Re: Re:rotation diet?

I guess I never thought it could have a label rotation diet, but that is what i have had to do to eat scd, but never thought it was called rotation diet.

I used food rotation strategies when I started SCD, and still use the strategies with some foods five years later.   Food rotation definitely helped me quite a bit, as I had extensive food sensitivities when I started SCD.

 

My digestion works better with the variety of foods, and my immune system is much calmer.  In my case, I didn't have to worry about meats, just had to rotate vegetables and the few fruits I eat, and the types of nut flour muffins I make.

 

Food rotation strategies easily complement SCD and can be very helpful when you are dealing with a compromised gut.  I found a few books on food rotation at my local library, and did some research online.

How many of you on the SCD follow a rotation diet? I am curious because it seems like the foods are so limited that it would be almost impossible. The veggies I eat are cucumber and cooked squash, mushrooms, and carrots. The fruit I eat are ripe bananas, peeled apples and pears, applesauce, frozen peaches and mangos blended in a smoothie, avocado, and melon. To do a rotation diet with these would I have to eat only apples and applesauce one day, then only bananas the next? I'm confused! Any advice would be appreciated!Thanks!AlyssaHi ... rotation diet just means you don't eat the same food ( or food family ) every day... it is "usually" a 4 day rotation ie: day one eat brassicas & beef, don't do again till day 5 ...it is compatible with scd tho challenging! For myself, there are some things I know i can only do "rarely" ...like tomatoes, I only do them once every 10 days ...rotating has allowed me to reintroduce foods I used to react to ...like eggs, i can now have once every 4-5 days...my meats I roughly rotate ...where instead of days, i use a different protein at each meal ...so for eg: beef, then chicken, then fish, then lamb, then turkey, then pork ...rotating is used to reduce food intolerances & to keep from developing more. I think if you google, you can get a listing of food families .. you then choose the scd foods you tolerate... it is easier to describe than it is to "do"! best of luck, gisele
