Re:5 months on SCD

[Guest guest]

Thank you Misty. I guess I need more patience; knowing that somebody else had the same experience is going to help me stay on SCD.

I have been on SCD for 7 months and it's only the last week or so that I

have been able to add a few more veggies to my diet from where I

started. Don't get discouraged, just go with what works.

I have 2 questions:

1- I have been on SCD for 5 months. It improved some aspects ( number

of bowel movt/day, insomnia, itchiness rectal and vaginal) but some other

aspects come back (diarrhea, undigested food, mucus)and last about a day.

Is it normal?

2- I have lost 12 pounds since I am on this diet, I now weigh 98 lbs.

I eat only stage 1 (based on Pecan Bread) foods. For the past 5 months, I

have been eating meat, eggs, fish, spinach,squash, pecan and almond milk,

chicken broth, apple sauce and apple cider. I still cannot tolerate

yogurt (about 1 month ago, I tried 1 tsp and I had diarrhea). 2 weeks

ago, I tried pecan butter and I had diarrhea, undigested food. Is it

normal to have to be on stage 1 that long. I just need some guidance? If

you have any idea of new food (especially fattening) I could add, that

would be much appreciated.

My standard line is, " G-d grant me patience... and grant it

NOW! "

You are welcome. Just take it slow and it will work. I was skeptical but

diligent and it paid off!!!
