Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I am on SCD since I have developed food sensitivities that are pretty severe, almost anaphylactic type reactions. I also keep getting intestinal infections. I am battling my 5th one now, I'm tired of being sick.

Rotation, which you're already implementing, is an excellent idea. However, one thing many people have discovered is that as the gut heals, the allergies may begin to clear up, and foods which were once triggers may not be. (The exception to this may be foods to which one has had an anaphylactic reaction -- it is really NOT recommended that one try foods again to which one has had such a reaction.) One thing to determine when considering a nut allergy, is, first of all, is it a true nut issue? Are peanuts a problem? Is coconut a problem? If it's one, and not the other, then substitutions may be made. Provided eggs are not also an issue, the souffle bread, which is incredibly versatile, can be made with DCCC or yogurt, with cooked vegetables, or with small amounts of nut butter or nut flour (if there is one to which the person does not react). — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and welcome - I can't help you with the food rotation, but for the candidiasis, I would put her on some s. boulardii as soon as you can - that's a non colonizing probiotic yeast that eats other yeast for snacks - morning, noon and night. For a lot of people, it has been really helpful getting yeast under control, although there is no one size fits all on this diet and everything has to be individually tested for compatibility and to see if it works. But if so, she needs to start with 1 away from food and then build slowly from there. Good luck getting everything sorted, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
