup lover in general and this was my first

attempt. Not fantastic but not bad!

I also tried making SCD pizza for lunch today. Again, not something I would

serve to my friends but for me it was a great break from the norm. The crust

wasn't so much crusty but you know what, it wasn't bad. Also I substituted fresh

rosemary springs for thyme and instead of making sauce I just put fresh tomato

on the dough.

IMO, the best SCD pizza crust is in Raman Prasad's new cookbook

It actually isn't bad.

I bought that cookbook and another one - the one I made yesterday was from

Grain-Free Gourmet. Really not bad but hard to handle as dough. Really great

change of pace.

My advice, don't try the one in BTVC. It's like pizza on a big egg crepe!

Next time you are feeling ambitious enough to make pizza, give the Raman

prasad crust a try. I didn't follow his instructions for topping, however.

There I just did what I wanted to do.

I thought it was pretty good too! We just need to roll it a little flatter next

time. While still delicious thick, it's too much fat for just one little piece

of pizza.
