Re: Constipation no more thanks to nutrtitionist

[Guest guest]

I know everyone is different but if you'd like the info to this nutritionist, just let me know. , she sounds amazing! I'm so happy you finally got results! You're right, the standard progression of SCD isn't for everyone, and your nutritionist sounds like she knows how to tweak the diet for different people. I'd love her info! Maybe I could call her or something. Cheers!Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Prednisone 10 mg 1x per day (trying to wean!!!!)

Alyssa, I should have just put her info in my email. Her info is www.karenhurd.com. My last name is Veillette. Tell her I told you about her. Just make sure to tell her you're doing scd and won't eat grains. She was ok with that. She really believes the essential fatty acids from the nuts help lube the intestines and the beans bind with the waste. Of course I came at her from the constipated side of life. She'll have you fill out a questionnaire ahead of time. Let me know if you ever talk with her. Be well!!!UC-C 12/09SCD 1/10Daily, CLO, Magnesium, bromelain, acidophilus Mom of 2 crazy monkeys :-)

Hi ,

We don’t have to peel? I do that for apple and pear. Although I really don’t make puree coz I thought those are for people with diarrhea.

I also agree with , the “White Diet” is just the opposite of SCD. I got confused. I checked the recipes and some if not almost contains illegal items.

I think that the SCDiet is well balanced and since no stages are mentioned in the BTVC book, it might be ok to proceed (considering all the reminders of Elaine) with other food items as long as we do it with precaution.

Kim thanks for saying that. We are all different. UC-C 12/09SCD 1/10Daily, CLO, Magnesium, bromelain, acidophilus Mom of 2 crazy monkeys :-)

Remember

that not everyone will tolerate fiber or beans or nuts, or any one of the

permitted foods on SCD. Constipation due to poor peristalsis

(neuromuscular or hormone causes) may not respond well to even the smallest

amount of correctly-prepared legumes.

So,

each of us needs to find what works for us. That means

experimenting. Which means we have to try things but we need to proceed

with caution.

What

is working for ’s constipation issue would have me in the

hospital within a week. I’d be suffering from severe abdominal and back pain

and severe nausea within 24 hours, and a complete shutdown of my digestion within

a few days [grin]. It’s happened before, so I speak from

personal experience….
