SCD and Yeast-should we have die off?

June 29, 2007

One of the reasons we started this diet was to tackle bacteria and yeast that

just won't go away. The way I understood it, giving up the sugar and carbs that

turn to sugar should take care of both yeast and bacteria. Now I keep reading

that people on the diet are still struggling with yeast. Does this diet help

with yeast or just bacteria?

Also, we have been on the diet for two days and I have seen no die off. Is it

too soon or maybe we won't experience it?

Hi ,

For us it helped with both~

Introductory diet is the best for starving out the yeast. It dies off fast when

not fed sugar and starch. It is typical to have regressions every three months

on SCD for the first year. Some longer. One can never rid their entire body of

yeast. The thing is...in low numbers it will not cause symptoms or make us

sick.

After a good and solid introductory diet....boil and bake everything...peel and

cook all your fruits and vegetables....decrease your honey intake and water down

your juice. Review chapter 9 and 10. Stay away from hard to digest and

advanced foods.

THE YOGURT and acidophilus where the most important for us in fighting the war

of the yeasty beasties. YOU see...as the good bacteria is replaced and grows

back....it keeps the yeast and bad fungus at bay. We came fearing the dairy.

But found that the SCD goat yogurt did not cause caseomorphine reaction. Elaine

says that the proteins are denatured and most do not have an allergic reaction

to it. But it can cause a " die off " reaction so try not to confuse " die off "

with food intolerance.

Some get die off worse than others. You will have to see.

SCD is not a quick fix....but it has done miracles for my family.
