Re: If fruit is legal why does it have to be introduced with caution?

[Guest guest]

I did. My doc told me I had to get on humira or remicaid and that my meds prob

weren't helping much. I forgot to take my meds for a few days and realize I was

feeiling better. I started taking them again and felt worse. Took my self off

and I felt better again. I stayed off after that. I haven't been back to my GI

since I started SCD. She said diet had nothing to do with crohns.

Hello gang. I'm new to SCD and like many of you, after 4 weeks or " jumping the

gun " (although even doing SCD incorrectly proved to me the benefits of the diet

by experiencing a decrease in gas and bloating almost immediately, not to

mention having lost some of my " prednisone weight " in the past few weeks!) I am

back to trying to follow the Intro stage to a tee...my problem is that I seem to

gag just thinking about the chicken soup, let alone enjoying eating it (which is

surprising to me as I used to LOVE non-SCD chicken soups of all kinds, even

homeade, but mainly with the noodle and super salty stock of course). I am

thrilled to now see I may not be crazy as others have complained of this feeling

about the soup as well, and excited to try this Beef Roast recipe! Thank you so

much for sharing, not being much of a cook myself, I was daunted at the task of

how to switch from chicken soup which had a clear recipe in the BTVC book, to

figuring out how to make a beef version that PecanBread site says is OK for

intro. Will let you know how it turns out.

chicken is a problem and I don't have diarrhea. I also cannot understand why I

need to introduce fruit slowly or with caution if it is legal and I don't seem

to have a problem with it.

To all of you who posted in reply to my question, thanks a lot. I will try to do

the beef roast - although I don't know what a crock pot is but I will find out

(I am in the UK).

However, my lovely people, I still don't have an answer to why you have to

introduce fruits with caution and/or slowly? And if they don't give me any grief

do I need to worry about them?
