Re: Constipation and SCD Yogurt?

[Guest guest]

There is a constipation protocol on Elaine's website, that involves orange juice

and prune nectar.

Adding a supplement of magnesium citrate may help, too... but just start with a

small amount and work up to where you want to be.

Constipation and SCD Yogurt?

I'm noticing a little constipation since I've increased my intake of

SCD Yogurt. Is this a common occurrence? I've also added mashed

cauliflower, asparagus, string beans, pear sauce, custard made with scd

yogurt. I do have a little swiss and cheddar during the day but would

like to keep it in my diet. I have a little (about three 2 " squares of

almond bread) a day too. I love this diet but feel a bit sore when I

have to strain, going to the bathroom. I'm drinking more water and

juice, hoping that will help. I read on Elaine's site that stewed

prunes help. Any special brand of prunes recommended or anything else?

I don't want to risk diarrhea again, so hoping for a mild dietary hint.

I seem to always go from either loose to constipation. I guess it takes

a while to straighten this out.

Best wishes,

Ronnie

Thanks Patti,

Just wondered if the SCD Yogurt could possibly cause this

" sluggishness " or if it it's just cheese in general, because at

first I was leery about increasing the yogurt, concerned it may

do the opposite and cause more loose stools.

Thanks again and have a good evening.

hi

we always get some constipation when we introduce/increase goat

yogurt, we hold at that amount until bms return to normal and then

we increase again. for us constipation is evidence of yeast, so we

go small and slow with the yogurt. sometimes i find using 1 or 2

teaspoons of liquid paraffin helps just to get things moving - i

find the prune juice can antagonise yeast for us. we are using

goats cheese and butter which also can sometimes be constipating so

ive been told, also im know that cauli is quite fibrous and

therefore can also be constipating, or cause the opposite, depending

on the child/person. however, the cheese/butter isnt an issue for

us this time round and we are still in the early stages, having

plenty of diluted juice and fruit generally can also help to loossen

things - sorry its so longwinded, just trying to remember everything

ive been told, when we did the diet the first time round - this our

3rd attempt (for resons out of my control), we were all incredibly

constipated

hth in some small way

emma 32 kai 8 asd dspx fian behaviorally recovered with enzymes but

still experiencing bowel problems, scd 7 weeks now.

Thank you for the information. It helps to know that the yogurt and

cauliflower may be the culprits!
