Three weeks into to SCD and we pretty much got a miracle. His gi tract was so damaged from gluten and bakers yeast (and a few others) he was unable to digest hardly anything, which led to malnutrition, loss of peristalsis, constipation, no nutrients to his brain, and antibodies to everything he ate. The SCD addresses sooo many issues- digestablity, no gluten and bakers yeast, no atificial anything (which made him hyper), no yeast feeding starches and gobs of sugars (go light on the honey though), and eveything is nutritious, adequate protein for energy and healing. Also starches and grains can affect insulin levels which cause issues as well. We feel very blessed to come across the SCD.Mrs. Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144247274657295271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-88317974643336187062009-08-12T04:45:23.034-07:002009-08-12T04:45:23.034-07:00I'm curious about trying the same with my sist...I'm curious about trying the same with my sister. She eats pretty much wheat, dairy, and starches. <br /><br />It's great to see how much it's helped you and your son.

I've been interviewing with two different companies, but it seems like everybody is dragging their feet in this economy.<br /><br />I understand what you mean about traveling. In the early stages, travel can be difficult. I managed, but each time I lost five pounds. Of course, I had five pounds to lose, so it all worked out. LOL!<br /><br />Susan :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467543096755297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-32818229345196138292009-08-10T20:53:14.449-07:002009-08-10T20:53:14.449-07:00Susan,

I've transitioned to paleo over the summer and have kept a keen eye on what I'm eating and how it's affecting me. Hopefully I'll be at "fanatical adherance" of SCD in a few months. I think I'm afraid of traveling and the availability of foods where I live so I'm trying to get all the kinks out now. <br /><br />Love your blog, BTW! I'm a PM too. I hope things get better for you soon!Angnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-19011438385768030462009-08-10T09:26:27.342-07:002009-08-10T09:26:27.342-07:00Hi Ang,

I was tired and in constant pain.<br /><br />I was basically in a constant flare that entire time.<br /><br />When I first started experimenting with diet, I cut everything down to the bare basics, which happened to eliminate everything containing starches. I was still getting some sugars from some lite canned fruit which is not SCD legal, but at the time I was not on SCD.<br /><br />And I finally pulled out of that flare. That was the first time I had seen improvement in my condition. I was on the highest possible dose of methotrexate along with sulfasalazine and daily steroids, with almost no effect.<br /><br />I had a HUGE improvement with my thinking as well. I was so brain fogged I could barely function before I cut out all the junk food. Then, I got my brain back. LOL.<br /><br />I got SO much better I was off all meds for a year!<br /><br />A lot of people with chronic fatigue have undiagnosed food intolerances or allergies. For me, I had no idea. I had no bowel symptoms at all, but some people have "silent" gut dysfunction. I think that is what happened to me. I was severely gluten intolerant and I had no idea.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467543096755297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468249333232629469.post-85119768587534921872009-08-10T04:04:54.812-07:002009-08-10T04:04:54.812-07:00since i'm suffering from a possible autoimmune...since i'm suffering from a possible autoimmune something or other (they just say it's chronic fatigue), how is SCD helping with your RA? have you noticed a big difference?Angnoreply@blogger.com
