Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi everyone, My husband finally stopped bleeding! 2 day now. We have been strictly on the intro diet for a week and then added in a bit of spinach salad and beef once but he's been fine. Also, we got re-tested for H.Pylori after a month of supplememt therapy specific to killing this bacteria and it seems to have worked. It appears to be all gone. He was found having a large quantity of another bacteria though and is now on supplements and homeopathics that the naturopath is sure will get rid of it. This may have helped things along a bit as he started it about 4 days ago. He is still having a lot of constipation and absolutely will not go if he doesn't have a glass of prune nectar each day. We are a little nervous to add more foods into the diet now that he's stopped bleeding for 2 days. Any suggestions what to start with? Sincerely, Lorian and Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 That's wonderful news! I'd start with something simple like green beans (well cooked) or zucchini (peeled, de-seeded and well cooked). Those two seem to be well tolerated by most people. Have you seen the chart at http://www.pecanbread.com/new/scdfoods1.html#beyond It is just a guide because everyone is different but it will help you decide in what order to introduce foods after the intro.

And other soft foods - gelatins, apple sauce, etc. Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very, VERY careful about any kind of raw vegetables. (I know, I know -- I'm a salad person, myself, but had to go to all cooked for many months, otherwise the lettuce and so forth tended to come through, er, undigested.) Peeled steamed zucchini can be delicious -- there were occasions, early on, when I thought I should do a cook book on " 101 Ways To Fix Steamed Zucchini, " since I made quiches with it, had veggie dishes, made crackers with it, and dipping chips and goodness knows what else! I can also recommend French cut green beans, well-steamed. I found that I did well with the French cut even when regular green beans caused a reaction. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
