Does anyone know if it is okay to take psyllium husk on SCD. If not is

there an alternative?

Not OK. Too fibrous and indigestible and like grain.

Hi my son has an impaction which he is going to be given enemas for and we

are going to start oxypowder. Does anybody add anything for bulk to the

diet?

Elaine,

There is a " constipation protocol " on Elaine's website:

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info I hope that helps.

I've also read from others on this list that beets, and fresh beet juice, and

very helpful for constipation. Beets might not normally be a beginning food, but

if constipation is a big concern, they might need to be introduced earlier

(peeled & cooked for sure... pureed maybe). Can you imagine a banana beet

smoothie?

Are you using plenty of green beens and squash?

Constipation is not uncommon in the beginning weeks/months of SCD... but usually

diminishes with time.
