Re: Difficulties starting out

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Sorry you are having trouble but it's pretty common at first when we are

just starting to sort things out. I wouldn't say at all that honey

needs to be thought of as central to SCD. It's just legal. I've been on

SCD since July, haven't had honey and frankly, if I never do it won't be

a big surprise. I have hypoglycemia and gave up all concentrated sweets

in 1975. But I have no trouble with fruit.

As to what to do, take it slowly. If you get a reaction, go backwards a

bit to what you know works, let things settle down, then go forward

again. Something that doesn't work now very likely will work for

you after a bit, after some healling. I know this isn't a " do

this and it will be perfect " list, but we are all different and have

to experiment. It's worth it, though.

Honey seems kind of central to SCD (and if I can't tolerate honey,

why should I be able to tolerate, say, apples?), so I wonder how to test

whether that's causing my problems or what..
