Hi ,

I've had some C off and on, which is strange for me too. I think it is because

SCD changes our gut ecology and this is just part of the process.

Personally, I would not take Flagyl.It made me sick as a dog. If the point of

Flagyl is to kill off bad bugs, why not just be on SCD?

If I don't get enough fruits and veggies I tend towards C too. But I am

wondering if you have enough good bugs in there? Are you using the SCD yogurt or

a legal probiotic? I also do better when I take fish oil supplements and vitamin

D.

went back to intro. Well, it never turned into a full flare, but the mucous and

gas are the same and now I've added bloating and constipation. My gastro wants

me to take some flagyl in the thought that it's a bacteria. I'm afraid of

messing up the balance I have.

I'm not sure this is the case for either of us, however, for the past 2 years each May I've experienced flare-like symptoms. Last May it was blood/D, and this May/June it's been mucus/gas. I've had numerous sources tell me that the change of seasons, in particular, Spring and Fall are often difficult for those w/ autoimmune dis-eases. I've also returned to the intro and tried to take it easy. In a recent stool test, I found my good and bad bacteria are out of balance, and I suspect this is contributing so I'm about to start working on that.

Hang in there!!!

I have problems with C when I'm eating dairy and not drinking enough water. I

don't know what your diet is though so I'm not sure whether or not that helps.
