sugar-free, if it tasted nice-free for almost 3 months. I turned to SCD because

the Metagenics supplements and herbs my naturopath had me on gave me constant

diarrhea. I have undiagnosed IBS/Leaky Gut/Chronic Fatigue/multiple food

intolerances. Prior to the naturopath, I was constantly constipated, now

constant diarrhea. I got really concerned, although I'm nothing like the 10-20

visits a day (more like 2), but my energy, which was pretty poor before is now

very low and like most, I have to work, run a home etc. I have done the intro,

then tried almond bread and some almond butter and the D continued, so went back

onto the intro and the D continued (for a week)and I got weaker. I got so

desperate that after trawling through the old Long Island listserve, got some

slippery elm, now I find it is illegal (stopped the D though). I can't tolerate

cows milk, so am currently on

> Goats milk and goats yoghurt, beef and chicken broth, carrots, zucchini,

green beans, a little chicken, a little beef. Is it ok for the D to continue?

I tried the pear & apple sauce, but it sends me to sleep, whereas I really need

more energy - does anyone have any ideas?

> Hi Jodi, no fruit juices - too rough on me. Have now cut out eggs. I made

the SCD yoghurt with milk and just went straight through me, so am trying goats

yoghurt - maybe it's the casein in the milk that was a contributing problem. No

coffee or tea for 3 months, no carbonated water - just plain filtered.

Everything is cooked within an inch of it's life. I started an SCD-like diet

around 3 months ago (no dairy or honey, though the rest was pure SCD). I

started the SCD just over a week ago to try to stop the D and at the same time

went off all naturopathic remedies as they seemed to make it worse. Now, it's

11.30 at night (Australia) and I'm buzzing with energy and sleep will be hard.

Tomorrow, I'll be dragging through the day. This is my last resort as this has

been going on for on an off about 40 years and this has to be the solution.
