Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Are there any scientific reports/article that my friend could use to give to her doctor? Are there any nurses on this list who could vouch for the safety of the diet? My friend is struggling with nay sayers and at this point she can't get the digest to work. I will send info to her. Thanks for your help Sue SCD 2 months, CC 25 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 This link does not seem to be working. Is it my computer that is at fault? I will send some articles that I collected from my new mailbox.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I don't know of any scientifice articles, but here are a few things I do know. First, I ran the diet by the dietitian at the hospital where I work and she seems to think that if a variety of foods are consumed (in the long run) the short time of restriction should not be detrimental. Second, the nutrition book I used during nursing school advises to be wary of diets that eliminate groups of food or states that certain foods are " forbidden " . Seems logical enough. However those that are lactose or gluten intolerant eliminate these food with the approval and encouragement of mainstream medicine. SCD (this is of course simplified for these purposes) excludes grains and dairy, except the yogurt. I have done a bit of research and have listed here SCD legal (I think) alternatives. Dairy: Calcium - SCD yogurt, green leafy vegetables, small fish with bones, legumes Phosphorus - meat, poultry, eggs Sulfur - meat, poultry, eggs, fish, legumes, nuts Potassium - Fruits and vegetable (more than just bananas), legumes, meats Riboflavin - eggs, meat, green leafy vegetables Vitamin B12 - meat, fish, poultry, shellfish, eggs Retinol - liver, butter, egg yolk Vitamin D - sunlight, liver, fatty fish, egg yolks (be sure to get adequate amounts - usually comes from fortified foods) Vitamin K - Green leafy vegetables, liver, cabbage family vegies Grains: Fiber - fruits and vegies Thiamin - liver, legumes, nuts Niacin - all protein foods Vitamin B6 - meats, fish, poultry, legumes, friut, green leafy vegies, nuts Folate - leafy vegies, legumes, seeds, liver, some fruits Pantothenic Acid - meat, poultry, fish, legumes Biotin - eggs, liver Magnesium - green leafy vegies, legumes, seafood Selenium - seafood, liver, kidney, and other meats vitamin E - vegetable oils, nuts, seeds Potassium - Fruits and vegetables , legumes, meats Phosphorus - meat, poultry, eggs Iron - beef liver, red meats, clams, legumes, vegetables, nuts Sorry this is so long, but I hope it helps. And remember variety is not only the spice of life, but the sustainer of life. Dora (RN) Crohn's SCD 5/06 > > Are there any scientific reports/article that my friend could use to give to her doctor?
