Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 , I think it is probably the famous three month die off. Diharea is a common die off symptom. You might want to take an epson salts bath, and stick with some easier to handle foods for a few days like a lot of the intro foods and the stuff that you first began eating right after intro. Meleah Two and a half months I have been on SCD for 10 weeks and doing great. I have always tended toward constipation. This morning at 4:30 I woke up and now have D !! I have not eaten anything illegal or different. I was just wondering if the 3 month thing could be a little early? Could die off cause something like this? This is not fun. I started with a little gas and cramping yesterday. I have had virtually no gas anymore since I have been on SCD so was wondering what was going on. All I had for lunch was a hamburger patty and some squash. The only other thing I can think of is maybe I had too much coconut oil? I put a couple teaspoons in my ginger tea and drink it almost every day though. Maybe I put in too big a spoon. Any insight anyone? Man am I going to be tired today! Thanks in advance to anyone who helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi , << teaspoons in my ginger tea and drink it almost every day though. >> Is this commercial ginger tea or are you steeping fresh cut up ginger? Commercial ginger tea wouldn't be legal, but the homemade stuff should be fine. If you are still having diarrhea you could go back to the intro for as day or so to see if it passes. It may be the stomach flu or it may be the 3 month flare. Are you taking any probiotics or yogurt?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi Sheila, Wow, thank you, I did not know ginger tea was illegal. How much cut up ginger do you put in a cup of tea? Commercial peppermint tea is okay though right? I thought I read that somewhere. My D is gone! Yay! I think I figured it out. I took an extra SCD calcium the day before because I had sore muscles. The extra magnesium in there probably is what did it. My muscles are better but that was totally not worth it. I take Kirkman probiotics and make the SCD yogurt. Thank you for your help!!

It is a lot of information when starting out. << How much cut up ginger do you put in a cup of tea?>> Depending on how fresh it is and how strong you like it you could start with a teaspoon in 8 oz and adjust the amount to taste. Ginger is supposed to be natural anti-inflammatory. I add it to my cold fighting tonic to clear sinuses etc.. << Commercial peppermint tea is okay though right? I thought I read that somewhere. >> Yes, that is in BTVC under " Other Beverages " in Chapter 10. Peppermint and spearmint tea are the only legal herb teas. Weak black tea is also okay. << My D is gone! Yay! I think I figured it out. I took an extra SCD calcium the day before because I had sore muscles. The extra magnesium in there probably is what did it. My muscles are better but that was totally not worth it. >> Glad to hear that you figured it out!! << I take Kirkman probiotics and make the SCD yogurt. >> Good, they are the correct probiotics. What yogurt starter do you use? Sheila, SCD Feb. 2001, UC 23 yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
