GAPS or SCD?

[Guest guest]

I'm an adult with chronic lyme. I developed digestive problems 15 months ago.

I haven't eaten greens of any kind in two months; even chopped parsely or

blended spinach in green smoothies passes through my digestive tract undigested.

My symptoms are varied and change from day to day: occasional bloating; food

sometimes sits very heavy in my stomach for far too long; gurgling after eating;

undigested food in stools; food aversions; I am almost always aware of my body

having to work unnaturally to digest food. I feel food works against me vs. to

nourish me.

I've mainly been eating well cooked soups made with meat broth - that's been my

main stay for two months.

I just ordered BTVC but I wonder how compatible this diet will be for me with

fruit juice, cooked eggs, fish/chicken as part of the introductory diet. The

GAPS diet starts with meat broth, egg yolk, well cooked vegetables.

I would appreciate hearing how others have modified the SCD diet intially until

their bodies were able to digest food. Also, any thoughts regarding GAPS or

SCD? (I imagine it all comes down to listening to my body).

Thank you.
