New to SCD

[Guest guest]

welcome - very smart family -i'm sure she'll thrive on scd !!! yes aloe is

illegal as well as the protein shakes and no fruits yet - follow the book -

intro 2-5 days (no more but probably 5 as she has D)you may find it helpful to

go to the other scd yahoo group pecanbread they tend to follow the stages and

have more kids on there - mind you if they'r eon for autism - your diet will

differ a bit dairy wise - i have found the stages helpful - the stages are

listed on pecanbread.com and every food won't agree and don't all need to be had

before moving on to the next stage - GO SLOW - follow to a tee!! and keep a

food diary - things may present themselves that she seemed ok with before - Good

luck and welcome again

Hadassah,

Oh, yes, watching those you love suffer is so hard!

Do you have a copy of Breaking the Vicious Cycle yet? You should

have received a " short form " of what is involved in the diet

when you joined this group.

>> She has been drinking fruit-shakes (banana, plain yogurt, apple

juice and protein powder (non-dairy) Taking a pro-biotic and aloe and

eating what little foods seem to not cause her a flare-up. I see that

Aloe is a no-no and there may be an element in her pro-biotic that is

also a no-no. <<

The first thing you must do is make your own yogurt for her. SCD yogurt

is fermented for at least 24 hours. Store-bought yogurt is only fermented

for 4-6 hours, and has quite a bit of lactose in it.

You must also be certain that the bananas she receives are completely

ripe -- skin yellow, lots of little brown speckles, because otherwise,

there is too much starch in it.

What foods do not give her a flare up?

The protein powder is not SCD-legal -- but she can obtain lots of good,

healthy protein from fresh chicken, fresh beef, and fresh fish. I also

ate pork, but if you keep kosher, that will not be acceptable.

I have read the ingredients on Ensure. It was almost all sugar, which

will feed the bad bacteria in her gut.

For her smoothies, you can use yogurt, and banana, and if tolerated, ripe

avocado. For protein, you can add peeled hard boiled eggs. I would

suggest adding meat to it, also, but again, if you keep kosher, you will

not want to mix meat and the dairy yogurt.

I often make (just because I enjoy them!) " savory smoothies, "

with homemade beef or poultry broth, some of the meat from same, steamed

peeled zucchini, and whatever seasonings I happen to enjoy.

<g> I'm glad the post about " Time in the Kitchen " helped

you figure out how to organize things. Something you will find as things

progress is that it is possible to fix one meal for the whole family, and

then add a few things for the non-SCDers (or not!). My husband eats 100%

SCD at home, and gets things like rice or wheat bread when we eat out.

Hadassah,

A good site for kids is pecanbread.com. It is a site for children with ASD

(Autism spectrum), and they are on a non cow's milk diet. This does not apply to

children with GI issues and not ASD and your grand daughter can have legal SCD

cow's milk yogurt and cheese as tolerated.

There are some great recipes that kids would love.

Yes, get the book BTVC. One of the most important things to do is go on the

" intro diet " for a few days (only a few days) and then slowly advance with stage

1 foods. She may not gain weight at this stage, but if you can get some of the

higher calorie foods into her, she should regain it. Most kids love the

" cheesecake " recipe and later, the nut butter brownies.

The intro diet calls for homemade soup. Using a meat with bones, like chicken,

is very nutritious and soothing to the gut. (our Bubbes were right ) There is a

recipe in BTVC, and also info on how to make soup here:

http://www.westonaprice.org/Broth-is-Beautiful.html

Be sure to only use SCD legal foods when making any recipe.

Home made applesauce is another treat kids like. I'm the one on SCD in my

family, but I can't keep my daughter (age 15) out of my SCD foods and goodies

when I make them. She loves the applesauce and the soup.

I hope your grand daughter feels better soon. It's so good that you can help her

parents.

I am not sure that ignoring doctor recommendation can be called smart. Ask for a

second opinion, but don't browse the internet for magic cures. There are lots of

them and most of them don't work. Crohn is a very dangerous disease especially

to a young person. There is nothing wrong with enteral nutrition (Ensure). There

are lots of studies indicating that it induces remission and helps with weight

gain. You can always try SCD when she gets better.

is one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Actually, this is a yes, and a no.

The assumption by many doctors (and patients) that a patient is unable to

assess themselves is totally unacceptable. A capable health care

practitioner is a godsend. A practitioner who LISTENS and makes his/her

years of study available to his clients even more so.

My former primary care physician, for years, took the attitude that if I

would just stop stuffing my face and lose some weight " IT, "

whatever " IT " was would clear up. He said this even after I had

lost 180 pounds.

This applied to my gut issues (which I solved with SCD after research),

my inability to sleep, my hip pain, (both of which turned out to be

undiagnosed sleep apnea) and the post-menopausal bleeding which was the

first sign of my cancer. If I had left it up to him, I would not have

gone to my gynecologist, would not have gotten the surgery, and would not

now have two years of negative tests behind me.

I could not perform surgery on myself; I needed my oncologist for that.

But my oncologist was aware of the role of nutrition in my healing and

worked with me.

The chief problem with too many practitioners is that they consider

themselves gods to be worshiped. Other have the problem that they

practice what they were taught, which is the current Medical

Establishment party line. Most doctors get their knowledge of treatment

for gut issues from Big Pharma. Big Pharma doesn't want to find a CURE,

whatever they say. They want a TREATMENT... because a treatment insures

repeat customers. And we with gut issues are very profitable

customers.

I live in my body. I know my body better than anyone else in the world. I

may consult a medical professional for advice, but no one, and I do mean

NO ONE tells me what I am permitted to do. A practitioner would lose me

as a patient the moment s/he said s/he would not permit me to do

something, no matter how good the rest of his/her services might be.

Hello everyone,

I am new to all this...one month to be exact. I was diagnosed with celiac 20+ years ago, but never got "better" with the celiac friendly diet...............I learned of SCD when searching for some answers. I recently saw my GI, who recommend I follow the FODMAPS diet???????????? Anyone out there heard of this?...Also, the GI wanted me to take vsl #3 probiotic.........any one try that?

I just have to say I look up to you all.......and I have to ask all you out there who are familiar with SCD............why is the end of the day the worse? when I have my supper, which is SCD safe, does my body seem unsatisfied with what I fed it...and I seem to crave something?...no sweet? but nuts or something fat.

Any insight welcomed.

God Bless everyone of you:)

[Guest guest]

why is the end of the day the worse? when I have my supper, which is SCD safe, does my body seem unsatisfied with what I fed it...and I seem to crave something?...no sweet? but nuts or something fat.Not quite sure, but good fats are generally very healing and healthy. Maybe your body just needs more fat! Try adding good-quality butter or coconut oil to your dinner to see if that helps.

welcome!!! i have celiac too (and possible crohns or some intestinal corrosion)

dx by 2 clueles docs and never officially dx by the gi i trust -and it was gone

9 months on scd

i think my belly was worse at night in the beg too - vsl is not legal - try

lactobacillus acidophilus with nothing illegal in it - klaire labs and kirkmans

are just 2 brands i know of - also it can be hard to digest fat in the beginning

- go slow ,hang in -keep a food diary also digestion works better in the day so

maybe a dinner meal for lunch and lighter p.m.??? - ask away - and again welcome

I'm glad I'm not the only one, Terri. It is a bit mystifying why

this happens one day and not the next. Obviously if it was all the

time we'd be taking the extra fat every day. I do feel a bit silly

just eating a spoonful of butter or CO! I suppose our requirements

vary from day to day.

[Guest guest]

What a revelation this is! My body must be not getting enough fat lately,

because my chicken soup has been so damn satisfying. I was worried about

heartburn-related reactions to too much fat - I stopped having eggs or frying

anything because of this. Need to start cooking with olive oil and try some

avocado again - i was getting bloated-related symptoms, but i think in a

smoothie i'd do better with it. And I'm officially making some almond milk

today - that needs to be going in smoothies to balance out the fruit and

veggies. Today I had a smoothie with banana, carrots, and apple cider and then

forgot to bring my lunch with me. I was out for almost 6 hours and all I had

was a banana. Man, my bus ride home was full of cravings for some of that

chicken! Didn't help that my haircut took almost 2 hours - I went for a crazy

short haircut, hope it gives me some positive change vibes for my health to

change too, for the better Seriously, I carried around a 3 pound lock of hair

in my purse today. I also feel strangely light headed, it's quite a cool

feeling of freedom though. Anyways, gotta make sure I'm getting that fat! So

much trial and error...

I am helping my 87 year old mom who is struggling with diverticulitus and has

had irretable bowel for many years. She has been on the intro diet for about 5

days and her stool hss become more regular but her insides are raw and she is

having troubles with weight loss - she is down to 100 lbs from about 120 in the

last month. I need to get more calories into her with as little irretation as

possible any suggestions?

I have also not started her on homemade yogart because I just got the stuff I

need to make it. Should I start her on the yogart now or wait?

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated?

Check the archives for August, September, and October of 2009 -- I was

doing savory smoothies for my Mom, who had decided she didn't want to

eat.

Homemade broth or tomato juice, cooked vegetables, cooked meat, pureed in

a blender with some spices, and served as a thick soup in a mug.

Didn't catch your name,Fats are usually a good way to increase weight if she can tolerate them. Coconut oil, avocado, and butter are all good healthy fats so use them liberally in everything -- including smoothies when she can tolerate them. As you add cooked fruits, you can chill them and then use them to make smoothies adding butter or coconut oil for richness. You can also add boiled eggs into the smoothie as well for added protein. In fact, most foods could be pureed at this point to help with digestion and be more gentle on the intestines. You could try mashed avocado, egg, and chopped cooked chicken together to make a patty and then pan fry or bake -- or using a small scoopfuls, bake as 'meatballs.'Starting homemade yogurt would be good. You can make

it with 1/2 milk and 1/2 cream to make a richer yogurt to add weight as well. Just start her out VERY slowly -- like 1/2 a tsp to see how it goes. If she tolerates that, up it to a full teaspoon after a few days and so on, but never more than 3 cups in a day. Try to add only 1 new thing at a time to evaluate if she is tolerating it. At this point, she is able to try ripe bananas if she wants as well. Just don't rush it. I know you have concerns about her weight, but adding foods too quickly can cause even more problems. I would determine if she can have the bananas, and then start adding the yogurt. I would alternate new foods with upping the amount of yogurt, leaving enough time between to see her body's reaction.

suppliments before we get the DR's results re her blood levels just to support

the weakness she is feeling? She is already on some like a B100 but it is not

the ones recommended on the SCD. Should I stop these until we get the right

ones?

,It is good to treat supplements as a new food. Elaine felt that supplements really weren't need, especially early on because the gut was not healed and most likely they wouldn't be absorbed very well if at all. If it were me, I would stop them for the time being and then add in some recommended ones after some healing has taken place if there are still ongoing deficiencies. It is possible that the weakness she is feeling is just from trying to adjust to eating no refined carbs and going from a bacterial fermentation based digestion to an enzymed based digestion again (like we are supposed to have). Pre-SCD I did the Akins diet and I did feel week at first because one cuts out all sorts of things, including the 'sweeter' veggies and all fruit. It does get

better on it's own as the body adjusts, though.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sun, May 30, 2010 2:32:01 PMSubject: Re: New to SCD

The legal Freeda vitamins are good vitamins, but are not high potency

ones. If she needs a B-100, check to be certain there are no illegals in

the one you are using.

I have had, in the past, significant malabsorption, and at one point was

taking three B-100s per day to get what I needed.
