Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 It is highly recommend for everyone to start with two days of the Intro Diet, even if they have no diarrhea. Follow that with easy-to-digest foods.... meaning all fruits and veggies peeled and cooked, etc. Details on all of this are on the website, www.pecanbread.com so I won't take up space here. Patti no diarrhea I asked a question earlier about Stevia. My other question is: My son and I don't have diarrhea. Is there a benefit to starting at the very beginning of the diet? All the statements in the book about moving on mention doing it when diarrhea has stopped. He stays constipated. My " gut " feeling is that I need to start somewhere else.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yes, it is still important to start with the intro diet, and then move slowly forward...starting with pealed, seeded, and cooked fruits and veggies. The purpose of the intro diet is to clear out as much of the bad yeast and bacterial growth as possible. If there is no diharea, then two days of intro diet are sufficient. If diharea begins when you implement the intro, you still need to move forward after five days of intro diet. There is a " stages " chart on pecanbread.comthat you can use simply as a guideline of which foods are usually tolerated most easily. Introducing more difficult to digest foods such as raw fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds, ect. will be difficult on the tender, new tissue in the gut lining as well as serve as food for any of the harmful microbes that were a bit stronger, and survived the intro diet. Those heartier microbes are why people sometimes experience new die off a month, two months, three months, six months...into SCD. Some of them can really hold on in wait for their survival foods.
