    Reducing Inflammation

    Reducing other inflammatory foods -not just sugar- might help, (rather than trying to supplement with anti-inflammatory products to counteract the effects of inflammatory foods) Have you tried an elimination diet to see if there is an improvement (particularly a gluten free one)?

    Need to loose weight

    you might want to look at FODMAPS for the bloating, and add this to paleo and see what happens. Pred will cause weight gain so you might want to aim to reduce the need for it by eating a paleo diet that nourishes your microbiome FODMAPS Podcast - easy listening, i like to walk in nature while...

    Eating All Natural

    Definitely a move in the right direction but many natural whole foods can be problematic. Finding what suits you is the hard part - something like FODMAPS or Paleo AI protocol are good ways to identify what foods are problematic - basically a strict elimination diet eating 'safe' low reaction...

    SCD/Paleo/GAPS Support Group

    Added a couple of links to last post, happy to help if i can but every SCD diet is personalised. After the intro you reintroduce foods to see if they are tolerated, so different people will be able to add different foods at different rates. Listen to the FODMAPS podcast i posted earlier as it...

    Paleo Diet Success?

    yeah, get used to that....... Take ya pills and shut up........ but seriously, google will give you lists of paleo/primal doctors, not saying they're any good. My thoughts are you will find almost as many dickheads amongst them as the general population of doctors but at least you won't have to...

    Fructose

    Ideally, less (or no) sugar, you can buy pure glucose (about 80% as sweet as sucrose), give it a try but undigested sugar is used as food by the 'harmful' bacteria running amok in your intestines

    Fructose

    Cane sugar is refined sugar, It is called sucrose Cane Sugar is composed of 50% glucose, 50% fructose HFCS,(or corn sugar) is (from memory) is composed of 55%fructose, 45% glucose Sucrose is a disaccharide[2] (a carbohydrate composed of two monosacarides[1] - see below) Many sugars can be hard...

    SCD/Paleo/GAPS Support Group

    Fodmaps cookbooks may be of limited value because people have problems with different fermentable sugars. Fodmaps diets are elimination diets, stop eating anything that might be a problem and reintroduce them slowly to work out which ones are a problem' The idea is to work out which ones affect...

    Eat your Broccoli, seriously

    I think these were the actual results that the article was referring to..... "Translocation of E coli across M-cells is reduced by soluble plant fibres, particularly plantain and broccoli, but increased by the emulsifier Polysorbate-80. These effects occur at relevant concentrations and may...

    Can I Make SCD yogurt from store bought?

    you can use it as a starter but you cannot make it SCD compliant..... Yogurt - Commercially Produced "....additional milk solids including lactose and protein are added to commercial yoghurt and then subjected to the short fermentation. Because of so much lactose in it from the very beginning...

    FECAL TRANSPLANTS: A Guide

    The short answer is we don't know. the long answer is that there is far more evidence to suggest that some foods cause changes in microbiota that lead to auto-immune disease (particularly thyroid and celiac (at this stage)) Introduced bacteria (and those already present) will only thrive if...

    Specific Carbohydrate Diet Support

    Cocoa (and cacao) are considered possible irritants on SCD. I am not sure if I am a fan of SCD or not. It is very useful to have a comprehensive guide to follow, and if not followed to the letter it in not possible to know if it works or not, but it is overly cautious on many issues and doesn't...

    Papaya

    Not sure if your priorities are loosing weight or gaining muscle? The whole 'fat makes you fat' thing should have been lain to rest ages ago, reducing processed carbs and eating more whole foods is the first thing to do. Walking and some resistance exercise is the second. It should be possible...

    What's the latest consensus on eating carbohydrates and how it effects IBD?

    A consensus on carbs will come, but just after world peace and an end to poverty. If you didn't like paleo then maybe somewhere between 'perfect health diet' and 'pegan' would suit you. People are eating less fiber and more refined carbs, and this is probably a big part of the problem. But...

    SCD/Paleo/GAPS Support Group

    Sorry to hear that you haven't had good results with the paleo diet. Maybe you could start a new post with your actual diet and we can offer suggestions..... Diets like SCD and GAPS have an introduction phase and then a gradual reintroduction of 'legal' foods to make sure the individual...

    Carb related inflammation

    No, I am under the impression that rice falls in the cellular carbs category. White rice has the outside layer polished off but is still unground. I did eliminate all carbs for month while on scd, and then gradually reintroduced tubers as i found paleo a better fit, and reintroduced rice much...
