Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Licia,If you don't eat the duck livers often, I would suspect them as well. Especially if you saw what looked like fat mixed in with your green cappuccino. Duck livers are incredibly high in fat and if the reports are true, duck and geese are force fed grains just to make their livers larger and higher in fat. You could have been reacting to the fat (with fat malabsorption) or the grain from their feed.

Hi Its been awhile since I've been able to post anything - I'm constantly juggling chasing a toddler and cooking SCD foods! The best I've been able to manage is to try to keep up with reading the list. I've been pretty healthy for some time, but last night I had a bit of a rough night (just very disturbed sleep, a lot of gas, and unhappy dreams) and this morning spent some time on the toilet emptying out EVERYTHING. No pain, no B, just D, D, D. The last of the contents were new to me: it looked like a lovely olive green frothy cappuccino. Mmmm. Hope no one's having their breakfast coffee while reading this. So, a little background. I've been on SCD since I was diagnosed with colitis in Feb 2006; I took 20mg prednisone and tapered down by July 2006. No meds since. Minor flare at 12 months, and another at 8 months ago (this one caused by SCD yogurt), both controlled by a return to the starter diet. I take acidophilus, multi-B, B12, DHA/EPA, calcium, zinc, C, D, and have been taking grapefruit seed extract for the last 2 weeks to fight off a stubbornly latched-on flu (which is tapering nicely). All of these are legal and I have been on them for years. I eat most things, except dairy (butter's ok) and I haven't introduced beans yet. I'm trying to figure out what could have caused this weird D/gas, and I'm only able to come up with the pate I made last night: duck livers, butter, olive oil, onions, garlic, fresh rosemary, salt, pepper, white wine vinegar, apple juice (all legal and in regular use). My question is has anyone else experienced this foamy D? I'm thinking I might have a reaction to liver, but I haven't come across this in anyone else's posts before. Any comments/suggestion s appreciated! Licia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks Amelia - I hadn't considered the grain-heavy diet possibility, but I suspect its more to do with fat malabsorption in some form unique to liver. I've given the entire batch to a friend to enjoy. Very sad, as the pate had turned out incredibly well! Back to chicken stock and carrots for me...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I've wondered if some or all of us could be reacting to grain-fed meats. How would you even tell, I wonder.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I react to grain fed meats! I get rashes on my hips. I think it is my soy allergy acting up. > > > > Licia, > > > > If you don't eat the duck livers often, I would suspect them as well.
