A lot of people like the pumpkin pie filling too (it's on pecanbread.com).  I like pecan butter with honey ;-) and the lemon curd is better than anything you get in a store.

Yum!!! I'll see if I have the energy for that tonight! Thanks!Pam >> Pam,> > What about lemon curd? It is made with 1/2 c lemon juice, 6 egg yolks, 1/2 butter chilled in cubes, 1/2 honey. Using a double boiler or a non-reactive bowl over a pan of gently boiling water, whisk the juice, egg yolks, and honey together. As it warms, add a piece of butter and stir until melted. Continue doing the same with all the pieces of butter. Cook for about 5-10 minutes more until thickened. Let cool and chill. Can have on toast, in pastry cups, on meringue nests, or mixed with fresh berries.

Yup, meringues is next on the list of my new culinary forays! Curious, has anyone on this list gained weight because of the diet? Unwanted weight, that is? DarleneIntestinal DysbiosisSCD 3 weeks & counting

Remember, starting an intense work-out program isn't recommended the first six months of starting SCD. I'm sure 'intense' would vary with where you start healthwise. Better to let healing take place.Where are you getting this from, Debby?I know Carol F. used to say something like this, but I never heard anyone else say it. And i asked Marilyn about it. I think it really depends on whether you are up to it or not andwhether working out is part of your health regime or not.ly, I find working out very helpful and it always improvedmy health and my symptoms.

Darlene,The C and bloating will make you feel and weigh you heavier than normal. I would hazard a guess that is contributing to it. Hypothyroid is not the same as adrenal fatigue but they usually go together -- if you have hypo for a long time, you generally have adrenal fatigue because the adrenal glands are trying to take up the slack of the underperforming thyroid. Tired after a night's sleep is a sure sign of adrenal fatigue.Yoga is a good way to exercise and 10 minute walks are good too, the point is not to overdo. You are trying to heal your body and sometimes exercise (on top of daily living) is too much until healing and correction of problems takes place.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, March 18, 2010 1:53:23 PMSubject: Re: Re: I need DESSERT!!!!

Amelia,

Thanks for your response. I have gained about 10 pounds in the past 2 years of being laid up. I was 110 lbs at 5'1". Being short means it all goes around the middle so 120 feels a bit heavy for me and packing on anymore would make me feel ugh. I feel heavy though because of my bloat and C. Then when I eat a good meal I feel even heavier and "backed up". But I'll give it time and let my gut do some more healing which is the first priority anyway over weight. Hypothyroid is adrenal fatigue, is it not? I have had that for years and years, used to drive myself relentlessly to do exercise and the last 2 years just could not. So now I've started a yoga class once a week and am trying to get myself to walk everyday, even if only for 10 minutes. Exercise, if I can get myself to do it, boosts my cortisol levels which are bottomed out in the mornings. I'm usually totally exhausted when I wake up and start the day.

Darlene,I suppose the weight issue is one of how active are you? Most people report that eventually the diet 'normalizes' a person's weight to one that is right for that person. Of course, it is always possible to eat too much and gain weight, but usually the food is so dense that you will feel 'yuck' if you do it too much. Just like foods tolerated, it is a very individual thing. And yes, people have gained weight ON the diet, but not usually BECAUSE of the diet -- usually it is because they are eating more calories than they are using. I wouldn't worry about this in the beginning of the diet because as you heal you will require a lot of calories -- just make sure they are from varied food sources. For example one nut muffin is like 350 - 400 calories. Most people freak at this thought, but if you aren't eating the starches and sugar

that

normally resides in regular muffins, it is o.k because you are actually getting more nutrients vs. the empty calories of a regular muffin and that makes all the difference in the world. I am 5' 4" and weigh 138 lbs (with hypothyroid problems) and wear about a size 8-10. I eat 1 muffin, 1 boiled egg, one cup of yogurt with honey and tea or coffee (with coconut milk) each morning for breakfast. Lunch is usually like a mini dinner if I have left overs or cheese, nuts, and fruit if I don't. Dinner is usually a meat and two veggies and dessert a couple of times a week. I do nothing extra other than keeping up the house, food, laundry and three boys -- in short I don't 'work out.' I maintain my weight with no problems at all, but I can't easily lose it either (might be part of the hypothyroid issue).Don't stress about it unless it starts looking like a real, long-term, problem and after you have been on the diet for

quite some time. Amelia

Mara,

How has exercise helped you? What are your symptoms? And what kind of workouts do you do? Do you struggle with fatigue?

I asked after being on the diet for a few months and I thought it was several people who told me to wait at least six months-depending on where you are healthwise when you start.  I mentioned walking.  I think Marilyn (maybe I'm wrong) mentioned water exercise.

Exercise create endorphins. IBS/IBD people and people with auto-immunediseases have a deficit of endorphins. Endorphins help theimmune system fully function. They can produce short term instant benefits - you have to do it regularly, though, to keep on gettingbenefits, because this kind of endorphin production is finite. You usethem up. So exercise is good, in my book. It's always helped me feel better immediatelywhich was obvious to me. Though at timeswhen I overdid it, by which I mean intense daily workouts 4-6 times aweek, before I started SCD, which generally caused me not to have asmuch energy the next week, though I'm only recognizing fully now whatthe problem was. Lately, I'm mostly doing advanced yoga - fast paced level 3 vinyasa with lots of inversions kind of thing. But I used to also do a lot of kickboxing and sports training.
