Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 The only thing VitaLady doesn't ship in the winter is sugar free-syrups, because they come in glass bottles and get too cold if they break. I don't mean to harp on the protein, but when I take mine regularly I really can't eat as much food. It feels like my stomach is fuller. I personally think it's weird. There are a lot of stores now that carry sugar-free candy and cookies. There are various sites on the internet that sell sugar-free and low carb stuff. I don't know what they are, but I'm sure someone will pipe up with links soon. By the way, I should confess, I am on one huge, big, mean carb monster trip, and I am trying to follow my own advice, but it ain't easy. Well, here I go, putting the chips and dip away and off to the kitchen for a shake!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Aali, I don't know how far out you are from your surgery, but a bowl of oatmeal wouldn't surprise me at 5 years. Oatmeal is " slider " food. Like mashed potatoes or something. A seven inch sandwich would take some doing and I'd feel very uncomfortable. The concern I would have is that this all seems pretty carb-centric. I really feel like Atkins-type high protein diet works the best with us, and my doctor instructed me to try to eat that way. Theoretically, we should be able to eat anything we want, but it just doesn't work that way. As far as the carb monster goes, if I have ONE bite of sugar in a day, the day is a write-off. I am as unable to not have more as a drug addict. The only time I can really make the no-sugar choice is the first thing in the morning when I wake up, or it's all over. in Austin RNY April 1998 315/190s eating too much! Hi... I have a question that I should already know the answer to but I think I need some reassurance. I feel like I can eat quite a bit. This morning I was able to eat a bowl of oatmeal (1 regular serving like it says on the quaker dry oats cannister). And then this evening I was able to eat a 7 inch sandwich (though I thoroughly stuffed afterward). I feel like I can't tell when I'm overstuffing myself. I feel so out of control and I'm sure it's because of the stuff going on in my life right now that I'm probably doing this. I just want to stop it! Where can I go on the net to order low carb and sugar free stuff? I know of vitalady but I was told she doesn't ship in the winter (I'm in TX so that doesn't matter down here - but maybe it matters up there?) HELP! Trying tro find a solution!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Aali, There are some days that I can eat a whole lot and other days I can't. I am not sure this is a bad thing every now and then. You might want to consider EAS AdvantEdge or something from the GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Aali, depending on how far out you are, a bowl of oatmeal is not alot. Have you noticed a significant increase from what you could eat before? and how long is it taking you to eat that 7 in sandwich? If its a stuffed sandwich and taking you 15 minutes, that is alot and I would imagine you would be overly full. If its taking you 45 minutes to an hour, well, any one of us could do that...What you may want to do is eat slower and concentrate on less carby foods. You don't need to spend all that money to buy low carb stuff on line. Most of it tastes like crap anyways. Just concentrate on more protein based foods and lower or eliminate carbs from your diet. If you still want to look at the low carb stuff, do a search on the web for " low-carb " or even " atkins " . Plenty of it out there...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I am anxious to see the responses to this, my son only weighs 24 pounds and he is not terribly far off food-wise. We had one day where it slowed down to a normal amount and it does seem to slowly be getting there, but he is still constantly wanting food. He has definitely acted like he just does not feel well. We went to the park and he walked around the playground twice. Sat in my lap for a swing, then went to the car and crawled in his carseat and just sat there for a good 10 minutes while I talked his sister into leaving.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 It sounds like he is finding some foods that don't hurt and digest well! I am sure he is going to slow down. Even though my daughter and myself did this as well, we both slowed down and I think the extra calories did us well during the die-off and yeast invasion that came a few days later! I wish I had known to start the acidopholus sooner! I read later that it helps prevent the yeast problem. So make sure you make some yogurt and buy some legal acidopholus! I am new at this but in my opinion it will slow down! Lots of luck, SCD 3.5 weeks-a multitude of improvements already! And more daily! eating too much! Thanks for all the recent suggestions regarding veggies for my son. I did all of my shopping but I decided to wait until this weekend to start the intro diet so that my son doesn't drive his therapists crazy wanting more food. Meanwhile, since I have the fridge stocked full of scd food, that is what he is eating today -- just not well planned out or highly controlled. He has not had anything illegal or two terribly advanced & we have been progressively eliminating polysacharrides for a few weeks now. This morning he refused the initial choice, so he ate a banana while I prepared something else -- 8 large well cooked/peeled tomatoes instead. He ate them all. We had to leave for an appointment, so that was breakfast! We came home and he ate a pound of cooked green beans along-side of a side of steamed spinach and a 1/3 pound piece of chicken. He wasn't full and wanted me to cook a full chicken (4.75 pounds including the bones) and some fruit. That took an hour and I was thinking he would eat some and then I could cut up the rest and put it in the fridge -- he ate the entire chicken and a pound and a half of cooked fruit. Now he is bringing me another 1 pound bag of green beans from the freezer as he wants those too. We still have one more meal to go before the day is done, and he does not show signs of slowing down. My first question is... does anyone want him, we can't afford him anymore?! Next, am I supposed to be placing limits on his legal foods? Finally, when is this going to end & can I do anything to make it end sooner? He only weights 38 lbs, so he doesn't need to be eating this much! - --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 > > If a person overeats on legal foods - -does that end up feeding bugs simply by the fact that there is always food moving along? > > - > Overeating is never a good idea in my books as it had me weighing 219 some time ago. Eating a bit more than expected at first is usual sometimes because the person was nutritionally deprived due to malabsorption before. Eating well and legally on SCD is fine, b/c the bugs aren't getting any of their favotite foods. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I can't remember reading any restrictions on any amounts of food. In the beginning of the diet, you may have some difficult days do to yeast die-off, casein withdrawl, etc. Don't let it worry you. This diet is not a quick fix. Make a commitment to stay with it for a while (a year is a nice first goal). I found that keeping a food diary helps me. I have learned that while my family can enjoy a wide variety of foods, having the same thing too often can cause us trouble and that right now, I have a problem with almonds and cashews. When I first started SCD, I couldn't tollerate zukinii, but I ate TONS of aged cheese. : D Now I can eat zukinii without a problem, and cheese isn't such a big deal. I hope that helps. : D Kathy --- Rob or Sunseri wrote: > Thanks for all the recent suggestions regarding > veggies for my son.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yeah! This is sooooo my son. He has been on the diet since November and he still eats like this. He is older, 11, so he is bigger: but I swear all I do is cook! He is never full. My husband says our son never puts the fork down, we just keep sliding food under it! To top it off he has gone from 112 lbs (a little pudgy) to 108 lbs and a couple inches taller (not at all pudgy - very lean!) I think he uses up more calories eating the food than he gets from the food! I am so very glad to know that we aren't the only ones out there! Everyone asks if the whole family is on the diet, but there is no way we could afford it! I have nightmares about him at 16 years old! AAhhhh!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 > > Okay, so please tell me how GREAT he is doing on the diet to make up for the fact that all you do is cook! > > - , SCD is a wonderful diet but there is no doubt that it is not geared to convenience food from stores. It would be wonderful if someone had a reliable store or website to supply more ready made foods. However understand the difficulty. I just checked a line of jams at Digestive Wellness.com said to be SCD legal and discovered they may contain a type of star thistle honey which is unfiltered and illegal. This is typical of why we are so wary of store bought food. We can appreciate your frustration . Even though I have really come to love the home cooking I need to do for SCD others may not. Cooking can be fast. Example, the other night I made a beef stir fry in less than ten minutes and it was just great. ( OK, maybe a child has texture issues and would not like my beef stir fry but there are other quick and easy things) We all need a certain mind set to stick to the diet and that is understanding that there is work involved and strict compliance required. You had a lot of questions and concerns while you waited for your book. Am I right in feeling you are still not completely " settled " and comfortable with the commitment it takes to do this? We are all here to give you whatever help we can and I believe once you develop a system for some bulk cooking and freezing, baking and storing and if using yogurt making it in large batches it will not be as challenging. believe me, , everyone is on your side and most have gone through feeling fairly frustrated at the start. But just ask our list how many found it really was worth the struggle. Carol F. SCD 7 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Okay - just so you know, I hate, hate, hate to cook. I managed the GFCF and egg free diet for about 5 years using basically a microwave. No such luck with the SCD. BUT - we have seen some great improvements since starting this diet in November. Mostly sleep and behavior related. Sleeps great, behaviors mellowed out or gone (He used to eat toilet paper!) His behaviors were soooooo bad that I started the diet the day before Thanksgiving. Who does that!? Only someone very, very, very desperate! We spent Thanksgiving on the intro diet. Wheeee! But there are a few kids in the autism community that had been on the diet longer and I saw such huge improvements in them I had to try it. They too had been GFCF etc. before. Behaviors went down, eye contact and ability to focus went up, sleep improved, speech improved, toilet issues improved. Right before my eyes! The biggest issue for me was a little boy who I swear was the poster boy for yeast, who is now completely off his antifungal prescription meds. COMPLETELY! I hated giving those drugs to my son. The inserts always stated " can cause fatal liver damage " . Great. So I put my son on the diet and took him off of the meds. He only takes some basic supplements that are SCD legal like vitamin C, a probiotic, a multi vitamin, milk thistle, etc. AND he is doing so much better than he was on all those meds. So, is all of the cooking worth it? Yes. I tell people that this is the diet from hell, but it works, so we do it. Hope that helps a little? Also, we barbeque all of our meat in great quantities every other day, rain, snow or shine. We have tubs of hamburger patties, chicken breasts, turkey breasts, and steaks. Just add veggies and you are good! It is the homemade applesauce, pearsauce, and squash that take up so much time.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 <<I tell people that this is the diet from hell, but it works, so we do it.>> Oh, no...... no, no, no..... SCD is not THE diet from hell. I have had my kid on THE diet from hell. That one is the Ketogenic Diet (for seizure control). For 27 months, every morsel of food she ate had to be planned out on a computer program.... then each meal weighed on a gram scale to the PRECISE requirements of the meal plan. Then I had to somehow get ALL of the food into her.... every single bite! We couldn't risk any spills... so she didn't learn to self feed at ALL until she was almost seven (and off Keto). I made every single meal for her separately from the rest of the family (I had three other kids at home at the time).... and I made each and every one of those meals myself (her dad is a great guy.... but unfortunately, I got really good at making meals). I thought I was going to go completely insane. Maybe I did?? LOL Anyway, we went directly from Keto to SCD and I felt like I was on in heaven, definitely not hell! It's all a matter of perspective, I guess. I'm so glad you've seen so much progress, Lori! It does make it worth it, doesn't it?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yes, now I understand why my cousin has not been willing to take the plunge with her daughter (Keto diet has been recommended for her intractible seizures). She probably wouldn't do SCD either, but I could be wrong. I take it SCD has controlled your child's seizures? Did the Keto also work? - lori choruby wrote: Wow Patti - And you can still form a coherent thought? I AM impressed. That diet does sound worse - my hats off to you!
