To Lorretta: starting SCD

[Guest guest]

The SCD yogurt was the first thing I made and I ate it from the beginning. I was

always a big yogurt lover and tolerated it well.

You can vary the meats early on- chicken, fish, beef, pork, lamb.. to get

variety. At first I was only eating cooked apples and pears and very few veggies

for fruits and veggies and tried a new one every so often. I always cooked them

and pureed them. It took almost a year to try some raw. I tolerated the nut

butters early on as well. I started with Almondie- very expensive but made with

blanched almonds and easily tolerated. I then learned to make pecan butter in

the food processor. My favorite treat was dripped yogurt, topped with banana

(raw and ripe is OK) and pecan butter- add cinnamon and a little honey. Then I

started to put on weight... so I limit this treat and honey and watch my carbs.

After a few months I could do the nut flours but in small amounts. They are

wonderful but also caloric. I eat these rarely and if my teen daughter gets into

them, they go quickly.

Just progress slow and steady.

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.

wrong. Plan to restock and do intro again. Only once the intro is done I don't

know what to eat.
