Made myself sick, advice on feeling better please?

[Guest guest]

I bought a package of plain sun dried tomatoes. They were so good, like

big red raisins! By the end of the day I had eaten 20 sun dried tomato

pieces. I was very gassy. Feeling a little better the next day I went

to a party. I ate nothing at the party but when I got home I had an

intense meat craving so I ate a big steak. . I should have cut it in

half or even thirds. I now have gas, the big D and I have abdominal

swelling. My stomach hurts and I couldn't stay after class today and

ask questions because of all the gas. I am sad. I just had a homemade

yogurt and 20 almonds. I am planning a light menu for the rest of the

day. Should I eat salad for lunch or should I stick to cooked

vegetables for the next few days and forget the raw foods? What does a

person do on SCD when they make themselves sick? I usually drink lots

of water, rest and eat light. Any thoughts?

I think you may want to go back to eating everything peeled and deseeded and

cooked again for a little while or even do 1 day of the intro. Red meat can be

hard on the stomach if not chewed properly especially when the gut was already

upset by the tomatoes.

Exactly what you said.....eat light, get some rest, drink lots.

I am very sorry that you are not feeling well but you do realize you have made

several

mistakes tht would cause it. Sun dried tomatos like dried fruit (tomatoes

actually are a

fruit) are highly concentrated and should be soaked and in any case sound like

an

advanced food. Whole nuts are also only for those who are well along on SCD.

You didn't say how long you have been on the diet and if you followed the

" intro " for a a

few days.

SCD is intended to be balanced and moderate so my suggestion is to read the book

and

websites carefully and go back to the intro diet, next adding easy ti digest

foods gradually

and in small amounts.

Activated charcoal may relieve yiur distress.

Get well soon!

I am gluten and lactose intolerant with IBS. I did the intro. for two

days in the beginning. I am definetely off the crazy tomatoes. I

learned a lot from you. No more whole nuts even if they are a easy to

pack snack.

Get well soon!
