Re: Intro soup cuases me bloating

[Guest guest]

Sounds like " die off " to me. Die off is when the bad bacteria in your system is

dying due to the fact that they aren't getting what they need to proliferate. As

they are dying, they trigger weird responses in your body. Flu like symptoms are

really common during this phase. Us people with IBS/IBD/Gut Issues usually have

a very unbalanced amount of good versus bad bacteria in our systems. For me, I

had mild flu like symptoms and terrible cravings for illegal carbs. I actually

dreamed I was cooking, eating and smelling these illegals. The dreams were so

vivid and real, I would get up and check the kitchen to make sure I didn't

prepare it in my sleep. I could smell the brownies baking in the oven in my

sleep. It was very hard to deal with.

For die off you can try taking epsom salt baths (dissolve one cup of epsom salt

in a hot bath and sit in it as long as you can) and take activated charcoal. If

this much epsom salt makes you react immediately, try less. Only stay in the

bath as long as it's comfortable to you. This is the way I take the charcoal: I

boil some water. Add the contents of 1 capsule of charcoal to a 1 pint mason

jar. Add the boiling water to the mason jar and let the charcoal settle to the

bottom. When you can tolerate it, drink it. I drink the entire contents. You can

do this two times per capsule. You can make more if desired using 2 cups boiled

water per 1 capsule of activated charcoal. Epsom salt and charcoal both help

your body detox. Epsom salt pulls it out your pores and the charcoal removes it

from your system internally. The reason you don't want to take the charcoal

capsules is because the charcoal can be irritating to an already inflamed gut.

Hope this helps!!! Hang in there; it does get better!!!

If you have issues with the soup, go with the meat and peeled, cooked

veggies! That's what I did! I started after emergency gall bladder

surgery, and was in NO shape to make soup. My husband can burn

water. I was able to tell him how to roast a roast, and he could peel and

slice zucchini. That got me through!

I've had the same issue... seemed it all made me bloat! Long, long story short-

It seems that any food with a high fluid content causes this in me, including

the yogurt. Does this mean I am not tolerating the yogurt?

[Guest guest]

It

turned out that most of the foods on the list recommended for the intro. diet

cause reactions from my digestive or immune system, so I substituted other

foods that are better for me. The purpose of the intro. diet, as I

understand it anyway, is to eat soft, easy-to-digest foods. Clear liquids

are the easiest of all foods to consume when you are in pain and digestive

distress, but when you start to eat solid foods, like the intro. diet, you

choose soft and easy foods. My body requires a different set of foods

that are easiest for it to deal with. I still choose SCD-permitted foods,

of course, but select those that are easiest to digest.

I

don’t have broth or soup on my intro. diet. I did at first, but I’d

been on a clear liquid diet for 6 to 8 months before I started SCD and my body

stopped tolerating soups and broths, built up a sensitivity. So the soups and

broth made me a whole lot worse. So when I’m on the intro. diet

because of digestive distress I eat things like scrambled eggs, baked

white-meat chicken, applesauce, apple juice (homemade), Italian green beans if

my symptoms aren’t too bad (my digestion does very well with this type of

veggie).

After

3 years of no soup or broth I can now tolerate one serving per week, but I

still get a bit of a reaction. Bloating is normal for me since I have

functional digestive disorders in my upper GI, so I am more concerned by the

nausea and right upper quadrant pain that soups can trigger – not to

mention breaking out in hives… So once a week is my limit for

soups, and I usually go two weeks between servings.

So,

in my opinion, eat those foods that are easiest for your body. Substitute

other SCD-permitted foods that are soft, easy to digest and don’t trigger

worse digestive symptoms or immune responses.

Maybe you're just not used to consuming lots of liquids or fluids...it could be just filling up your stomach and thats why you're bloated. You could always just limit to one bowl a day or make the soup with less liquid and see how it goes. I don't know about the yogurt, but if you're consuming a lot of that as well, you should probably cut down on that. Any bit of yogurt is beneficial. It could be die-off, I get lots of bloating with die-off, but that's one of my main symptoms anyway, so it took me a long time to realize this Since you're in the beginning stages, and this sounds like a new symptom for you, it's very likely the bloating is part of the die off. I'd say do and eat whatever makes you feel more comfortable, that's what I've learned. No need

to put your body through any unnecessary stress! EllenTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, August 21, 2010 3:57:43 AMSubject: Re: Intro soup cuases me bloating

What I would do is drip, or drain the yogurt very well and try

that.

Sounds like the liquids are diluting your digestive enzymes. Try supplementing

with something like DigestGold.
