Ellen,

I didn't notice any direct effect before SCD from eating eggs. All I know is I felt sick in my gut all the time, crushing exhaustion and a huge distended belly.

My food allergy test showed lots of allergies and I avoided those foods for a long time but nothing budged in my health. I was in a state of utter bewilderment, despair and frustration having worked with an alternative doctor all last year who did reams of tests on me and had me doing liver flushes and taking HUGE amounts of supplements ($800 a month!). So now being on SCD close to 3 weeks I can feel things changing in my gut. Especially in the mornings before any food my stomach feels flat, still a little bloated but way better. Other than the ache in my upper gut around my ribcage, the rest of it seems to be responding quite well.

When I did the intro diet I followed BTVC exactly. I ate a couple of eggs for breakfast (boiled or scrambled) and made the cheesecake which contains eggs too. My concern has never been D but rather constipation. So I figure if I'm eating eggs which I'm supposed to be allergic to but still making noticeable progress on the diet then I will carry on doing what I'm doing. I have become better at judging what bothers me during these days. When I tried an almond muffin, within an hour or two I had a stomach ache, felt tired and more bloated. A week later I tried tuna burgers and added just 2 tbsp of almond flour and the same reaction occurred. Now almonds are on my list of allergies so I'll have to wait maybe a few more months to try them. Bummer! DarleneIntestinal DysbiosisSCD 17 days

Darlene,What sort of symptoms did you originally have when eating eggs? And how did you reintroduce them into your diet? How many are you eating, and how are you preparing them?I've been egg-free since one month in on SCD, when I finally figured out that the persistent d I had every morning after breakfast resulted from my morning eggs. I'm ready to introduce them back in, but get a little worried about a reaction. I think I've seen someone here say to start with them in baked goods first, and work my way up. I'm just so ready for new tastes.Thanks!! Ellen>> Steve,> I totally avoided eggs for a long time, probably almost a year. I introduced them again now on SCD and didn't notice anything out

Boiled only for a long time--maybe a year even thought I tried sometimes with fried or scrambled.  It varies for everyone.  Fried was the least tolerated but now it's fine.

 

Just try it.  If it doesn't work, try again after more healing has taken place or you think you want to try again...if it sounds good.  Sometimes that is a good indicator.
