Nausea after mealtime and sharp pains?

[Guest guest]

Hello! My husband and I started SCD 5 weeks ago. He has had two food

reactions from eating food that had ingredients we weren't aware of.

Other than those two times (where the reactions lasted about 5 days),

he has had significant improvement.

His last reaction was this past Saturday after eating a smoothie laced

with sugar (we didnt realize the strawberries bought fresh from a farm

last summer and frozen had had sugar added to them). Normally his

reactions just mean inability to focus/concentrate, confusion,

irritation.

NAUSEA:

The past few days he has had nausea about 10-20 minutes after eating.

We began taking a stomach acid pill two weeks ago... just switched to

betaine hcl about 2 days ago. We thought that might be the cause, but

I wonder if increased stomach acid causes nausea... or if it is just

his gut healing and the bacteria starving off again. We have also

started taking GI Pro Health's B vitamins and Laboratories

Enzymes. Will start the yogurt soon!

SHARP PAINS IN SMALL INTESTINES:

Another thing. This morning he woke up with sharp pain below his belly

button. I believe this is his small intestines. Do any of you ever

experience sharp pains there? It wasnt gas or bloating. His belly is

rarely bloated. He never has diarrhea. He is never constipated. Except

for the reactions and severe thinness and acne, you would never

suspect that he isnt entirely well.

Thanks!

Increased stomach acid can cause nausia. I am expecting my fourth child, and I

have had a lot of nausia with this child. Two weeks ago, I had a check up with

my doctor. I told him that my nausia is still very strong even though I am half

way through the pregnancy. He asked if I was having a lot of heart burn because

increased stomach acid can cause nausia in some people. I'm not having that

problem, so I know that's not the cause for my continued nausia. It obviously

was a helpful fact to learn though because now I can pass on the information to

you.

Hi ,

I am glad to hear that your husband is improving. There is a possibility that

this is a die off reaction. The gut bugs that thrived from the sugar in the

strawberries are dying. Give activated charcoal, if that helps then you know it

is die off.

I would also remove all the new supplements and meds for a while then retry

them one at a time.

What is your husband eating?

Are the veggies and fruit cooked, peeled and seeded?

Any manufactured foods?

Supplements?

Thanks for the help! We will try removing the supplements for a few days.

We both started the diet a little over five weeks ago. I however began

at phase 4-5. I realized my digestion is much worse than his (chronic

constipation) even though he is the one with the brain connection. (He

has perfect digestion in appearance, though. Foods never upset his GI

tract in the normal way (gas, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, pain,

etc).

So, I started the intro diet a week ago and am at stage 1-2. Since I

cook for us both, he has ended up eating basically the intro diet

except with maybe 2-3 raw pears, two side salads and a handful of

pistachios (yesterday) during the course of this week.

I am almost finished with BTVC and it seems that a main indicator in

when people are ready to proceed to further stages of the diet is when

their diarrhea has stopped and bowel movements are good. Because he

almost always has had perfect bowel movements, I think we can proceed

with caution to all the next stages for him in the next few days.

(since he has been on SCD his bowel movements have been regular and

fine as always. it is strange that my digestive issues are quite

bad yet he is the one who has the brain reactions!

For me, i have to keep cooking my fruit and veggies because i am still

very constipated with intermittent diarrhea. Making some yogurt

today, so hope that will help us!

Supplements: GI pro-health B vitamins (my husband does well with b12)

Labs Copper and Potassium (his doctor found he is REALLY

deficient in those)

Labs Enzyme (i checked ingredients of douglas labs and they

are SCD legal).

He has stopped the betaine hcl now. (though i still take it before

each meal because my body isnt making enough stomach acids)

I take GI ProHealth Enzymes

thanks again!

Hi in Norway!

Are the GI Pro Health B Vitamin SCD legal? The GI Pro Health Multiple

Vitamin is not - according to the company gum ghatti, etc?)
