Beginner - again - Soooo confused!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I started SCD in March/07. I'm not sure when I joined this group

(was " recently " ) & I have learned alot, however, I work full-time

plus am taking a course full-time, not leaving me alot of time & so I

have remained a " silent " participant. With all the emails I've

become overwhelmed and so very confused & am having problems with the

diet - I can't get D under control. I've read BTVC twice & skimmed

several times. I've not had replies from contacting Nutritionists

and Counsellors listed. I've started the intro diet 2 or 3 times now

& although I'm an awful cook & not overly fond of what's in it I'm

about to try one last time. I have a few questions before I do

though:

When can/should I start eating the homemade yogurt?

When can I eat things like homemade: mayo, salad dressing, etc?

Is BBQ considered same as broiling?

Can I eat ANY kind of legal meat after the intro diet?

How long until you know you're reacting to a food? (I seem to have

to " go " after 2 bites of ANYTHING I put in my mouth)

Thanking you in advance for ANY help you can give me!

There are people who have to alter this diet to suit them in order to

be successful. Bear in mind it is almost impossible for one way of

eating to be the right way for everyone.

SCD gives an excellent start but you must think critically for yourself.

Start with the soup. Add in one food at a time. If you react to the

food - do not add it again for a long time.

For example: When we first started, ds (our most damaged family

member) could not tolerate ANY beans at all for a few years, so we did

not add them in. Nightshades (tomato, etc.) gave him d. It took a

full year, maybe more, before we could add them back in successfully.

Five years later and he still reacts to kiwi with d. So, he doesn't

eat it.

However, he is much healthier and has not had a viral infection that

was bad enough to see a doc. for, for five years... before that, we

used to have to go about every six weeks because he'd catch everything

under the sun.

I also, went on the diet in support of him (though I thought I had no

issues). Well, my health improved so much that there are many food I

will never go back to eating even though I now consider myself to be

fully healed.

So, you have to put it all in perspective and work the diet so that it

works for you.

Thank you - I am trying to alter it but because I don't seem to have a " good "

day, I don't know what I react to. I think I may be reacting to the chicken

soup too. It's frustrating & I'm extremely undernurished right now. I ate

scrambled eggs for breakfast & lunch today & so far so good!

I will prevail!!

Hi Chandra,

<<Thank you - I am trying to alter it but because I don't seem to

I was unable to drink the broth when I did the intro - I reacted to

it poorly.

Two things helped 1. - using organic free range chickens

and 2. blending the carrots into the broth to make a thick cream-

like soup.

Mostly I would eat the chicken, and carrots seperately and save the

broth for later.

Some people do react to chicken. I have read at least one abstract

that shows where a child was failing to thrive due to chicken.

Try using something else for the broth.

Do you feel better with beef?

Do you feel better with another type of meat?

Do you feel better with no meat? There are people who do not have the

enzymes to break meat down properly. This is viewed as a rare

occurrence in conventional medicine... However, with the number of

people I have spoken to who say that they are vegetarian because meat

makes them feel sick, I have to wonder how rare it really is.

Do not give up. Do think critically.

If I don't answer a question, it is because I didn't see it. Please

feel free to e-mail me.
