Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yes, first Marilyn has posted some great instructions under " files " on getting started on SCD. Pecanbread.com has suggested " stages " for advancing with SCD. This is just a guide though. We are all different. For example, I can't do carrots even though they are early stage. Keep a food diary and try a new food once or twice a week to see if you tolerate it. Pecanbread is a site for kids with ASD and they avoid dairy- we can have legal SCD dairy products- SCD yogurt, legal cheese. Also do not eat illegals. Ever. The gut ecology changes with SCD and eating illegals stops the process. A small bite of illegal to you is a bacteria feast in the gut. Expect circular progress. That episode of D after the intro diet may have been die off or an early 3 month flare which can happen, . Also, the initial weight loss after starting SCD is often temporary and there are a few of us here ( me too ) that now have to watch calories/carbs on SCD to keep from gaining weight. SCD is a long term process. I hope you are encouraged that you did get results. I would encourage you to hang in there. It takes a while to get the hang of this, and we have all made mistakes in the beginning. PJ > > New to SCD, trying for a third time and need help. > > Diagnosed Crohn's 9/09 tried different meds and the SCD diet twice. First time I jumped right in without preparing and found myself starving and lost about 5 pounds. The last time I made a slow transition taking out wheat and gluten first, then sugar, followed by potatoes, then corn and finally rice. Went 57 days without D or cramping after cutting out wheat and gluten, so decided to go all in 10 days ago. I did the intro diet for 2 days, no D or cramping so should have been sufficient, and then started adding food back in. I started with things that were not bothering me prior to clean out and then Sunday I started feeling sick and got D, same on Monday. Went back to eating rice and corn yesterday and feeling better. > > Anyways, I believe the SCD diet will work but I think I am doing something wrong. Plan to restock and do intro again. Only once the intro is done I don't know what to eat. > > Can anyone please help? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
