Beginning the diet

[Guest guest]

This diet seems ideal for me because it doesn't contain most of my food

allergens. However, I have so much trouble sticking to a diet. Even

just dairy free is so difficult for me. Has anyone else experienced

this, but eventually got the hang of it? I'm to the point of where I

feel like eating healthy is almost impossible for me because of my

intense cravings and somewhat impulsive choices to eat inappropriate

foods. Do you guys worry about rotating the foods(non-

allergy/sensitive foods) when you have a picky eater with lots of

sensitivities? I'm a picky eater(oral hypersensitiveness) and find it

very hard to do diets with limited food choices. I feel that having a

healthy diet is essential, but it just feels like everytime I try I end

up failing in the end.

Some people have said that their cravings disappeared after a while.

When there were times when I thought I may feel left out (at a party

with no munchies or at the movies) I bring along an SCD treat of some

kind.

Some families do rotation.

Using " rotate " as the " Search " word at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/messages turns up

many posts.

There is lots of support on this group to help you through the hard

times. : )

Hi Carolyn,

I forgot to add: An incentive to stay on this diet is that many have

reported that as the gut heals with SCD many food sensitivities fade

and disappear over time.
