Re: Avoiding supplements for a day - anyone else feel better with this?

[Guest guest]

Hey Kat!

I really struggled with my 3 month flare and everyone on the list serv

recommended stopping my supplements (I was doing a multi-vitamin, calicium and

probiotics). Well... they were right! It definitely helped eased things. I've

added the multi back in, but that's it for now. I am taking it nice and slow.

And I'm sure others have mentioned it, but iron feeds the bad bacteria (that is

why we have to find a multivitamin without it). So I could see how cutting that

out would really help

a few days, adding strawberries, and building up how much yogurt I was taking to

probably 1.5 C/day. I stopped all three, but the day after I also stopped all

supplements, waited till my guts felt ready for water and drank a ton of it,

plus my SCD foods that I knew worked, but not much. I felt great. Same next day.
