The yogurt and DCCC might have something to do with it. Try stopping both of those for a few days and see if there is any improvement. Sometimes less is better.

I went without any dairy and no eggs for a week, and it helped.... but when I added the dairy back in slowly over a week I was doing ok. Maybe i'll cut back on that too, but it's hard to make that decision because of the constant weight loss.

,I'm in a similar situation as far as certain dairy foods go -- I cannot tolerate yogurt or DCCC. I take Carlson's lemon flavored Cod Liver Oil from whole Foods and have felt so much better ever since taking it. I felt it has helped reduce inflammation. I also use fatty oils like coconut oil to cook almost everything. The health benefits are too numerous to name here.Instead of yogurt, I now take a legal Acidophilus which works just fine for me. Talk to some other members and see what they say, but I think the dairy has something to do with it from the way you describe it.Also, try asking some other members about natural antifungals like Oil of Oregano. I feel like that really helped me when I first needed to get everything under

control.

I'm pretty interested in Oil of Oregano actually. But don't want to start it

until I know more, esp from folks on this list. So if anyone has any info, I'll

definitely be listening. Thanks!

Actually DCCC was huge with every meal I ate (6 or more months into

the diet when I found it). For some reason now, it has to be cooked

into something or I do not do well with it--at all. So, yes things

change for no apparent reason. Could be the batch, could try again

later and see if it's ok. How it's prepared could be a reason why.

Just drop back down a level then when you are feeling better, try

other things until you think you want to try the b-nut squash. I

never could eat it--still don't want to try again.

I made a huge bowl of jelly gelatin with 2 c. of juice instead of

honey. It's satisfying for some reason. It's just sweet enough and

light enough.

,Forgot to put that I use Oil of Oregano as well as virgin coconut oil, and also raw carrot/garlic juice. All are anti-bacterial/fungal. I just rotate between the 3. However, when I went with nothing but meat for a week I cut these out too since I've been told they can irritate the gut.For those that want to know,Oil of Oregano can be bought at almost any store and especially a healthfood store. You can get it in softgels (tiny) or as a liquid. The liquid is much cheaper and is what I use. I just fill a shot glass with water, drop a couple drops of the oil on top and shoot it like a shot. If the oil hits your throat it will burn, fair warning.Coocnut oil I use the gold label from tropicaltraditions.com This also burns my throat is I try to take a big enough spoonful of it at one time.I have a juicer and I juice about 5 decent size organic carrots, and 2 small cloves of garlic. More or less to taste. When I first started I could only do one clove of garlic but now i'm getting used to it and I use up to 3 cloves at once. This has probably had the greatest effect for me so far.

,Forgot to put that I use Oil of Oregano as well as virgin coconut oil, and also raw carrot/garlic juice. All are anti-bacterial/fungal. I just rotate between the 3. However, when I went with nothing but meat for a week I cut these out too since I've been told they can irritate the gut.For those that want to know,Oil of Oregano can be bought at almost any store and especially a healthfood store. You can get it in softgels (tiny) or as a liquid. The liquid is much cheaper and is what I use. I just fill a shot glass with water, drop a couple drops of the oil on top and shoot it like a shot. If the oil hits your throat it will burn, fair warning.Coocnut oil I use the gold label from tropicaltraditions.com This also burns my throat is I try to take a big enough spoonful of it at one time.I have a juicer and I juice about 5 decent size organic carrots, and 2 small cloves of garlic. More or less to taste. When I first started I could only do one clove of garlic but now i'm getting used to it and I use up to 3 cloves at once. This has probably had the greatest effect for me so far. I drink it before bed on an empty stomach, and then use one of the other 2 (coconiut or oregano) in the morning before I eat anything.Before I started the SCD diet I took ALOT of oil or oregano and it helped noticably.

,In my experience, Oil of Oregano is a very powerful agent. It can be used topically and internally. I actually used it with great success to get rid of a pesky skin tag. It went away in two days, but be forewarned, you need to dilute it in olive oil if you are using it topically. This will burn like a mother...Internally, you should hold a gulp of cold water in your throat, then drop it in so you don't feel the burn. You will notice a die-off the first few days, most likely due to bad yeast dying off. Also, I never used it more than 10 days straight. I have heard of others using it longer, but too much of anything can be bad. Good luck.

I'm pretty interested in Oil of Oregano actually. But don't want to start it until I know more, esp from folks on this list. So if anyone has any info, I'll definitely be listening. Thanks!

Has anyone heard of/tried emulsified oil of oregano? My naturopath recommended

it but I can't find it anywhere. About to try online. It is supposed to not

burn. Would diluting it in olive oil do the same thing?

Also, on the note about tolerating different foods, same thing happened to me. I

was great with carrots and butternut and acorn squash at first, then had to stop

all of them. I think my yeasts liked them too much. When I was first starting, I

had a yeast issue, but was less affected. My guess is, I was still using spices

at that point - garlic, tiny bit of onion, basil, oregano, turmeric was all -

and I think those were keeping the yeasts at bay, or they hadn't had time to

overgrow yet. I was also dairy free at that point.

Added the DCCC and things got worse. Cut it out, but then could not tolerate any

of the beginning foods. Added yogurt - took a week of absolutely loving it, then

things got worse. Cut it out and waited in case it was something else. Added it

- things got worse a week later again. I'm guessing it just takes time for the

bioflora of the cut to change ecologically. Like, it's OK to add frogs to an

environment if there is something to eat the frogs, but if there isn't watch

out. Soon you'll have to use frog poison, but only after the frogs have had a

chance to overpopulate. Then if you start adding something that eats frogs, you

can add the frogs again. No problem.

Sometimes I wish I could have a microscope installed to see what I'm dealing

with in there. ;b

Let's see, here is a list of what I am eating now:

Beef (rare if possible - easier to digest)

Chicken soup (next time with just chicken - right now I use cabbage,

which I think may agree with me OK)

Fish (I use different kinds depending on what I am hungry for - good to listen

to my tummy)

Eggs

Note on meat: I've been frying on the stove top from the beginning because I

like adding olive oil. I haven't cooked with anything but for about a year, and

I stopped tolerating butter before I began the diet. I've recently starting

wanting to eat just the olive oil, so I add a little bit (unheated) with salt to

my avocado - very tasty in my book, but probably weird to many.

Zucchini (cook for 1 hr)

Pear (cook for 1 hr)

Applesause (just a little bit in a day - too much and I get burny stuff/smell it

on the way out, I only buy the kind where apples are the only ingredient)

Avocados (raw but ripe - about 1 to 1.5/day or I feel a tummy ache from it)

Blueberry juice/puree (I bought the Just Blueberry juice and it seems to do

okay. The puree settles better, but takes about 1.5 hrs to make, since I boil it

for 1 hr and press it through a strainer into a bowl. Some of the skins get

mushed up and pressed through I think, but it has not seemed to be a factor. I

don't eat that much in a day.)

I got desperate a few nights ago and had less than 1/4 tspn of pure cocoa

powder, but I would not recommend it - it helped my mood and got rid of my pain

but is not part of the diet. I also was desperate for peanut butter again so I

had one spoonful two days running and it doesn't seem to have made anything

worse. Also tried onion and garlic - oh so yummy! May or may not tolerate well -

too soon to tell, but the garlic has helped the yeast overnight.

The meat/fish/fruits etc above are not exciting. But they do seem to get me

through each day. When I start getting flashes in my head of another food (like

peanut butter) I figure I'm lacking something or one of my bacteria wants it. As

boring as it is, I've learned (3 times!) that slow and steady wins the race.

When I lost weight before, and was soooo fatigued after starting the diet, I had

to add a lot of carbs at once because my brain wasn't working well on small

amounts of zucchini alone. I later had to backtrack after a miniflair, but you

have to do what you have to do. Always the lesser of the evils I guess. If

trying some carbs that are risky will give you the nutrition you need, maybe try

more than one at once, but then, like me, you may have to cut out everything new

and go back to the beginning and add them one at a time.

Also, I've found that if I eat too much of anything it seems to be bad. Too much

beef - temporary C and pain. Too much eggs - awesome smell an gas. Too much of

any one veggie/fruit - D or cramps or something else. In this sense, variety

does help.

Recent things that have helped: I've been drinking tons of water and getting

plenty of sea salt. Sometimes regular salt for the iodine. More water/salt

always makes me feel better, and helps my vision get better after it got all

blurry after starting the diet.

I recently stopped all supplements after my last flair. (I've had three in one

month.) It did help. My kidneys were overloaded with 30 pills a day I think. I'm

now taking a multivitamin every other day to see if I can get enough of

everything. I also need to start getting/making electrolyte drinks for

magnesium, which I'm sure I'm deficient in.

Sorry for the super long reply! It sounds like you are having a really rough

time of it, and I figured I'd share all my (short) experience in case any of it

can help.

I don't know if it would work for you but during the last 2 massive flares I had

the starter diet wasn't enough to get my symptoms under control so I did a

(diluted) juice fast for a couple days (I think I did 3). That (for me) got

everything under control and I started adding foods back from there. Just an

idea anyway. I hope you feel better soon!

I don't know if it would work for you but during the last 2 massive flares I had

the starter diet wasn't enough to get my symptoms under control so I did a

(diluted) juice fast for a couple days (I think I did 3). That (for me) got

everything under control and I started adding foods back from there. Just an

idea anyway. I hope you feel better soon!

> Almost at 2 months straight with a bad flare trying to get things under

control. I've bene eating nothing but beef, chicken, fish, avocado, grape juice,

apple cider, yogurt, DCCC, eggs, and very little cheddar cheese. I tried mashed

butternut squash 2 nights ago, and today I had a huge setback. It may be because

of the medicine i'm on, but may not... very hard to tell right now.

i'll try the olive oil with a litle salt on my avocado in the morning.Check the salt that you use with iodine in it. Manufacturers put dextrose in there to stabilize the iodine. Dextrose is an illegal, even though it's only .04% in the salt.I have more illegals in my meds, but I guess every little bit helps -UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 8 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 12 pills a day Prednisone 40mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: evenstrangerquark@...Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:25:38 +0000Subject: Re: After a bad flare, ever had the foods you tolerate change?

Let's see, here is a list of what I am eating now:

Beef (rare if possible - easier to digest)

Chicken soup (next time with just chicken - right now I use cabbage,

which I think may agree with me OK)

Fish (I use different kinds depending on what I am hungry for - good to listen to my tummy)

Eggs

Note on meat: I've been frying on the stove top from the beginning because I like adding olive oil. I haven't cooked with anything but for about a year, and I stopped tolerating butter before I began the diet. I've recently starting wanting to eat just the olive oil, so I add a little bit (unheated) with salt to my avocado - very tasty in my book, but probably weird to many.

Zucchini (cook for 1 hr)

Pear (cook for 1 hr)

Applesause (just a little bit in a day - too much and I get burny stuff/smell it on the way out, I only buy the kind where apples are the only ingredient)

Avocados (raw but ripe - about 1 to 1.5/day or I feel a tummy ache from it)

Blueberry juice/puree (I bought the Just Blueberry juice and it seems to do okay. The puree settles better, but takes about 1.5 hrs to make, since I boil it for 1 hr and press it through a strainer into a bowl. Some of the skins get mushed up and pressed through I think, but it has not seemed to be a factor. I don't eat that much in a day.)

I got desperate a few nights ago and had less than 1/4 tspn of pure cocoa powder, but I would not recommend it - it helped my mood and got rid of my pain but is not part of the diet. I also was desperate for peanut butter again so I had one spoonful two days running and it doesn't seem to have made anything worse. Also tried onion and garlic - oh so yummy! May or may not tolerate well - too soon to tell, but the garlic has helped the yeast overnight.

The meat/fish/fruits etc above are not exciting. But they do seem to get me through each day. When I start getting flashes in my head of another food (like peanut butter) I figure I'm lacking something or one of my bacteria wants it. As boring as it is, I've learned (3 times!) that slow and steady wins the race. When I lost weight before, and was soooo fatigued after starting the diet, I had to add a lot of carbs at once because my brain wasn't working well on small amounts of zucchini alone. I later had to backtrack after a miniflair, but you have to do what you have to do. Always the lesser of the evils I guess. If trying some carbs that are risky will give you the nutrition you need, maybe try more than one at once, but then, like me, you may have to cut out everything new and go back to the beginning and add them one at a time.

Also, I've found that if I eat too much of anything it seems to be bad. Too much beef - temporary C and pain. Too much eggs - awesome smell an gas. Too much of any one veggie/fruit - D or cramps or something else. In this sense, variety does help.

Recent things that have helped: I've been drinking tons of water and getting plenty of sea salt. Sometimes regular salt for the iodine. More water/salt always makes me feel better, and helps my vision get better after it got all blurry after starting the diet.

I recently stopped all supplements after my last flair. (I've had three in one month.) It did help. My kidneys were overloaded with 30 pills a day I think. I'm now taking a multivitamin every other day to see if I can get enough of everything. I also need to start getting/making electrolyte drinks for magnesium, which I'm sure I'm deficient in.

Sorry for the super long reply! It sounds like you are having a really rough time of it, and I figured I'd share all my (short) experience in case any of it can help.

> Has anyone heard of/tried emulsified oil of oregano? My naturopath recommended it but I can't find it anywhere. About to try online. It is supposed to not burn. Would diluting it in olive oil do the same thing?

> Also, on the note about tolerating different foods, same thing happened to me. I was great with carrots and butternut and acorn squash at first, then had to stop all of them. I think my yeasts liked them too much. When I was first starting, I had a yeast issue, but was less affected. My guess is, I was still using spices at that point - garlic, tiny bit of onion, basil, oregano, turmeric was all - and I think those were keeping the yeasts at bay, or they hadn't had time to overgrow yet. I was also dairy free at that point.

> Added the DCCC and things got worse. Cut it out, but then could not tolerate any of the beginning foods. Added yogurt - took a week of absolutely loving it, then things got worse. Cut it out and waited in case it was something else. Added it - things got worse a week later again. I'm guessing it just takes time for the bioflora of the cut to change ecologically. Like, it's OK to add frogs to an environment if there is something to eat the frogs, but if there isn't watch out. Soon you'll have to use frog poison, but only after the frogs have had a chance to overpopulate. Then if you start adding something that eats frogs, you can add the frogs again. No problem.
