Re: Re: Honey and SCD TARA question the doctor???

[Guest guest]

Tara;

If it's any consolation, my DAN recommended the same thing for my daughter - SCD

no dairy, no honey and very low fruit. At least for a little while until her

gut/yeast/bacteria issues are under control (no dairy indefinitely though). She

has chronic gut issues.

So, no - your DAN isn't the only one to recommend very low to no honey to start

the diet. We can co-miserate ;-)

Re: Re: Honey and SCD TARA question the doctor???

Dear Tara,

I know I am not winning a popularity contest here on this honey topic...but

why is it that this SCDiet has worked for over 50 years using honey...and all of

a sudden one DAN doctor has many now doubting that you can't use honey?

Friends;

If the physician suspects a severe yeast overgrowth (usually DXd via

stool microbiology and urinary metabolites), then restriction of

simple sugars is perfectly correct.

Yeasts directly metabolize glucose (and fructose, etc.) molecules as

substrate for anaerobic fermentation. Therefore, in the presence of

yeast in the upper portions of the small bowel, e.g., Candidiasis of

the duodenum and/or jejunum, even moderate consumption of simple

sugars is contraindicated. Eliding a host of details, the simple

sugars will nourish the yeast colony, not the human host, in a

continually worsening ratio. Once the candidiasis is regulated,

simple sugars can usually be carefully reintroduced.

The reality is that there is no one size fits all dietary or

pharmacological prescription that will be optimal for myriad

gastrointestinal pathologies. An optimal treatment approach should

be customized to the specific pathologies and genetic expression of

an individual human being, not the assumptions of a theoretical model.

As per the disclaimer of BTVC, SCD should be implemented under

supervision of a properly brained and trained physician who can

account for the individuality of patients and pathologies.

Good luck.

I think this DAN-MD should write an article about honey and SCD to

explain it. -If he feel not to write, he could record an audio

instead (and publish it as a Podcast
