    Probiotics, "Gets worse before it gets better" thing...

    I wish I'd read this before I spent $40 on one containing bifidum yesterday morning because I had a coupon. I haven't been able to find a lot of specific info regarding good / bad strains for CD. All you see is acidophilus this and that. save it for later, once you have built up a healthier...

    Probiotics, "Gets worse before it gets better" thing...

    SCD recommends avoiding probiotics with bifidus ..... "Before we get into the good stuff we have to touch on Bifidobacteria. It’s a hot topic in the SCD community for the reason that it can “take over” and cause health problems in some cases. It is a beneficial bacteria, but the problem is...

    Go on the net and find someone who is selling kefir grains. it's super easy to make and cheap too...... Some people do NOT respond well to yoghurt/kefir. I improved when i gave it up (D stopped). Goat or sheep milk seems to be better tolerated/less likely to cause problems. SCD recommends...

    I wouldn't buy it unless you want to geek out on the science (way over my head, makes sense, might be right, might not). It would be helpful but all the information you need is for free on the internet. I got it from my library and i would recommend going that option..... by the way......S...

    Food Differences - SCD Vs FODMAPs

    Sorry the last response was sooooo long..... though about it and with less words..... SCD eliminates all carb rich foods (All grains, sugar, potatoes ect) Fodmaps (if done properly) eliminates and reintroduces to test for a reaction, all foods high in fermentablle sugars (including fructose, a...

    Food Differences - SCD Vs FODMAPs

    SCD assumes that ALL carbs are bad (well, all carb rich foods, all plants have some carbs) It started in the 1950's from the work of a doctor that found removing carbs helped his patients and has gone on to become a widely used diet for many diseases/disorders. This is a pretty good summary...

    Article: Which Diet is Best?

    Good article although i get a bit tired of that old "we don't know what out ancestors ate" crap They ate anything they could find that wouldn't kill them (or in tough times anything that wouldn't kill them quickly). There just weren't that many twinkie trees and the soy protien isolate hunts...

    When I first went paleo it was a 'no potatoes, low carb' version (following on from no potatoes SCD). After about eight months of no potatoes (and very infrequent other nightshades) I reintroduced them on two separate occasions (two weeks apart) and reacted to them (snot, lots of runny snot...
