Giving SCD a try

[Guest guest]

How can anyone tell if any diet will work without becomming regimented for a

period of time?

SCD works by killing off undesirable microbes by with holding their food

source, and giving the intestine easy to digest foods while it gets a move on

with healing. If you are using grains, you are feeding the gut bugs, and sending

more difficult to digest food down to a patch, holey mucosal layer to contend

with, meaning it is not healing, and becomming more worn from the inability to

digest it all leaving more leftovers for pathogenic flora.

I combine approaches and move forward, but I am doing and using SCD...I don't

take my favorite parts of this or that diet, leaving the less desirable, I keep

with observation...

for instance, I get everything fresh and from the pasture from Weston A

Price...

We have a hard time with phenols, and have gradually decreased phenol intake

per Feingold, but our tolerance is expanding.

We do this staying close to SCD.

You can't expect a principle to work if you are going against it at the same

time. Starving gut bugs and feeding them. Letting the mucosal layer rebound but

tearing it up further. Like LODers, you will have some success by simply

implementing yogurt and probiotics, which also helps to heal the intestines.

SCD is a progressive diet, aimed at repairing intestinal damage and breaking

the vicious cycle, it is not a symptomatic diet trying to passivate a couple

symptoms concurrent with leaky gut/UC/autism, what have you.

We can be open to other approaches, but understanding the approach you are

using is the only thing to bring clarity, otherwise, how will you know where to

move next?
