How to decrease the severity of temporary initial symptoms.

Gradually decrease the amount of starches and sugar at least a week

before starting

Do not use antifungals at the same time as the beginning of SCD

Take a chelation break if you are doing chelation.

Take Epsom salt baths.

Delay the introduction of probiotics.

Try the electrolyte drink

(http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.org/faq/electrolytedrink.html).

It is a big help in the beginning. It doesn't taste great but you can

add a splash of juice to give it a better flavor. It is also helpful

for those who are constipated, another common beginner's complaint.
