What’s the Specific Carb Diet

Hi, i want to start with this diet,but i have Hashimoto and Hypothiroid, so i cant eat cabagge, cauliflower etc. Do you have some suggestions for me(for veggies) and what type of veggies you eat?

Did you say you eat hemp seeds and kombucha? I thought those were illegal on the scd diet?

Thanks so much for taking the time to share all that useful information, I’ve went and added the book to my Amazon wishlist. Did you make your own sauerkraut or buy it from the store? Sorry if you mentioned in the video and I missed it, I’m a chronic “multi-tasker”

Hi, I found your video very interesting and helpful. I have tried numerous diets and I was told I have to take ppi for the rest of my life. I got interested in you explaining how bacteria can migrate from large intestine into small one. It is called sibo. This is what I have. I have been really trying to win this infection. But it is not very successful. Please tell me more about what fruits to consume for calcium (which ones would be good ones) and any other advice you have to stop bacteria from migrating. Thank you

I have ulcerative colitis for 2 years. I wonder what should I do now. Lol. Been on salofalk all this while. Seems useless.

It works… my son has Chrons and his GI Dr is onboard with this approach. Nimbal.org is a dr from Seattle that advocates the diet and now many doctors are following suit. Th diet work only if you do it 100%.

Thanks for sharing this, greetings from Colombia. (I don’t know if Its ok to say greetings Jajaj) can you tell me how did you know when to introduce new food to your diet, I am trying to start it, and don’t really know how, I found some information that says that you have to follow like 5 Phases, plus an introductory phase where you basically can eat carrots, meat, chicken eggs and apple or grape juice for 2-5 days, and then start adding the allow foods phase by phase, is it the way to start it? Thanks again! ��

I have a question on kefir did you make your own I am trying but it doesn’t seem like it’s coming out good. Any help would be appreciated thank you

what is the fist reaction of Autistic children with a special diet?

hey thanks for taking the time explaining everything and giving examples on what you actualy ate, i was just realy confused cz it seemed like no where near enough calories at all, i’m pretty thin and was wondering if you lost weight on the diet?

7 minutes and I’m still waiting on real advice I desperately need

Madam, I’m also 21 year old and from india diagnosing for crohns disease
I’m taking so many antiinflammatory drugs along with immunosuppressants, now I’m taking weekly blood test s to check the side effects of that pills. Many of foods you recommended are not available in indiacan u helpme

Thanks and respect from China! Hope more and more patients will benefit from SCD!!

Hello dear…
I want to ask can i add rice in my food with Scd deit because i have no problem with that….?

Yes good to hear! The scdiet also works for me 10 years now without meds and real complaints ����see also my video about this diet, in Dutch do ��

Woww okay so I just turned 21 today, I’ve suffered with crohns since I was 15. I tried this diet and it worked.. but it was never enough food, I would pass out a lot. After I stopped that diet I went through hell with many drugs like remicade and now Humira and so many times being on steroids. I almost died a few times because of becoming allergic to meds and my throat closing. I’m back to square one now so I’m really thinking to try SCD/Paleo again

Yes! Don’t be a victim to yourself and the “doctors” be your own healer!

SHE NEEDS TO BE MARRIED AND HAVE LOTS OF FAT LITTLE BABIES.

The SC diet worked for me… before following this diet with complete commitment, I did maintain a healthy diet which included some dairy, starch, grain and limited amounts of processed foods. It was only after I eliminated all the illegal SCD foods I began to to heal. I previously had extensive ulceration throughout parts of my intestines which now evidently has disappeared.

Thank you for sharing. My son had crohns. He is on scd for a month his filatus had not more leaking. He is not gaining weight. Every two days he has constipation. He feel pain. Have you experience d this?

I’ve been on the diet for 2.5 years and no Crohn’s symptoms since I started. All the expensive drugs I was on did zilch for me. Glad to hear it works for you for over 5 years!

Hey, thank for your video. I am a UC patient for over 2years. I would like to know about garlic. Onions and garlic( cooked) give me alot of gaz which pressures my gut wound.
So I would like to know did you eat garlic from the beginning or over the time?
Or were you having gas at the beginning, and after some time, garlic doesn’t give you symptoms anymore? Thank you again. This is very important for me

the doctor don’t tell me what courses my perianal fistula how I know what causes please if u know

Is tinned fruit (pears, peaches etc) OK for Crohns sufferers? Sorry, I’m just recently diagnosed.

I was going to the toilet more than 10 times a day, after being on the diet for 3 days, the toilet visit is cut in half. With so much of improvement with symptoms. Do not listen to your doctors, they maybe helpful at the beginning or during the worst flare to get your body back to normal; BUT not on a long term. What works best for IBD is dietary changes. Yes SCD works!

This was awesome. thanks. pls do answer my question from below?? i wud like specifically your reply:)

Hi,
I was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s. Do u use any medicine or drug when u don’t have any symptoms.is it necessary to use medicines life long?

How can scd allow monosachrides when they feed candida yeast??

I have had crohns for over thirty years I have not gone into deep with my diet like you have but I eat red meat, pork and chicken, cheese. potatoes, bread, eggs if I eat any veggies they have to be cooked good and I do not eat fruit. when I had the crohns in the seventy’s and the eighty’s there were not much in the way of meds to help so you had to go with your gut fillings if you know what I mean. If I were to eat what was called a healthy diet I would get sick I had to stay with a high fat diet. I also smoked cannabis it would ease my stomach and help me eat it lessened the pain and I think it helped with the inflammation. now I have fistula crohns and in my late forty’s I stopped smoking and within four years I had to have a bowel resection and a fistula had grow into my bladder and was letting waste into bladder so when I would pee I was pass waste. thanks good luck

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also suffering from Crohn’s. Did kefir make you bloated and cramps in begging when you first started because I tried kefir for so many times but always so many rounds of BM trips.

Can we email each other so I can have support through this? Ahhh. I’m just starting. It’s intimidating �� thank you for this video!!! ��

Thank you Erica for your courage to help all us Crohnys out there. Your videos are awesome. Stay great!!

I also did this diet about 20 years ago and stayed on it for 7 months. I had Ulcerative Colitis and was tired of the expensive medicines and prednisone. This diet cured me of UC completely and I learned that all my problems stem from an inability to digest lactose. I can’t say enough about this amazing diet! My doctor of course told me that it didn’t matter what I ate, which is utter nonsense.

But im vegan
I feel like this can easily be done on a vegan diet
Where can i find a complete list of foods that you can & can’t eat?

Thanks for sharing, i have been on the carnivore diet, recently started adding in sauerkraut and ginger into my diet

Hi, thank you, again, for your videos. My husband is on SCD for few weeks now and he feels almost as before the Colities flare up started. He does not have any active diarrhea. Can you please let me know if you took any supplements, like probiotics, in your journey to health? I made SCD yogurt and did not tolerated it very well, maybe too soon? One more question do you think is too soon to start with Cottage cheese, dry pressed? Thank you very much!

This diet (pre GAPS) is awesome and not just for autism but autoimmune as well, working for me with MS.

I am a vegetarian i don’t eat eggs or milk but i will try this diet i want to get rid of this bloody diseases asap��

Thank you. I have developed SIBO from levofloxacin. Cannot tolerate garlic and onion. Did you have SIBO?

@Erika (Erica?) �� I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video. I just picked up the book at the library yesterday at the advice of my GI doc; my body wouldn’t tolerate any of the meds for my UC and I cannot afford the infusions. (I think he is a genuinely good man for recommending it to me and was surprised that he did since I think most GI docs wouldn’t).

I’m starting the diet and your video gives me so much hope❣ I’ve been bedridden for way too long and this disease is ruining my life entirely. People don’t understand until they have it: no nourishment/hydration/sleep and your body effectively becomes its own torture chamber during a flare. It’s nothing short of horrific and completely demoralising depending on the severity of the flare.

I’m also staying away from night shades even though she included those on the okay list, so I was glad you mentioned that. Nightshades are inflammatory much like carrageenan can be.

I’m also going to start making my own Kefir, I need to wake up the grains I got in the mail…so it was good to hear you mention that as well.

Thanks again and wish me luck! All the best to you in the new year Angela

I am here to learn more about SCD because my son is having a chron’s flare right now. He started the SCD diet but not seeing immediate results. He is bleeding with diarrhea. He doesn’t have stomach cramps or gas. Please help anyone? What will him to get a formed stool. We are eliminating then peanut butter until he gets better. Thank you… also, how long before we see the bleeding diminish? We really want to continue the SCD diet. We don’t want the biologics. Thank you.

I’m now taking a t spoon of Manuka honey every morning and at night when I remember to take it I had no indigestion yesterday and no stress pain either yay cool that it works

I’ve had Crohn’s disease for 31 years and have never been in remission (except for during my 2 pregnancies) I’ve been on imuran for more than 15 years. Although no major flare ups… I’m plagued with bouts of diarrhea or constipation & tired most of the time.
I’ve read the book by Elaine (read it a couple times over the years) but I’m scared to commit to the diet. I have a family to cook for and work 4 days a week.
I tried (half heartedly) over 20 years ago go but it was very difficult finding the right things… Perhaps it would be easier now than many years ago when I tried it as I know there are many more options for food now.
I am currently symptom free… I am wondering… can I start the diet eating all the allowed foods or do I still need to start the introduction diet and add in other things gradually??? It would be much easier and less doable if I could just start out eating all the “allowed” foods.

I have only just been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and am finding your videos really good and helpful I often feel mis understood when it comes to other people understanding just how sick I really am with having this disease I had a go at my boss over this yesterday cause she wanted me to do a really early shift over the long weekend and I felt the stress of having to make it on time to do that for her would be really bad for my health she walked out in a huff and was not impressed with me she has irritable bowel disease so I thought she would have been understanding over my situation but I was wrong

The diet has helped my keep my celiac disease symptoms under wraps for about 10 years now. I eat gluten-free and on the SCD diet and I feel so great! ��������

Wow. I was amazed by the tropical fruit. I live in Florida and bananas make me feel better but not so much apples lol thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with colitis 3 years ago.And it’s so hard for me to come up with recipes and theres isnt many online

I tried the specific carbohydrate diet for two months and it worked. Then it stopped working. I tried eating Larabars but had a bad reaction to it. Im gonna try it again with taking immodium. I also had to take Lirhium and antipsychotics because my stomach problems started when I was under alot of stress. I ended up having a mental breakdown.
