Re: I accidentally ingested an illegal- can I do anything?

> Last weekend we took my sister and her boyfriend out to dinner for his

birthday. It was a create your own stir fry, and I had in my head that bean

sprouts were legal. It's not anything I usually buy, but my sis put some on

hers, and I thought- Oh yeah, these are good- and I added some to mine.

> Well, half way through eating it, I checked the SCD website on my phone and

almost started crying when I saw that bean sprouts were illegal. Obviously

I didn't eat the rest of it, but I probably had maybe a quarter cup.

> Is there anything I can do, and what does this mean? I'm currently in a flare,

but starting to come out of it or at least get better. I did notice after that

meal I had a lot of gas and some urgency, but now I'm feeling like I'm on my way

to getting better again.

from really wreaking havoc?

No, you cant do anything when you make a mistake - just live with the

consequences.

Take some charcoal to help deal with the gas and a digestive enzyme - if you

have any -would probably

help as well in making digestion proceed more quickly.

But as long as you are on the upswing even after that, doesn't seem like the

harm was too bad - just a

bump in the road in getting past your flare.
