drinks possibly tolerated, was Re: first couple of days on the SCD

[Guest guest]

When I was a child and occasionally ill with the flu or nausea, our old-school

pediatrician had a four-day diet for reintroducing foods, very similar to SCD

but with some disaccharide sugar. I do recall that the first thing one was to

take by mouth was small sips, as tolerated, of water and carbonated drinks, then

weak teas and broth. Since you don't tolerate plain water, perhaps carbonation

would be tolerated?Although the gingerale and Seven-Up we used (in the

pre-corn-syrup Dark Ages when I was a child) were off-diet, there are legal

carbonated waters and club sodas that could be used plain or to make your own

carbonated drink. Or there are some carbonated fruit drinks and honey-sweetened

ginger drinks available commercially if you confirmed to your own satisfaction

that these contained no illegal ingredients. Or you could always make your own,

the pecanbread way (sigh.)

You are not alone with the " plain water " issues. I often feel

very gurgly and gassy if I drink water (even if room temperature

and sipped). Not sure what this is, but I still try to include

liquids in my diet too.
