SCD - Specific Carbohydrate Diet

Post by Philthy McNasty » 07 Jul 2011, 22:56

Vidim da se u jednom od postova alternativnog lecenja Kronove bolesit pominje Helminthic terapija, zvuci interesantno , medjutim ja bih se osvrnuo na drugu opciju .
Kron mi je dijagnostifikovan u maju 2007. Godine , mada sam imao simptome jos od februara 2005. Na srecu, bolest je u nekoj pocetnoj fazi i sve vreme sam bio na Salofalku 3000mg dnevno. Simptomi su varirali vremenom, bilo je perioda kada nisam skoro imao ikakvih problema.

Od 1. Juna sam poceo jednu veoma interesantu terapiju (na svoju ruku, konvencionalna medicina nema lek za Kronvou bolest, njihov problem), tzv SCD iliti Specific Carbohydrate Diet koja je vec u prvoj nedelji dala fantasticne rezultate. Tema je dosta siroka pa bih za pocetak postavio par linkova koji u detalje objasnjavaju celu procedure.

http://www.crohnsboy.com/
http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/
http://www.pecanbread.com/

Prvi link takodje daje preporuke za literature koju bih svakako toplo preporucio a izdvojio bih knjigu “ Listen to your Gut” (http://www.listen2yourgut.com)

Sa druge strane, napomoenuo bih da se ova dijeta ne uzima zdravo za gotovo i da u nekim segmentima ima manjih gresaka sto se tice namirnica koje gospodja Elaine pominje u svojoj knjizi/sajtu Breaking the Vicious Cycle. Ona je ovu dijetu sprovela jos `90-tih i do sada je cela stvar pretrpela izvesne promene. Uz ovu dijetu, veoma bitna stvar je i da se uzimaju KVALITETNI probiotici i razni drugi dodaci za sto brzi oporavak i zalecenje ostecenog tkiva. Vise o probioticima mozete naci u knjizi “ Listen to your Gut” a za pocetak treba procitati neke informacije na sajtu http://www.natren.com , ovo su najkvalitetniji probiotoci na trzistu, licno ih koristim vec izvesno vreme i mogu to potvrditi. NE KUPUJTE jeftine probiotike jer je to cisto bacanje para.

Takodje bih napomenuo da je mi je bavljenje Yogom (tokom zime 2008/09) neverovatno pomoglo jos u vreme dok sam bio na lekovima i u jednom momentu potpuno prestao da koristim pomenuti Salofalk i nisam ima skoro nikakve bolove u tom periodu, cim sam prekinuo Yogu bolovi su se vratili. Danas uz ovu dijetu 2-3 puta nedeljno praktiujem Yogu i vezbe disanja , razultati su vise od ocekivanih.

Za sve one koje interesuje knjiga Breaking the Vicious Cycle, javite se na PP pa cu vam je poslati u PDF formatu. Takodje preporucujem da se nabavi gore pometuna literatura sa prvog linka, uradi detaljna pretraga na internetu, ulozi izvesna kolicina novca u kvalitetne proizvode i mora se doci do pozitivnih rezultata

Ja sam vec nepunih 40 dana na pomenutoj dijeti uz kombinovao konzumiranje Natren probiotika i bolovi su 95% otklonjeni, traba biti uporan i strpljiv i nakon izvesnog vremena, zavisi od slucaja, moze se doci do potpunog zalecenja.
Ovi probiotici nisu jeftini pogotovu ako se na cenu kostanja doda i skupa postarina jer isti moraju biti uskladisteni sve vreme na hladnoj temperature. Ja zivim u Kanadi i ne znam kakva je situacija sa nabavkom istin U Evropi, u svakom slucaju preporucujem da se ulozi novac u Natren proizvode.

Za vise detalja, javite se sa pitanjima, pomocicu koliko mogu.

I za kraj ovog javljanja, Kronova bolest je izleciva! Konvencionalna medicina je, ne samo u ovom slucaju, debelo pala na ispitu.

Jedan interesantan clanak u vezi probiotika, deo iz knjige “Probiotics” Leon Chaitow (ko-autor Natasa Trenev – vlasnik kompanije Natren) .
http://www.holisticmed.com/detox/dtx-probio.txt

U tesku se pominju jos par kompanija iz Britanije koje proizvode kvalitetne probiotike.

Pazljivo sam procitala sve sto ste napisali i pregledala sajtove. Verujem da unosenje slozenih ugljenih hidrata nije dobro ni za zdrave osobe. Na zalost ja sam uvek bila ljubitelj slatkisa i hrane koja je tog tipa. Imala sam problema sa kandidom u crevima i izbacila sam ugljene hidrate, popila vagon kvalitetnih probiotika uglavnom kupljenih u Kanadi i Americi i i dalje ih pijem. Dijagnoz mi je UK koji mi je utvrdjen 2006 g. Cetiri godine sam bila ok. I prosle godine nakon lecenja antibioticima krenuli su stomacni problemi. Kandidu ovdasnji gastroenterolozi bas nesto ne tretiraju kao problem. Uglavnom nakon terapije antimikoticima nemam vise kandidu ali tesko se snalazim sa ishranom i prilicno se mucim a i stolica je cesto neformirana.Ja sam sigurna da negde gresim u ishrani ali nisam dovoljno pametna da nadjem izlaz niti mislim da su lekari zainteresovani da pomognu. Oni vam jednostavno kazu jedite sve, a to ne ide bas uvek tako.
Sta konkretno od bazicnih namirnica koristite. Vidim da se kao i kod dijete za kandidu ne preporucuje krompir i zitarice. Ali sta jesti? meso uglavnom stvara kiselu sredinu u crevima, kao i riba. I gde naci mleko i kiseliti? Ispada da skoro sve sto je u nasim samoposlugama nije za ishranu jer skoro u svim proizvodima ima secera.
Pozdrav!

Gocilija, izbaci te antibiotike i predji na Origano oil koji sam pomenuo u par prethodnih postova. Problem nakon terapije antibioticima je taj sto je crevna flora potpuno poremecena i upravao tada se treba krenutu sa terapijom probioticima da bi se uspostavila ravnoteza.
SCD je odlicna polazna osnova na putu ka poptunoj remisiji/ilzecenju i ne mora se primenjivati dozivotno ako se kombinuje uz terapiju prirodnih antibioka i probiotika . Najveci izazov ove dijete jeste striktno postovanje pravila koja neke osobe jednostavno ne mogu da prate i odustaju posle izvesnog vremena. Treba imati jaku volju i biti strpljiv. Prvih par nedelja je najteze jer se dijeta uglavnom svodi na kuvano voce, povrce tipa sargarepa i boranija uz kuvanu piletinu dok se dijareja ne smanji ili potpuno nestane da bi se kasnije polako dodavale ostale namirnice.
Sta jesti? Sve vrste mesa su dozvoljene (kisela sredina u crevima je upravno ono sto treba da se postigne jer kandida i ostali patogeni "vole" alkalnu sredinu) , nikako se ne smeju konzumirati slozeni uglenji hidrati tipa hleb, pasta, brasno, zitarice, itd ...... svi slozeni seceri, samo je med dozvoljen i to u manjim kolicinama, nikako vestacki zasladjivaci.
Lista (i)lagalnih namirnica http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info ... al_a-c.htm

Naravno, tesko je u prodavnicama naci proizvod koji u sebi ne sadrzi secer, zato se hrana mora pripremati kod kuce, apsolutno izbegavati jesti po restoranima i tome slicno. Prvih par nedelja dosta vremena odlazi na spremanje hrane ali kasnije se malo bolje organizujes i nije tako strasno.
Kiseljenje mleka nije problem, cela procedura je objasnjenja na jednom od sajtova koje sam postavio.

Par sajtova sa SCD receptima:

Sajtovi su bez sumlje odlicni. Naidjoh na interesantan navod u vezi probiotika. Ja sam svojevremeno cula da u Kanadi obolelima od Uk i krona daju probiotik VSL3 i nabavila sam ga. sada vidim ovde da ga uopste ne preporucuju. Bas sam zbunjena.
Sto se tice hleba stvarno ne znam sta da kazem. Ja neki hleb moram jesti. Pravila bih ja sa sodom bikarbonom ali od kog brasna? Takodje mislim da nije problem ukiseliti mleko, ali ovo mleko koje se prodaje i nije mleko. Mozda da zivim negde na selu bih i mogla ovo sve da primenjujem. Nije mi tesko nista samo je problem dostupnosti namirnica. Ja sam bila prosle godine u Americi i videla jednostavno mozete sve da nadjete sto vam treba. Tako je verovatno i u Kanadi. Ovaj nacin ishrane i kvalitetni probiotici me jako zanimaju.

Gocilija,

Nailazio sam na pregrst postova na raznoraznim forumima u kojima je prva reakcija na SDC bila tipa , “ah, kako da se odreknem svog ominjenog jela, piazza”? (cvrc!)
Nemoj me pogresno shvatiti ……… ti kazes da ne mozes bez hleba, sa ovakvim ili slicnim stavom se ne moze ne samo izleciti Kron/colitis, vec se ne moze napraviti bilo kakav znacajniji pomak. Ja takodje nisam mogao da zamislim ni jednog trenutka zivot bez hleba ali veruj mi, posle par nedelja sam se navikao. Kao tinejdzer sam pio po litru mleka na dan, sve do pocetka dijete sam ga koristio svakodnevno.
Ova dijeta ne traje doveka, sa druge strane nije ni zdrava da se koritsi u nedogled. Potrebno je izdrzati jedno vreme bez omiljenih namirnica dok se ne zaleci sluzokoca creva a kasnije se postepeno mogu dodavati sve namirnice koje si i kasnije koristila s tim da se svedu na neku manju meru uz koriscenje probiotika, svih vrsta fermentisane hrane , kis. mleko, kis. kupus, kis. krastavci , tursije, itd .
Preradjeni seceri i belo brasno su dva najopsnija neprijatelja ne samo obolelih od Kron/colitis.

Na tebi je da odlucis , da li ces do kraja zivota da se mucis sa bolescu koja moze da eskalira svakog trenutka i dovede do ozbiljnih komplikacija ili ces da ulozis malo napora, stegnez zube relativno kratko vreme i dodjes, ako ne do potpunog izlecenja, a ono bar do remisije koju ces kasnije drzati pod kontrolom.

Hleb mozes da pravis od bademovog ili kamut brasna ako bas bez njega ne mozes. Naci ces recepte na sajtovima koje sam postavio.

Iskreno, hrana u Srbiji je jos uvek bolja/kvalitetnija o dove u Severnoj Americi i mislim da sve moze da se nabavi. Mleko u Sribiji je i dalje dobrog kvaliteta, nista losije nego ovde a ako ne i bolje. Najnovija glupost iz americke “kuinje” je tzv UTH, ultra high temperature processing mleko koje se zagreva cini mi se do neverovatnih 135 C ne bi li se produzio vek trajanja, to mleko ima neograniceni rok trajanja sve dok se ne otvori. Ali, istovremeno to mleko i nije mleko vec bela vodica jer se sa tako visokim temperaturama prilikom obrade ubija sve ono sto valja. Naravno, i klascina pasterizacija na oko 80 C unistava dobar deo enzima ali se zato kiseljenjem svi ovi nedostaci nadomestaju (u temi o probioticima sam pisao o beneficijama kis. mleka).

Uveren sam da se ova stvar moze sa uspehom izgurati i u Srbiji, samo se treba malo organizovati i ne odustajati.

U vezi prvog linka, aka Crohn Boy detaljno opisuje kako je posle teskog oblika Krona dosao do potpune remisije nakon godinu dana kombinovane SCD/probiotic/antibiotic terapije. Nisam mogao da prikacim PDF fajl zbog velicine istog pa cu iskopirati u ovom postu, malo je duzi teks ali vredi procitati.



**VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS**
Currently I am no longer on the SCD and eat a healthy diet of mostly organic fruits, vegetables, fish, soaked oatmeal (minimal), and some meats. Although I am not on a strict version of SCD I do stick to healthy foods which many are SCD legal. So for anyone reading this I ask you to please realize you MUST give your gut sufficient time to heal BEFORE you introduce SCD illegal foods such as sugar, starches, complex carbs etc. I still continue to stay away from all dairy as this is my preference and since all the other animals on the planet do not consume milk after they are infants I have chosen to do the same. From Monday to Friday I eat very healthy and on the weekends I do indulge a little bit having things such as: a few pancakes, toast, dairy free gelatti, pizza no cheese, diet soda (rarely), alcohol etc. I consume this stuff to treat myself I do not binge all weekend straight but I enjoy being able to eat almost anything I want If I choose to. In the beginning I only thought about what I was giving up but now I realized how much I got from giving my bad habits up as I feel better than ever. It also makes you appreciate those meals when you want to cheat etc because you savor the taste lol.
**WARNING** I’m telling everyone from my experience do not strive to be able to eat the “Normal” Standard American Diet again (SAD DIET). This was a huge issue for because I was dwelling on what I could not have and wanted to be able to eat it in the future. When I was finally able to consume these items again I binged and over did it which made me feel super crappy: tiredness, some gas, cramps, muscle & joint pain, lower sex drive, some candida issues etc. Although, this binging did not put me into a flare as I was able to control it when I felt like this I would not recommend anyone do this. Only in recent 2011 have I finally realized I want to be of optimum health and this requires a change of mind and a change of lifestyle. I research health 20-30 hrs. every week NO JOKE and using critical objective thought all conclusive information points to eventually going to a mostly RAW DIET. These people do not usually suffer from Cancer, other degenerative diseases, lifestyle diseases, and other ailments of old age etc. These people also look a lot younger than the majority of the population and who does not want to look younger? For me I love cooked foods because I’m use to them but I know they are not the answer and I will debate this anytime. I’m not saying to go RAW now but to realize it’s something you should eventually strive for. There is a point when we have to realize our current system is brutally failing; more sick people than ever, 1 in 3 people getting cancer in their lifetime, overweight, insecure, almost every person we know seems to have a lifestyle disease-diabetes, ADD, Asthma, heart disease, allergies, and even children being born with diseases….We will see the greatest flux of sick people the world has EVER seen so now ask yourself “Do I want to be part of this group we call: NORMAL?” I’ve thought about this so many countless hours and I say HECK NO! I hope you can take this advice to heart and learn from my mistakes instead of figuring this out the hard and painful way…..you may get away with it for a while BUT in the end it will kick ya in the a$$ that I promise you. I wrote this because I do care and want to help people which include avoiding mistakes I’ve made in the past.

There is no known Pharmaceutical or Surgical cure for Crohn's disease, Colitis etc.
When you really break down this comment and the way it is put together it makes you think. The comment stresses that there is no known pharmaceutical or surgical cure .................. and this comment is very true because the medical system has not brought us one. Who would have thought the medical system would fall short in bringing us a cure BUT they are always conveniently right there to provide us with a prescription for the newest drug.... :) Well I'm not a fan of pointless ranting as its counterproductive so let’s move on to the good stuff. This Statement does not say there is no cure it just says there is no cure in their matrix of thinking (Pharmaceutical or Surgical means). This is why if you search any search engine asking the RIGHT questions you will find 100s of people who have cured, overcame, or managed sustained remission for long periods of times (pick your terminology) and these people did it outside the realm of the medical mentality. When you speak with someone who has overcome the disease, for the 1st time you will start to believe that you can do it as well. I remember the 1st time I spoke to someone who overcame their severe IBD and has been healthy for almost 20+ years I no longer believed the garbage I was being told about being stuck with this disease forever (I was also so happy I wanted to cry like a little baby). From this moment I decided I was done being the victim and I would beat this thing.
Here I am today living a better life than I could have ever imagined. I know when a person is newly diagnosed and they are reading pamphlets, doing Google searches, visiting IBD forums, groups, watching videos, speaking with doctors there are a few consistent messages we all seem to get:
These Diseases are INCURABLE, sorry folks your stuck with this FOOOREVER!
Many IBD patients get to have operations to take out diseased intestines-wow thanks
You’re going to be on MEDS for the REST of your life, Good News for big Pharma and you if you own their stock :)
There's a great chance of you getting colon cancer at least you have something to look forward to….
I don't know about everyone else but this sure made me warm and tingly NOT!!! Well that's all good because we are going to flip it around on them in years to come. When people find out they have an IBD and search it on various search engines they will see videos of people overcoming the diseases, living awesome lives, and paying it forward, and helping others take their lives back. Since I started the CBOY site it has been evident with 300-500 visitors a day that people are indeed losing faith in the systems lack of results and credibility. I've also
been lucky enough to speak with so many people who have successfully overcome their IBD's and are indeed paying it forward.

**THE MAIN THINGS THAT HELPED ME OVERCOME THIS DISEASE**
I have a no BS approach and mentality so I decided I would trim the fat and get right to the juicy stuff which is by far the most important things that have allowed me and others to become med free and feel Awesome**
-Please take note this is just a summary and YOU MUST read the entire document to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

CARBOHYDRATE REDUCTION- I remember before I was sick most of my meals were 75%+ carbohydrates such as: sugar, potatoes, rice, bread and many others. I minimized the sugar and the other complex carbs to moderate amounts and again noticed great improvements. This is especially important in the beginning of your healing journey or whatever you call it. Overall, you will feel better by reducing the complex carbs, sugar, bleached flour etc just wait and see asthma, allergies, joint pain, heart disease, more energy, of the things that improve and the list will go on and on….
-PROBIOTICS –consume probiotics about 50 billion CFU daily I initially took Natren products for the first 6 months. I also consumed SCD legal goat’s yogurt worked great for me but then I made the decision to eliminate dairy all together and I have not felt better. I noticed huge gains after doing Jini Patel’s PROBIOTIC ENEMA so do not be scared to give it a try. After my first year using Natren products due to their excessive cost I decided to try another capsule probiotic. This product is called Ultimate Flora by Renew Life and has worked awesome for me at a cost of about 30.00 a month (1 capsule a day). This product also contains 50 Billions CFU per capsule and has worked great for me over the last 18 months.
-COLLOIDAL SILVER (CS)- this stuff works awesome as I still take about (1/2 cup) every day-I haven’t had a cold or anything in almost 3 years. CS is a natural antibiotic and proved to me that part of this disease is some kind of virus which when killed relieved many symptoms. I did have some die off symptoms in the beginning but after a week felt awesome. (Check out my colloidal silver link on my site to see where you can buy the machine and why it will not turn you blue like some people may think. It is important to look at buying the machine as you will know the quality of the CS because you make it. You will also save lots of money if you buy the machine which cost about $200.00 compared to a small container which cost $20.00. For the 1st year of my healing phase I was drinking around 2 cups a day and this would have cost me a lot of money if I just went an d bought it at the health store.
ENZYMES- I do not consume crazy amounts of enzymes but I usually try to take 1-2 capsules with each meal (especially with carbs). I have noticed I am able to digest my food so much better and would recommend anyone try these things but to make sure you take it slow starting at 1-2 capsules a meal etc. I buy my enzymes from Avena and I only buy the full spectrum ones and take 2 a day but some people do take more per meal. I usually buy the 500 capsules because I’m frugal and I want to save some cash by buying a little more lol Although I use Avena products you can pick up many full spectrum enzymes at your local health store which may priced well and be great products the choice is ultimately your. Feel free to check this link out if you are interested in the Avena enzymes. http://www.avenaoriginals.com/store/pro ... &PT_ID=all
** Feel free to try other full spectrum enzymes and see how they work**
The only reason I say this is because sometimes it is more affordable with other brands. I would personally try the Avena enzymes first and then try others to see if they work as well.
VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS These vitamins gave my body what it needed to heal and recover from my disease. If your car runs out of oil it can drive but not very well give it what it needs and the performance will come back. Let’s be straight up here! 100 years ago you may have been able to get all the Nutrients you need from just diet alone but due to Nutritional deficiencies in the soil we are lacking all the time which is why additional supplements are required. I have spoke with other people in the health industry and they indicated even if I ate all organic the food would still be deficient as the fruit or vegetable can only get nutrients from the soil and if the soil lacks the fruit or vegetables are lacking… really think about it.
Vitamin supplements have made a huge difference in my life and I will never stop taking them. But with time you may add or decrease vitamin supplements to what you need as there is no perfect solution so sometimes we do try new things, improvise and so forth.
This vitamin strategy is not just as easy as taking one of those 1 a day orange multi vitamin pills (you know which ones I’m speaking of) I remember hearing a story from a friend about a guy that use to clean portable washrooms (porta potties) and he said when he cleaned out the tanks that he would see so many of these multi vitamins that never even got absorbed just went right through and he even said you could still read the writing on the vitamin now that’s hilarious lol is it true who knows……….. Here are the vitamins I take. (I’m only telling you what has worked for me)
My Daily Vitamin & Supplement Regimen: (this is what works for me)
Multi Vitamin- 2-3 capsules a day (Multi Factors Men’s by Natural Factors)
Vitamin C 1 cap a day (bio c gel-high abs ascorbate c 500 mg-90 soft gels)
Vitamin D3 6-10 tablets a day (1000 IU tablets by Natural Factors-180 tablets)
Vitamin E- 1 capsule a day 400 IU
Beta Carotene-1 tablet per day (Natural Factors 10,000 IU-90 tablets)
Zinc Citrate- 1 per day (Natural Factors 50mg tablets-size 90 tablets)
Selenium – 300-400 mcg daily per day (mineral for your immune system-Natural Factors 90 tabs 100mcg each
ChromiumGTF-chelate 400 mcg day
Fish Oil-Carlson’s 1 teaspoon a day
L-Glutamine 4-5 grams a day (1 teaspoon) (**helps to curb sugar & carbohydrate cravings**, also helps grow new muscle and heal intestinal mucosal cells etc) Best on an empty stomach is possible.
Himalayan or SEA Salt ½ teaspoon–for trace minerals –I take it straight with water yes yuck lol but you will see after 2 weeks that it does make a difference.
**I usually take all the vitamins after breakfast as I am rather lazy and do not like having to pop pills all day so I get it all out of the way first thing.

VITAMINS
I consume vitamin D3 (I take 6000-10,000) IU daily-but see the blog post and the book I recommend to find more about how much you should supplement etc) From the research I have done I believe in my heart that consuming under 10,000 IU daily is safe and do not worry about this. Review this BLOG post for more information showing how this vitamin helps with diseases etc and why most of us in the western hemisphere are deficient of this important vitamin: http://crohnsboy.blogspot.com/2010/09/v ... ighly.html
I take a good MULTI-Vitamin which I buy from my local health food store. I would recommend something that comes in capsules rather than a tablet as they digest a lot better in the stomach. I use natural factors brand for men but they have for women and for 55+ etc. You should try a variety of vitamins and see what works best for you.
MINERALS
I consume Himalayan Salt which is an inexpensive way to get as many as 82 out of the important 84 trace minerals. I usually consume ½ teaspoon of this salt daily and I feel great doing so. (but, I will point out that I do not over do salt when I cook or when I eat out etc) I also have a good friend in Hawaii who just simply drinks a few sips of ocean water each day as is it said to have high concentration of trace minerals. I have been drinking the ocean water for some time and it has worked great for me. Every time I go on a trip I fill a few bottles of ocean water and this usually last me a few months. I live in the Midwest so we do not have any oceans close to us.

**CHANGE YOUR MINDSET**
DON’T SCREW UP YOUR SECOND CHANCE-I know most people will be like I was when they overcome this disease……….thinking I can’t wait to return to a “normal” diet again I was one of those people but I will tell you now WAKE UP and think twice!!!!! I made the mistake of binging the first few weeks as I was able to eat almost any food of my choice and I started to feel crappy again so I changed my approach. Like an athlete who previously had an injury to his knee will have to watch out in the future as there is more potential to hurt it again if care is not taken. Our weakness is in our gut so we cannot expect to abuse it for weeks at a time and have no side effects.
I have found my current approach to be the perfect balance which allows me to enjoy some of the food I have loved for years but still eating healthy overall. During the week Monday-Friday I try to consume mostly organic fruits, vegetables, eggs and small quantities of meat, fish and 1 pc a whole wheat bread etc I do have the odd cheat during the week but try to eat as healthy as possible. When the weekend comes I enjoy it and have cheats in moderation such as hamburger, toast, cookies, dairy free gelatti, wine etc almost everything besides milk products, yes alcohol but not excessive amounts. I can tell you once you get sick and almost all foods upset you when you are finally able to eat some of those foods again they will taste awesome. Life is too short to keep yourself from the good tasting things all the time……….at least this is my opinion. The truth is we are all looking for the same result (overcome our IBD’s or any disease and get our lives back) so lets think outside the box and try something different rather than operations and drugs that hurt us more than help us.
**OTHER THINGS THAT HELPED ME ALONG THE WAY**
CHEW YOUR FOOD until it is almost mush-30-60 times, I never use to chew my food properly but now I do, and I noticed way less cramps. When you chew your food properly you’re saving work for your stomach. We have teeth to chew our food so we might as well use them for their given purpose. Also chewing your food wells aids digestion as more digestive enzymes are secreted. You don’t have to be a fanatic. To put it simply just do as much work with your teeth so it makes it easier for your gut.
DRINK WATER and AT THE RIGHT TIMES (Rule of Thumb ½ ounce per pound of body weight)
So for someone weighing 160lbs would drink 80 ounces daily = 2.4 Liters per day

Minimize your Fluoride exposure:
Well I think the most important thing is to first STAY FAR AWAY from tap water which contains fluoride and chlorine.

**I do not drink during a meal as when you chew you secrete enzymes which help your stomach digest the food if you drink too much while eating you water these enzymes down, if you have to drink while eating limit it to 1/2 a cup (but I would try hard to not do it at first and see if there are benefits) I am human like anyone else and I don’t always follow the rules as I do like to drink red wine with my meals but hold off on this but eventually you will know your body and how it reacts etc.
-Also try not to drink anything 30-45min after eating
**Drinking water in this pattern works to keep the digestive track moist and will help with keeping you regular** Constipation is one of the worst things for ANY person as when your waste sits in your body for long periods of time it begins to reabsorb the toxins which you are trying to expel. Walking also helps you become more regular (**see Walking**)
DON’T GOTO SLEEP ON A FULL STOMACH
**Do not eat 3+ hours before bed time; if you have to eat then have a well tolerated fruit no later than 1 hour before bedtime as fruits are easily digested usually within 30-45 minutes. You want your stomach to be empty so it is not doing work to ensure more energy will be conserved for healing instead of digesting your food. I know we live in a society which has become (rush rush) and this will be hard at first, but you will see the benefit in time. Once you are healed from your IBD you will notice if you eat late the odd time it will not bother you.

SCD DIET
Specific Carbohydrate Diet

I Decided to Go on SCD DIET (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and it helped me a great deal in overcoming my IBD. Through research and many people I have spoke with I believe this diet to be the first phase to overcoming an IBD. I am very grateful to Elaine for writing this book as it
gave me a second chance and kept me out of the hospital. Many people are managing their diseases without drugs and the number of people doing so is nothing short of amazing. I think any person with an IBD should read the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. I will admit I do believe this diet alone will not cure you. There have a few people that have overcome the disease using SCD DIET and returned to normal diets but these results are not typical. There are many more components to IBD’s than just diet alone and this is stuff that I am mentioning in this document which SCD and the book BTVC do not address. Please check out more SCD information on my website under SCD DIET INFO. Again I am a strong advocate of this diet and believe in it passionately. I believe other things used with the SCD diet can accelerate your healing progress dramatically. See my Blog post http://crohnsboy.blogspot.com/2009/02/s ... legal.html to make sure you do not get stuck in the SCD box.
Thoughts of a Medical Doctor:
Also see this link for a doctor’s approach using SCD with his patients with great success
http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/171
I now eat whatever I want but during the week I do eat a similar diet to SCD consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, eggs (organic, grass fed) some fish (fresh not farmed), chicken+ beef (grass fed organic etc.) and on the weekends I tend indulge a little bit. “Changing my lifestyle has only positively affected my life in almost every way”

Here are some of my Quick SCD Optimization Tips
-Do the intro diet as it will help remove the bad bacteria in your gut. I never did the intro diet initially as I did not think I needed to. A few months after starting the diet, I read some information stipulating the importance of doing it. I decided I would give the intro diet a try. I only did it for 5 days and I noticed a dramatic difference. I realized that I most likely stalled my own healing progress by not doing this from the beginning.
- Simplify your diet/Create a SAFE diet (VERY IMPORTANT) stick to only a few foods in the beginning such as chicken, green beans, banana, SCD yogurt etc. You want to create a simple safe diet where you notice that you feel good and have minimal symptoms of the disease. This is also very important because your objective is to heal and you want to give your body sufficient time to heal. What typically happens when people start SCD is that they try and replace their regular junk food with SCD junk food and they lack results. Do not try and rush adding in new foods to your diet as this will come in time and your progress will benefit from doing so. I know this seems hard but you will get a lot further and quicker taking this approach.
This is the main reason that people do not get the results they want with SCD. I’m telling you this so you will not have to waste all the time I did trying to figure it out the hard way.
-Minimize nut products (this is crucial when symptoms are active especially gas and D are present) Like I mentioned above we tend to want to switch our pre SCD food such as cake, bread to SCD legal food such as nut flour baked goods. Like most people I have spoken with over the last few years they also over consumed nut products and experienced increase gas and cramping etc.
-Do not over consume honey, fruits and nut products as these can give you increased symptoms . I think nut flour and peanut butter can be the worst if you are overdoing them. If you have symptoms try removing these for a week and see how you feel.
-Stay away from eggs if gas and D are still very active symptoms. You will be amazed how a few small things can change your progress. Also remove them from your diet periodically to see if you notice any improvement.
-Eliminate milk and dairy products YES cheese-just to see if your symptoms improve and try goat’s yogurt instead. I will be forward that I am indeed **ANTI DAIRY** but do believe SCD legal yogurt is very beneficial in repopulating the guts bacteria. Besides the SCD legal yogurt I would prompt you to stay away from dairy. I will ask you simply to think about this: What other mammal consumes milk after infancy and on top of that milk from another species? Our current thoughts on dairy are the results of great marketing propaganda campaigns which seem to be doing a great job “milk does a body good” ………………
-Try the Goats Yogurt SCD LEGAL as it is tolerable by more people and is easier digested than cows milk. Goat’s milk is the most similar to human milk and contains less casein than cow’s milk. I know this yogurt can be quite runny but stop complaining and do it because once you feel great this will be the least of your concerns. I’m joking lol to decrease the runniness of the goats yogurt drip it which will get rid of the excess water etc.
My Diet in the Beginning (3-6 months)
AM: 1/2 cup of goat yogurt- SCD legal, 1 Banana pancake (1 egg & 1 Banana with spots mashed together) cooked in a frying pan with olive oil, then once cooked topped with a little bit of honey, olive oil (or butter if well tolerated), and topped with cinnamon. **But if I was experiencing active D would avoid the egg and just have a banana**

LUNCH: baked chicken, green beans, and 1 almond muffin-I tried without the muffin at first then added 1 and was fine. But if I consumed 2 muffins I noticed lots of smelly gas and some D.
DINNER: baked chicken, green beans, and ½ cup of goats yogurt
PLEASE REMEMBER-this menu is not forever just until you get a handle on things, and so that you can give your body some consistent healing time. If you spend your time adding and removing foods because of increased symptoms you are not giving your body an extended time to heal and is ultimately counterproductive. Please trust me and do this for a few months. Yes this may be hard at times and when you feel you’re going through a tempting moment focus on where you want to be “healed living a KICK ASS life….you will get there”
TAKE A GOOD PROBIOTIC or SCD LEGAL YOGURT
I believe this to be one of most important aspects of your healing process as it helps re-populate your gut with good bacteria. I noticed my symptoms drastically disappear when I started consuming goat’s yogurt (SCD LEGAL only)
SCD LEGAL YOGURT
If you are going to consume yogurt I only recommend SCD legal, even for people who are not on SCD this yogurt offers way more pro-biotic benefit than any other yogurt on the market. Another great thing about the yogurt is it has awesome benefits and is so cheap to make so it’s worth a try. You can use the following link to see how to make it and why it benefits you etc. If you want to buy a machine and start making it I recommend purchasing it from Lucy’s Kitchen:
http://www.scdkitchen.com/yogourmet.html **If, you can find a better deal local or somewhere else do what is best for your financial situation. I used Lucy’s link because she helped me in the beginning and I would rather send business to people that are making a difference compared to some big box retail chain.
See this link for a picture guide to making the Yogurt was great for an idiot like me 
http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info ... oghurt.htm
**Goats milk yogurt** this made a huge difference in my healing path. I recommend goats milk as it has more healing properties than cows milk. Check this link out and do your own research. http://altmedangel.com/milkcomp.htm

for the Probiotic enema once a year. I would advise anyone to start with the Natren products initially and especially for use in Jini’s Probiotic enema which helped me out a lot and then transition to a more affordable product. After using Natren pb’s I decided to try another Billion CFU per capsule” (cost 30.00 month) and they have worked awesome for the last 18-20 months.**
In regards to PB’s they can be awesome! The hard task is finding good ones as many of the products available are garbage. Companies have just seen the need and started putting out products to get a piece of the market.
-Most PB’s don’t list the actual strains of bacteria on their bottles.
-They do not guarantee amount of bacteria only at time of packaging
- Usually only contain a small bit of the desired bacteria and the rest are fillers (check for yourself)
-there is no governing rule or a standard division of the government which actually controls and regulates the PB industry so it is so hard to actually determine the quality of these PB’s on the market.
Taking previous information into consideration I urge you to try what I am recommending, but if you are unable to locate them please do your research before purchasing another product. I am a believer in health modeling so I would urge you to seek out the products I mention first.
After reading Jini’s Book I decided to take PB’s even though they were considered illegal on the SCD DIET (due to the Bifido bacteria). I started with ¼ teaspoon of each strain on an empty stomach, mixed with a glass of filtered water (non tap) water twice a day. Once in the afternoon before lunch, and then once right before bed as a lot of time for the little buggers to flourish. I also continued to consume yogurt in the morning and for dinner as when I stopped I noticed I got bloated as it aided my digestion process.
FOR PEOPLE ON SCD….scared of trying PB’s outside of SCD rules?? Please read part of my past blog post describing this.
Bifdus: You go into some pretty crazy scientific context which many of us do not understand and does not make it more correct, but many points are relevant. On the other hand you do not speak of how Bifidus is the dominant bacteria in the large intestine in healthy people..? Perhaps
most of the genus or species that are used in these yogurt starters are dangerous for people who are on SCD. I read about people that went into possible flares after they tried Bifidus and as soon as they stopped it went away. Who is to say that when they introduced these new bacteria their body encountered a detox called the Herxeimer effect: is a rapid drastic die off which can feel very much like a flare. I have experienced this myself personally after doing a probiotic enema. I was very scared to try PB’s that contained Bifidus as I read what everyone was writing so I started doing research and seen that this bacteria is very important in our gut. Everything I understood about Bifidus was most likely incorrect as I was only basing it upon SCD literature not my own diligent research. To go a step further of all the people I have spoken with who are med free and are able to eat what they want they have all consumed probiotics that include Bifudus/Bifido etc. This may be another reason why as soon as people on SCD have illegal ingredients they experience symptoms of their specific IBD. It is very evident that there are some components missing from SCD which allow a person to return to other foods beyond the SCD legal list. Science in its pure entity should be progressive and improve as variables change such as: new evidence brought forward, technology advancements are made, and many others. Elaine was always researching information so she could change SCD information when new evidence was brought forward. When Elaine Gottschall passed away, the progressive nature of SCD, which she made her life disappeared.
I am not anti-SCD I just want to communicate how important it is to remain a free-minded critical thinker and to not treat SCD information as biblical text because it is NOT! By the same context the information provided in this e-book is based on my health modeling principles and my experience so do what you believe to be right.

NATREN PRODUCTS
BIFIDO FACTOR, MEGADOPHILUS, & DIGESTA-LAC –I use the non dairy powders as well 3.5oz size. That is my preference not saying one is better than another.
I chose to take only 2 dairy free powders which were Bifido Factor and Megadophilus which I took once a day ½ a teaspoon a day in the later morning, and I consume 1 Healthy Trinity Capsule at night. In regards to these probiotics I would advise that you contact your local health store as you can ask them to bring Natren products in as they will be a lot cheaper than ordering them online as the transport fees can be excessive. If you can’t find any send me an email and I will see if I can help you out in your search.
Check this link out to find a store near you that will carry Natren products using their STORE LOCATOR
http://store.natren.com/StoreLocator/ne ... lient.aspx
I would advise taking these powders for the first 6 months along with Healthy Trinity Capsules but after that I would transition to “ULTIMATE FLORA” by Renew Life. But if you can’t
afford the powders you can try using the Ultimate Flora instead, do what works best for your situation.

**WEED, FEED & RE-SEED**
I believe this concept is the fundamental key to overcoming IBD’s.
WEED- use something that kills the bad bugs (Colloidal Silver), pathogens, infectious part of
IBD’s whatever it may be.
FEED- Give your gut the healthy bacteria it needs to fight and overcome your disease and I would say the best things for this would be Probiotics previously mentioned, SCD legal yogurt,
and Jini Patel’s Probiotic Retention Enema which I was scared to try initially but experienced a flare one time for 10+ days and this enema took me out of the flare and I was almost back to normal within 2 days you can read about me doing this enema by checking out this link:
http://crohnsboy.blogspot.com/2009/02/t ... enema.html
RE-SEED-Continue to take a maintenance dose of probiotics, yogurt (SCD legal), fermented foods such as cabbage etc simply put keep giving your gut good bacteria.
*I believe in my heart if more people tried this P.R.E (Probiotic Retention Enema) enema protocol it would help most people come out of their flares and get them on the track to healing themselves. Jini Patel is really showing people how important getting the appropriate bacteria into our gut is and how important it is to kill the bad stuff that is unwanted in our guts. Everyone has their opinion but this lady and her main assistant both had CD and now live normal lives eating great diets that are not that restricted. This is enough to tell me that they are doing something right. I would recommend that anyone with an IBD should read the book “Listen to Your Gut” by Jini Patel as she talks about so many aspects of IBD’s that you will be amazed. I will be upfront I do not agree on all of her protocols or methods but I believe she does state many things that will help people with IBD’s. I have done SCD Diet along with doing stuff that she recommended even though it was not all SCD legal. I can tell you the things such as the Probiotics, and Georges Aloe Vera juice, have changed my life and are definitely worth your time to look into them further. You can see the e-book copy of the protocols she offers that I be believe to be the most beneficial
http://crohnsboy.blogspot.com/2009/11/great-news.html

For many people who do not want to do a diet like the SCD diet there is clinical data which shows reduction of symptoms was present when people reduced their carb intake.
Dr Wolfgang Lutz documented a controlled study in which 67crohn's patients followed a low carb diet. After 1.5 years 80% were symptom free, 70% were symptom free after 6 months. The concept is very similar do not leave undigested food which can feed the bad bacteria similar concept to SCD but not as restricted. It's definitely worth a read as it will help you understand more about your condition. I calculated my bread units using the chart and I was way over, I dropped it the next day and my gas was reduced by at least 80%.There is much truth to his concepts. See more info about Dr. Lutz here
** I strongly recommend that you follow the next link and read more info about this topic and download the “BU CARB CHART” and do your calculation. I am pretty sure you will be quite over the suggested amount and if you reduce this for a week you will notice a drastic difference as I did. If link doesn’t work just go directly to my site to find the file or send me an email. **This Chart also comes in handy for people following SCD as it helped me while I was on SCD** http://www.crohnsboy.com/crimson99_038.htm

TAKE FISH PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE FISH OIL
Fish oil is a natural anti-inflammatory. Doctors treat Crohn’s with anti-inflammatory drugs. Note: Use pharmaceutical grade only – anything else is virtually worthless. I take 1 spoon daily and it has made a huge difference. When shopping for this try and buy a product which does not come from farmed fish but rather from fresh fish. I use Carlson Fish oil with lemon or orange taste and it doesn’t taste like bad smelly fish.
TAKE GEORGES ALWAYS ACTIVE ALOE VERA

**USE A NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC**
Everyone has a different answer for what causes IBD’s etc but many people who have IBD’s usually have issues with bag bugs, pathogens, yeast, Candida etc so it’s good to take something which will kill the little bastards. I have taken and still continue to tale Colloidal Silver and have had GREAT results.

Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful and natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food. The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung (easy way to put it). Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans I have noticed a huge difference with CS, nothing short of AMAZING. Within the first few days of taking it I noticed less gas and was able to tolerate more foods that I could not tolerate before. The hard thing with CS is that nobody controls the patents and there are no quality standards for the product so it is hard to know what you are buying. This is why I decided to buy my own machine and make my own CS. Click the link below and it will take you to the company where I bought my machine which is the smaller machine as it was within my budget. I do not make any commissions of this referral so make this decision based on your own opinion not my referral alone. I do not care if you buy the machine or not I am just providing unbiased information which I believe will help you improve your health. I am very sincere that this product is amazing and changed my life.

component)
It is known and documented that Inflammatory Bowel diseases are linked to stress in various ways. A Fun Fact: the majority (70-90%) of our neuroreceptor’s from our brain are located in our gut. This shows you the direct relation to the importance of the gut and its many functions. Any person without an IBD still admits to getting an upset stomach when they are nervous butterflies etc. To keep this simple you will notice that your symptoms will be worse during periods of high stress etc. With this said it is important to relive stress by participating in physical exercise, meditation, handling unresolved issues, walking, sex, or anything non destructive lol that helps you relieve this unwanted stress. In my opinion most of this stress is over the way we see things in our life or things that have occurred in our past so it is important to address these issues instead of keeping things locked up. I grew up in a broken family and we were very poor and for years I blamed my parents for the way things turned out but when I finally let go of this resentment and looked at how I wanted my future to be. I felt so relieved and this improved my mental and physical health dramatically. Whenever you’re encountering any problem always try to look at things from a 360 degree perspective. I could have blamed my parents for the things they did wrong but when I realized both my parents did not have the best upbringing so they were not perfect and they did not know better it made me realize it was not their intent to hurt me.
You will be amazed when you look at things this way you will see most people never intended to purposely hurt you or try to create stress in your life. Speak your mind and your feelings to anyone in your life and especially when someone offends or hurts you as this way. You are simply making them aware how you feel. I no longer hold things in like I use to and this has helped me in every aspect of my life so give it a try and see where it takes you. Also try and never make a decision with emotion….if you’re mad don’t get go crazy on some one too fast wait until the next day or week and see how you feel then and you will be surprised that your feeling usually change as you were just heated in the moment.

Started SCD FEB 1st 2008
3 WEEKS ON SCD
****7-8 MONTHS ON SCD***
cramps less 80% gas still present and excessive, and smelly
**this is where I changed lots and got amazing results**I realized lots of mistakes and changed lots within a 1 month period***
stopped eating mustard,onions,garlic
**had Fistula**
reduced all red meat to minimal a treat once or twice a wk
bm's still 3 daily unformed
reduced almond products to 1 daily
consuming 3-5 almond products
took peanut butter out of my diet
no meds
no longer drank while I ate (review my optimization documents)
took fish oil, SCD multi-vitamins
did not eat 3 hours before bedtime
usually ate chicken+veggies, and pork and beef
stopped drinking grape juice if I had it was a few ounces a day 1/4 juice 3/4 water lots of carbs
lots of peanut butter, and way too much honey
Did my Bread Unit Calculation and was having way too many carbs reduced carbs and gas and bloating were almost non existant (see optimization documents)
lots of grape juice
reduced bananas 2 daily **My weakest Link**
3-4 bananas daily
Started Goats Yogurt-WOW made a huge difference- My D and unformed BMS pretty much went away over night…within a few days -I have 1/2 cup in AM, 1/2 cup with dinner
ate onions,mustard, lots of salt etc.
Started drinking a few ounce of colloidal silver in the morning and before bed-again huge improvement. Reduce gas and was no longer smelly.
work out 3-5 times a week
continued working out walking few times a week also did yoga pose (see optimization)
meals 3 times daily-and yes energy was Awesome!
3 MONTHS ON SCD
reduce honey intake to few teaspoons a day
***Fitsula healed up, no more mucus or blood in stool, no more night sweats, no more dry mouth when waking up, good night sleeps became consistant, still some joint pain, exzhema, dry skin, athletes foot, bm not liquid but still unformed occuring 1-4 times daily, frequently tired, still felt some foods scrape through intestines (fried pork and butter for some reason), felt illeum swollen like obstruction present (bump or ball lower right side), Still grateful and overall felt 7/10****
**as Candida is an issue keeping honey and bananas, fruit anything with sugar to a minimum will also get you awesome results do it for 1 month and see how ya feel I. I know it will be worth the sacrifice. I know this is hard as I am also in love with honey and bananas so believe me I know how hard it is. We do not have to do this forever just for a good amount of time to starve the pathogens, or bad bacteria etc in your system. Along with SCD it's good to try taking something like Colloidal Silver or Oil of Oregano which will add to the punch. Why not starve them and beat them at the same time? Also if you have skin rashes like I did these are usually directly linked to Candida or yeast etc they are SIGNALs so don’t just get cream to make them go away solve the roote of the problem.
had 3 month flare lasted 1 week
it was not a bad flare but still happened I took Boswellia extract during this time and it worked. First few days of flare nothing but fluids or blended banana shakes
Bm's were formed regularly,my energy came back, was not tired every day like I was before, my joint pain almost completely went away, my brain felt more clear and less fuzzy, got a great sleep almost every night, rashes on my body started to disappear (exzhema etc), bloating rare, gas no longer smelly and if I was strict with carb content almost non existent Overall I feel awesome and almost every day is a 9/10 so that’s a KICK ASS day for me!
If I can give anyone any advice do not waste all the months I did. Keep it simple at first then add on to your diet. Try the stuff I did in my 7th month in your 1st month. Make sure to download the optimization documents. When I first started my healing process I was always trying to ask people when do you think I'll be better? There is no answer for this, stop looking for someone to answer that question. When you provide your body with the right conditions it will heal!
6 MONTHS ON SCD
had 6 month flare not really any pain just constant D 10 times a day for week straight-possible die off-also used Boswellia during this time Symptoms didn't really change since first 3 months so still felt 7/10 daily
I decided to create this chart because it seems like everyone wants to see a map of how things may go so thought I would do something that may help some people out. Also always keep in mind we did not get our given disease's in a a few months and they will not usally go away in that time frame. You may notice most of your symptoms disappear in 6 months or less but the remaining symptoms may take a year or two. I have learned healing usually happens in layers which work in alignment with the conditions provided to heal. I can't stress enough that SCD alone will not heal you!!! you will have to make some lifestyle changes such as exercising, yoga, reading books-self help, novels anything, speaking about your feeling regularly, spending time with family, doing the things you always wanted to do, really simple way to put it make yourself happy physically and mentally. Once your at that point you will be grateful for this disease as it changed your life for the better and when you realize that drop me an email and say you were right DUDE! I am still going through my healing phase with every few months I notice things improve as I educate myself more and try other things etc so make sure to keep your mind open to other things which will make your life and overall health better. I can tell you this the process of improving your health mentally and physically will never be over as we change or approach changed thats just the name of the game. Hopefully this chart has helped ya and if you ever need any help or encouragement do not by shy to drop me a line. Jay aka crohnsboy Info@crohnsboy.com

**Currently I am no longer on SCD and eat a healthy diet of mostly organic fruits, vegetables, fish, soaked oatmeal, and some meats. I still continue to stay away from all dairy as this is my preference and since all the other animals on the planet do not consume milk after they are infants I have chose do the same. From Monday to Friday I eat very healthy and on the weekends I do indulge a little bit having things such as: pancakes, toast, dairy free gelatti, pizza no cheese, diet soda (rarely), alcohol etc. I consume this stuff to treat myself I do not binge all weekend straight but I enjoy being able to eat almost anything I want If I choose to. In the beginning I only thought about what I was giving up but now I realized how much I got from giving my bad habits up as I feel better than ever. It also makes you appreciate those meals when you want to cheat etc because you savor the taste lol.

Hvala na velikomm trudu. Evo glava me zabolela citajuci. Ma ne spadam ja bas u te sto kazu ne mogu ja bez ovoga ili onoga. Nije da se branim, ali cu reci da sam ostavila cigarete, vise se i ne secam kada ima tome nekih 30 tak godina. Mislim da su tada i krenuli problemi. A spdala sam u one pusace koji ne mogu da izdrze u bioskopu ceo film da odgledaju nego sam izlazila da povucem neki dim.
Evo vec devet meseci ne jedem nista slatko jer me ta kandida toliko isprepadala da sam mislial da cu da umrem. Znaci ibacila sam potpuno ugljene hidrate, a onda je moj organizam sa 72 kg dosao na 62-63. Ma mogu sve covece, samo mislim da bi i strucnjaku nutricionisti bilo tesko da unese sve sto je potrebno a da pri tome ne provocira kolitis, kandidu ili narusi nesto sasvim trece. Sigurna sam da ovaj nacin ishrane pomaze. Ja sam posle ove infekcije kandidom rekla da vise nikada necu jesti kolace ako ostanem ziva. A da ne govorim koliko se plasim sta ce se desiti kada budem morala da uzimam antibiotike. Imam dosta godina i kod mene sigurno to sve ide mnogo teze i sporije.Ne znam nisam pametna. Volela bih pre svega da vratim makar 3 kg. Sutra nastavljam sa citanjem Ustvari vec je sutra :).
Hvala, jos jednom puno!

Bilo bi sjajno kad bi pomenute knjige postojale na srpskom... Ako neko nekad naiđe na njih, nek javi.

I kakav je stav prema prženoj hrani u ovoj dijeti?
