Another Newbie Question - how do I know how long to stay at each stage?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I started the intro diet yesterday, today is definately a better day

emotionally! And just re-read a lot and I can eat pureed carrots - yum, someone

mentioned seasonings - what kind are safe/legal at this stage? I love spicy

mexican foods - so this is pretty bland for me! lol.

How do I know how long to stay on the intro diet - I thought 4 days was the

most? What about each of the other stages? I am rather impatient - been trying

so many " plans " over the past 7yrs!

Thanks again! All your support has kept my spirits and my hopes alive!

2-5 days is usual for the intro. For the rest of the stages, that depends

on you and your body.

Impatient? I wouldn't know anything about that. I tried just about

everything in the 25 years before I found SCD. I also say that if it's

possible to have made a mistake in implementing the diet in the first

year, I probably made it.

I can tell you: SCD works!

But... yah gotta be patient. We'll help -- that's what we're here

for!
