Showing signs of loosing sensitivities already

[Guest guest]

I wanted to share with the group that we must be truly healing. When

we cam here our list of sensitivities was truly long. Im the beginning

of this SCD journey I shared that I feared that we would have to eat

dirt. Everything made me and my duaghter sick.

We are recovering from what I like to call " atypical celiac

disease " ....because the gluten free casien free diet and other ways of

eating...truly failed us. As we experimented with other ways...our

list of senitivity just Grew and Grew and GRew. A true sing that the

immune system was trying to say to us " enough is enough " ! Our

intestines wher letting everything through UNDIGESTED.

We had problems with Phenols/aicylates, oxylates, fats, protiens of

all kinds....God knows what. Although we have not experimented with

all of them yet...still respecting stages to the best of our abilty

(found on pecan bread web site).

We are now wittnessing the promise that Elaine shared in her book.

They are disapearing. It will be 3 months on the strictest SCDiet

this May 21st. We have already gone through two good die offs. Have

had to go back to intro with our sickest (KIKI) three times....but no

body has out ward signs of yeast or diarrhea, steatorrhea (stinky

undigested fat in stools) is no longer.

We can now tolerate many foods, all the nut flours, raw fruits (still

peel the peelable ones), steamed vegetables, and all meats. Still

will not eat peanuts, whole nuts, raisins, dates, SCD cooked hard

beans....we are not ready yet. Experimented with the beans...saw them

in stool undigested. Yeast issues cam back. We now can tolerate well

the SCD safe 24 hour goat yogurt..tried the bovine...was too hard to

digest. I use to be truly afraid of the caseine, but now trust that

it rendered harmless...or something has happened...because we no

longer react to it like we use to. Many thought that in the begging

our reaction to the yogurts (all of them, milk free or not) was caused

to die off...not the proteins in the stuff. Plus pecan bread tells us

that the casien is rendered harmless in a 24 hour batch of yogurt

anyways. So unless you have true allergy to diary...you may want to

try it, either right away like us...or wait a while..but don't do what

I almost did and throw a way the " yougurt/baby with the bath

water " ...it wasn't untill we where utilizing this special yogurt that

the miracle started to truly happen with our duaghter. I am so glad

that I trust the stuff.

We try to remember what Elaine says in her BTVC book...so that we stay

patient:

" what the body can not digest does harm " ..because it sits in the

gut....feeding the bad guys, thus the vicious cycle continues.

Warm Regards to everyone, Antoinette
