Re: Question on Gas and Die-off

Sharp cheddar isn't illegal, it's occasional.

Those Bad Bugs...they love to disco, they love to party. And my fear is this gas, which I had really bad before SCD but that went away completely on SCD, signals some sort of set back. I had started taking Theramedix SPS-30, Body Bio Mineral (on Kim M's recommendation), Klaire Labs Sac B (which is SCD-legal), Cell Power, and (here is possibly the problem) milk thistle extract. The gas continued for a week after stopping everything, but I noticed that today was much better, so perhaps the worst of it has passed. I has also re-started very small amounts of cheese, which I haven't eaten in six months, only to notice that I was eating sharp cheddar, which is illegal. So perhaps another contributor to my gas. Maybe I'll go back to intro for a few days...and review everything I am eating.

Jodi, it's very interesting on the gamma. I've taken two shots now, and both times I had immediate naseau and burning in my stomach. And I felt very bad for a few days after both shots, although less bad after the second. I take this to mean that my immune system responded enough to the gamma to not only attack my viruses, but also the Baddies in my stomach.

As always, thanks for the advice. Ellen > Gas frequently indicates those wretched Bad > Buggies are kicking up their heels and having a party.> > What supplements did you add? And did you check

Boggle. You didn't start all those supplements at the same time, did

you?

Talk about a way to turn your guts inside out!

Sharp cheddar isn't illegal. Page 180. Cheddar, mild, medium,

(sharp cheddar - occasionally)

I strongly recommend a food diary. That will allow you to link

different foods and supplements to your body's reactions, and figure out

your group of tolerated foods. As noted, some people don't tolerate large

amounts of fats. Some people don't tolerate large amounts of fruits or

vegetables. Some people don't tolerate large amounts of certain kinds of

protein. It's all a balancing act.

And yeah, the Bad Bugs like to party... and they charge it to our debit

cards!

Because of the rather dramatic beginnings to my IBS etc. Over Memorial Day 1982 I had a nasty flu, or thought I did. Something went totally nuts with my system and I've never been healthy since and had only gone downhill until I found SCD last July. I immediately lost all animal products, whether meat, milk, cheese,eggs, fish, you name it. And gluten. And nuts. I was OK for awhile (or so I thought) with legumes so I had red beans and rice, black-eyed peas and cornbread, etc. Then corn went out. Then nightshade. Then legumes, and after that I had 20 years with absolutely no protein and you can imagine how much fun that was, especially trying to manage hypoglycemia, too. Just to make the whole period more fun, we had the last illnesses and deaths of all our parents, we moved, I had surgery a few times....Anyhow, after having to avoid most foods all this time (and not knowing rice was a bad

guy) I was thrilled to find SCD. But to be honest, I never really expected to get eggs and cheese back so it feels like a sort of double bonus to get them back.

....Oh well, I love all cheddars! In fact, just getting > cheese back after 28 years I love them all! >

, why did you not eat them for 28 years?

[Guest guest]

No no no. I sure didn't explain that one well. I suddenly had to

drop all protein except legumes with the sudden onset of IBS 28 years

ago. After I lost legumes I had the 20 years with no protein at all

(except the tiny bit in veggies). Eventually I was able to work

from a teensy tiny baby bite of chicken back up to 1/2 ounce or so per

serving, when I found SCD. I still don't like huge servings of

protein but I can, and do, eat quite a bit more now, up to several

ounces. After SCD I gradually increased my chicken rations, and just a

month ago was able to add the eggs and cheese, and some beef though I

have never been very fond of red meat of any kind. I tried some pork

roast a week or so ago and while it didn't annoy my gut, it sure didn't

taste good to me.

You dropped all meats AFTER finding SCD?

Thanks for clearing that up, . Is this applegate farm turkey legal? It has no illegal additives. Does anyone use it?

I read on a few sites that gas can be a sign of die-off. The last week, I

significantly dropped my carbs, and at the same time, am having a lot more gas.

Since I'm giving the bad guys less to work with, it's just about got to be

die-off.

> Can gas be associated with die-off? I recently passed the one-year mark on

SCD (and god, do I love this diet!!) and decided to add some supplements and new

foods (nothing too advanced). I tried to stagger everything, and seemed to be

tolerating things, but I ended up with increasingly bad gas, and then passed

some mucous. I pretty much quit everything, but am still having the gas, along

with some urgency issues, although my bms are trophys. I have increased my

garlic and ginger intake, however, and I've started gamma globulin shots for my

autoimmunity issues. I've actually been feeling a little better, so I'm

wondering if perhaps the gas is a positive, signalling die-off. Or perhaps just

a shift in the bacteria/yeast populations.
