Re: Still have obstructions on SCD

[Guest guest]

Am I just not giving it enough of a chance with 2mo of 100% legals and no weight gain?Pretty much. SCD requires some serious patience. I've been on it almost a year and still have to have meds to control my symptoms. I wasn't quite clear from your email, did you do the 2 months of strict SCD, then add illegalls, THEN get the obstruction? Or add illegals, then go back to 2 months of 100% SCD, then get the obstruction? SCD really isn't very effective if you don't do it 100%, and it does take a long time; 2 months isn't very long at all. Also, did you do the intro diet, or start with easier to digest foods? Eating all SCD legal is one thing, but usually people don't start healing until they take a step back and figure out what specific foods within the diet's parameters their own bodies tolerate best.

SCD has to be done 100%. 90% is just like not being on it at all. This is

because we are dealing with bacteria. It is not like a weight loss diet where

one bite of fattening food won't ruin the diet. One bite of an illegal is not

much for a person, but it is a feast for bacteria.

I am sorry you got sick. I hope you will give SCD a full chance. It takes a long

time, is a slow process, and it has to be done 100%. 90% takes a lot of work and

effort, so better to go the full 100% and not undo your hard work.

Hope you feel better soon.
