medications with illegals.

[Guest guest]

Hi friends

I've asked this question before, and didn't recieve any answer (that I'm aware

of)

I've been on the SCD diet for several months now, and have seen marked results.

The only problem is that I'm taking meds like Claversal, which is similar to

lialda, and it has illegals like guar gum or some kind of starch or other, that

is considered illegal. I'm not really sure what to do, because I'm afraid of

taking no medication, and yet it seems rather redundant to be on a diet, and do

things contrary to the principles of the diet, at the same time.

Please, advice would be well appreciated. As y'all know, doctors aren't exactly

supportive of the idea that our disease is food related///

Thanks

How will I know if I recieve a response to this???

Elaine said if you need to take your medication, do so. Some people have their

medication compounded without illegals.

Isn't there something in the BTVC book about omitting eggs until you see improvement with 'd'?  It is too early with almond flour because it's considered advanced but have you tried pecan butter?  I know it's hard in the beginning to find foods you can tolerate.

 

Dripped yogurt is yogurt cheese.  A lot of us use it when we can't get the dry curd cottage cheese.Can you eat gelatin with juice (love that you have your own apple and grape juice), frenched green beans, butternut or yellow squash, pumpkin pie filling, avocado, cheese crackers (just take 1t. grated cheddar, pat it down on a hot, non-stick pan on the stove and let it melt until it's all crispy, you could add dried basil sprinkled on top for more flavor to have with your sandwich). 

 

Hope you feel better soon and get over the die-off/flare so you can enjoy the wedding.

Im on a freeda scd legal calcium vitamin thats all, I havent heard of calcium citrate??,

 

As for dccc i cant get that in ireland but i did by a " Donvier " yogurt chhese maker which strains the yogurt and turns it into a cheese spread so dont know if this substitutes dccc or not? 

 

I have the chicken soup every day for lunch, eggs in the morning, have a yogurt,bananna and honey smoothie each day too and as for meats i differ each day with roast or boiled chicken with purred carrrots, salmon, burger and turkey patties with cheese spread i make topped with chedder cheese and a cooked tomatoe aswell as sandwich bread i use as buns (contains almound flour). I juice my own grapes and apples and dilute with half water, i make ginger tea everyday. I did make cinnamonn cookies once which would of also had almound flour so maybe i should cut that out.

Thanks Mark

Have you tried legal calcium citrate and the dry curd cottage cheese? I would be trying lots of healthy bone broth soups and eating easy to digest foods.Hopefully things will improve by the wedding. But that is a one time in a million occasion which you should enjoy and be part of. I think every one here would agree to doing what you need to do to get through that day... even living on soup for a day or two before!!

So please everyone chime in with suggestions to get through this wedding :)PJ

hey Mark!! think positive -you're going to be at that wedding and feeling much

better than today - 2 weeks can get you improvement BUT you may not like the

strictness - but i feel it will make you a happier camper!!!

ok my thoughts

pull out all vits, illegals and fruit honey cheesesorry but you need to do this

go back to intro (no eggs just soup and meats)for 5 days then )just because it's

not healthy to stay on intro) i think you should remain as close to intro as

possible until after the wedding

i could not tolerate dccc for months maybe years?? and don't even worry much

about yogurt for now - if you can get any meds needed compounded and after day 5

try saccromyces boullardi - maybe even during intro?? helps with D

hey what part of Ireland? mom was from tyrone- dad is from cork
