Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 do you all feel that you are on a diet for the rest of your lives?>>>> No, i, not at all! How can we call it a diet if we eat whatever we want ,whenever we want? Its no different than what we eat before surgery.....except I find myself craving proteins whereas I didnt crave them pre opt! Also what is ADEK? ADEK's are special vitamins A, D, E and K for people who malabsorb and they are made for cystic fibrosis patients but we can order them for us too. You suck on them or chew them...not bad tasting.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have tried weight watchers also and I gained twice as much back after I started eating again. I am weak and I knew it. Yes this may be the easy way out but Im glad I did it and anyone who has had it done will say " ITS NOT SO " TOOTIN " EASY !!!!!!! I work as a Therapetuic Recreation Aide at a Cerbal Palsey Home and my break down was when we took our residents to Hershey Park and got to go in the " exit " ramp. We carried the resident onto the " Water Soaker " and when I went to get in the seat the bar would not close. Two BIG men came over and tried to push it to get it shut. Then said im sorry but you cant ride. I was so humiliated because there were about 200 peps waiting to get on the ride and we had to carry the resident off until the next turn so someone thinner could ride with them. I cried off and on the rest of the day. Thank God my boyfriend volunteered that day to come along and he kept telling me it was ok. But I knew deep down in it wasnt ok I made a total " JACKASS " out of myself. I had my surgery on June 23, 2004 and cant wait to ride in June of 2005 at Hershery. When I know I will fit on all the rides. Tammy In PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi all, I recently decided to start the SCD Diet, though I've already been more-or-less lactose free, low grain, and totally soy-free for a year. I have two concerns, however. First, what about a soy-free miso? I'm lucky enough to live in an area where I can purchase a small-batch, commercial miso, made from adzuki beans (also, I don't see these on the list, though I understand that they have some of the simpler sugars of the legume family). Miso is broken down by Kojiken, a specific fermenting strain used in Japanese food. The kojiken releases many enzymes that aid digestion in addition to the normal work the fermentation process accomplishes. As a result, miso makes all the amino acids and vitamins naturally occurring in legumes hyperavailable. Also, I have been eating Kombu semi-regularly and find it's ability to gently detox is unmatched. Although I'm no biochemist, it doesn't seem like Kombu has any starches in it. Why are seaweeds blanket illegal? Has someone found specific seaweeds more or less harmful than others? Lastly, the legal/illegal list, although great for an average diet, is kind of generally inadequate for someone who regularly goes outside of the normal western diet (e.g. what about paneer cheese? Is this the same thing as " dry curd cottage cheese " ?). Is anyone thinking about/working on a wiki or something like that, where we could have maybe more than one line of info for each item (e.g. I assume there are brands of " apple juice " which are closer to the requirements of " apple cider " as well as vice versa), plus add new items? Thanks! Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Evan,Hello and welcome to the group! Although I can not speak to the miso question or seaweed, I can tell you that paneer is not the same as DCCC. Paneer is made simply by boiling milk and adding an acid like vinegar or lemon juice until it curdles. The liquid is then strained off and the curds left are then left to drip in a cloth then pressed. Because there is no enzyme/bacterial action on the milk, you are just basically eating a solid form of liquid milk with all the lactose intact and the proteins intact. There is a couple of ways to make your own DCCC if you can not find it available. You can just drip the SCD 24 hour yogurt or you can take the same SCD yogurt and warm it very gently until it curdles then strain/drip (you would also lose the good bacteria this way--which won't matter if you are going to cook/bake with it). The latter gives a slightly dryer 'cheese.'I will say also that although you feel some of the things on the legal list can be beneficial, you need to keep in mind that the good they might do a healthy person, might not equal the same good to someone with gut issues. It might provide some good, but provide more harm to make it overall not beneficial. After you have been free of symptoms and had no flares for a period of 1 year, then Elaine says one can try illegal foods to test them. At this point you are trying to give yourself a good point from which to start healing. Sometimes even legal foods cause problems and it is best to cut out all illegals so that you can know what is causing a problem. Starting with the intro diet and then slowly adding foods in will help you see what works for you and what doesn't. I know it is a long, slow, tedious process, but really worth the effort.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 20 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD <BTVC-SCD >Sent: Sun, March 7, 2010 8:21:43 PMSubject: Hi Hi all, I recently decided to start the SCD Diet, though I've already been more-or-less lactose free, low grain, and totally soy-free for a year.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think the problem with the seaweeds is that they are mucilaginous, not a discussion of this or that starch in them.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is from Elaine's site www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info The SCD™ Knowledge Base Mucilaginous Polysaccharides Elaine writes: Seaweed is high in polysaccharides. It may be called a " sea vegetable " but it sort of falls into the same category of okra (at least, as far as SCD™ is concerned), and also herbs like marshmallow and slippery elm. Slimy, mucilaginous substances are often prescribed by some who think the " coating " properties are helpful to the intestines. They aren't. We who have compromised guts cannot digest this stuff - but our bugs can have quite a party on it. Carrageenan and Seaweed Elaine writes: Seaweeds are forbidden because of the abundance of research dealing with carrageenan, a seaweed. Two researchers, and Marcus, upon investigating a pharmaceutical made out of hydrolyzed carrageenan, found that the tiniest miniscule of it in the drinking water of numerous laboratory animals caused ulcerative colitis. Seaweed is high in polysaccharides. It may be called a " sea vegetable " but it sort of falls into the same category of okra (at least, as far as SCD™ is concerned), and also herbs like marshmallow and slippery elm. Slimy, mucilaginous substances are often prescribed by naturopaths who think the " coating " properties are helpful to the intestines. They aren't. We who have compromised guts cannot digest this stuff - but our bugs can have quite a party on it. ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
