First week on SCD and needing a little help !

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I'm a Crohn's patient who is not taking any medicine right

now. When the flare came back recently, I decided to try the SCD diet

and started by eating the chicken and carrot soup as suggested in the

PeacanBread website. For breakfast and snack I eat cooked and pureed

apple with slices of ripe banana. This diet after a few days has

completely stopped the diarrhea. This is very good, but now I'm having

issues with constipation! ... Is this normal when you start the SDC

into diet? Should I be concerned? Is there anything I need to be aware

of?

Thanks in advance for any comment or suggestion you might have.

Best regards,

Rez

Hi Rez,

I've been SCD for 2 1/2 months now. I don't have issues myself, but my son has

autism so I decided to do it with him. I never had D or C, but after starting

the diet I had C for the first 3 weeks. Then one day it just went away and I'm

back to normal again. I think this is pretty common from what I've read.

Yes, it's normal and no, so early in the diet I wouldn't do much of anything,

except drop the banana for a few days. If it persists, Elaine gives great

suggestions on the pecanbread website for constipation. But honestly, the best

thing you can do is try and relax in general and drink lots of good quality

water. Healing takes time and SCD works, but until your healed your body will

act goofy once in a while. Expect it, and don't let it stop you.

Thank you, i will try to relax, but unfortunatelly i don't tolerate

eggs and nuts very well either and apparently those are the

more " advanced " foods, so i'm eliminating those too and losing more

weight ... anyway i'll stick with it for as long as i can. Thanks,

If you tolerate eggs mixed with or baked with other foods how about

chicken pancakes, banana pancakes, homemade mayo (which can then be

used for chicken salad, slamon salad as a topping for burgers, mixed

with legal dijon mustard etc...)
