Question about hubby easing into SCD

[Guest guest]

My dh is probably the one who needs this diet the most in our family.  He's had

gut issues since I've known him, and was unofficially dx'ed by me <wink> a few

years ago as having IBS.  Anyway, he wants to start the diet after the 1st of

the year, but we're going to have to do it differently with him, as he's the

sole breadwinner here and works nights.  He can't be feeling weak or sick when

he's got to be at work for 12 hours.  We'll have to go really slow with him. 

He's been joining us at dinner for some of our meals and enjoying them.  I

thought it would be good for him to start out, not by cutting out everything and

starting with the intro diet, but by gradually removing the harmful items from

his diet.  The two most harmful we've decided on to begin with are dairy and

soda pop.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to *which* would be more beneficial

to begin with?  He drinks far more soda (at least one a day) than he does

dairy, but dairy really messes him up with congestion.  He wants to cut both

out, but one at a time.  We then plan to keep eliminating: pasta, rice (no

problem there, not a fan), potatoes, bread until he's doing SCD.  I know this

diet, even if he does it only modified in the beginning, will help him a LOT. 

Any ideas for transitioning him?

Thanks!
