Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have 2 questions: 1- I have been on SCD for 5 months. It improved some aspects ( number of bowel movt/day, insomnia, itchiness rectal and vaginal) but some other aspects come back (diarrhea, undigested food, mucus)and last about a day. Is it normal? 2- I have lost 12 pounds since I am on this diet, I now weigh 98 lbs. I eat only stage 1 (based on Pecan Bread) foods. For the past 5 months, I have been eating meat, eggs, fish, spinach,squash, pecan and almond milk, chicken broth, apple sauce and apple cider. I still cannot tolerate yogurt (about 1 month ago, I tried 1 tsp and I had diarrhea). 2 weeks ago, I tried pecan butter and I had diarrhea, undigested food. Is it normal to have to be on stage 1 that long. I just need some guidance? If you have any idea of new food (especially fattening) I could add, that would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. It might take some time before I answer to this message (1 day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly you will do better with it. > I just need some guidance? If you have any idea of new food (especially fattening) I could add, that would be much appreciated. > > Thank you in advance.

Ghee, coconut oil/milk, avocadoes, coconut or almond milk yogurt - that is I saw what you wrote about pecans, but I wonder if you would be able to introduce almond milk.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I was on mostly stage one for almost a year with the occassional stage 2 item. i dont know what stage i would be on now but i still can't eat large quantities of nut butters, nut flours or nuts in general. Nor can I eat much raw stuff... I get C, bloating, gas and pain in my abdomen. Misty Kimble CD - no meds SCD - 2 years > > I have 2 questions: > 1- I have been on SCD for 5 months.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thank you Misty. I guess I need more patience; knowing that somebody else had the same experience is going to help me stay on SCD. Instant message from any web browser! Try the new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have been on SCD for 7 months and it's only the last week or so that I have been able to add a few more veggies to my diet from where I started. Don't get discouraged, just go with what works. I have 2 questions: 1- I have been on SCD for 5 months. It improved some aspects ( number of bowel movt/day, insomnia, itchiness rectal and vaginal) but some other aspects come back (diarrhea, undigested food, mucus)and last about a day.
