Messed up! Ate breaded chicken

[Guest guest]

I have been on SCD since 4/21/10. I got through the die-off period and was

feeling pretty good for a few days, starting to get back to some light gardening

and walking a tiny bit, etc. My brain seemed to be clearing up some, too. Then,

I was in a situation where I made the decision to eat a piece of chicken with

breading (I picked most of the breading off). I know better - not making

excuses. There really isn't a good reason other than I was very hungry and I

wasn't in a place to do anything differently. That was last Wednesday (5/19) and

I've had non-stop D w/blood since. I am missing work today (5/24) because I'm

too tired and dehydrated.

Anyway, I'm on intro foods. Any advice about how long you think this might last

is appreciated. I know none of this is scientific, meaning we all react

differently to things. I was surprised at how quickly my D stopped when I

started SCD. I'm hoping for more of the same. I'm kicking myself for the

screw-up, but I can pretty much guarantee it won't happen again.

Thanks, Gwen

I hope this stops quickly. Since you have been on SCD, you may have killed off

some of the weaker gut bugs and the stronger ones are hanging around. You just

fed them and also the gluten. Stay on intro and them stage one foods and hang

in there. You had a good response so hopefully it will improve.

Gwen,

Well, first of all, don't kick yourself because you made a mistake. I got

trapped into a situation like that Christmas Eve of my first year.

We went to one of my parents' favorite restaurants. I ordered pan-fried

veal, and TOLD them what I could not have.

Well, they brought out my meal, and they'd coated it in FLOUR. I wanted

to send it back. My parents told me to stop making a scene and to just

eat my food! And, un-brave person that I was then, I did.

Almost didn't make it home (about a half hour from the restaurant) before

the diarrhea started. And I also almost missed the candlelight Christmas

Eve service which is one of my favorite times of the year, all because of

that darn flour.

After that, I knew SCD was my path, and I became very pro-active on it.

Of course, it helped that I had a husband to back me up. <g> His

favorite line became " What part of 'Marilyn can't eat that' don't

you understand? "

Are you currently taking a probiotic? I've found that a bit of extra

acidolphilus and some s. boulardii can help when I get a bit of a

rumble.
