I had a lot of hunger preSCD and when I began, but when I reached a good weight for my height my appetite return to a normal level.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Sheila, I have been on it for about a month. I have lost about 4-5 pounds. I am almost 5'9 and weigh only 127. I wound like to weigh at least 10 pounds more. All my clothes are loose. I can't have the peas or lentils yet, way too much gas. Thanks for responding.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 The body can respond to the seven tastes and they are stimulating to the appetite. I am not sure if it is legal and look forward to the experts view but I would be thinking of a squeeze of lemon- or just one slice in water- to give the 'sour' taste, and finely minced herbs such as parsley or coriander on vegetables for the 'uomi' or savoury taste a good olive oil gives a rather nice 'oil' flavour (early harvest is more acidic than late harvest which is usually mild) The greek method of adding some lemon juice with olive oil to veg adds both nutrients and a new dimension to the taste experience. regards (nutritionist on learning curve) (soon to be a fledgling SCD trialler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the two (The meds and c. diff.) it isn't suprising you have decreased appetite. Some have found Saccharomyces boulardii to be helpful for C. diff infections also.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Thanks Sheila and Carol and everyone who responded to my post. I am eating 1/2 an avocado per day and nut butter as well.
