I had my gallbadder removed, but the damage had already been done. That's not to say that I regret my surgery. It was absolutely necessary. And the CP was probably already there prior to that procedure. Sadly, no one realized it. That was nine years ago. A bad gallbladder can necome infected and burst. That's very dangerous. -Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still suffer from symptoms since your pancreas was already damaged? Why was yours too far gone? Did you have symptoms that you ignored too long? I can't imagine my mother in so much pain like that again. I want her to recover 100%. She's NEVER sick, and only 57 years young. I don't want her to start yet (if ever!). Thanks again~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begin with " Introducting The Diet " page 69. edition 10 of BTVC and follow the outlined foods for a few days. It " clears the decks, " so to speak. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Welcome to the list Jen, >I have 2 boys 3 & 7, both ASD. Yesterday our Dr. recommended we do this diet. I've read the book, browsed the web sites and feel totally overwhelmed. We've been GF/CF since January. The boys do not have any severe bowel issues. They're guts are messed up, but stools are closer to normal than not. Do we start at the begining? It is a good idea to start at the beginning and add foods in starting with the simplest (peeled and cooked fruit and vegetables) to digest and gradually working to more complex foods. This will allow their guts to heal and could help point out any foods that they may have trouble with. Since there bowels are pretty good 1-3 days on the intro would probably be all that is needed. Since you are GFCF now here's the dairy free intro: http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#intro And some more links to help get started http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#transition http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#homemade >What do I feed everyone to keep them from feeling like they are starving? Sample menu: http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#menu The recipe page with lots of great SCD ideas: http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html They may want more to eat or not - each person is different. Some going through die off lose their appetite and some becaome ravenous. Sheila, SCD 56 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 41 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
