Usher on SCD and healed GERD

Hello everyone,

Here is a quick update on my current situation. I'm on SCD diet since two weeks. I eat almond bread for breakfast; cooked vegetables and homemade mayonnaise for lunch; fried eggs, SCD yogurt shake; avocado; SCD muffins for snacks and cooked beans for dinner. I'm doing absolutely well. By that I mean, I can work for 8 hours with good concentration; do yoga two times a day; cook for 2 hours and clean for 1 hour. I sleep for 7 hours a at night without any problems. I don't feel dizzy during the day. My energy level has increased. I would eat raw vegetables for lunch after a month. I'm already making sauerkraut.

I go to the toilet 1 time a day without fail. The stools are however not so formed, but are brown without any undigested food. I hope, they are going to get better very soon. I have already healed GERD. I can take 100mg caffeine capsules without acid reflux. I would have horrible reflux with the same dosage before. I however have problems with gastritis. I'm working on it at the moment.

I'm mostly spending more time on the SCD groups; learning new SCD recipes. I've already mastered almond bread, muffins. I'm on an anti-candida diet at the moment. I eat only low sugar fruits. I'm taking oil of oregano and caprylic acid capsules to beat candida overgrowth.

Here are some photos of my SCD foods:

Hi Usher
Congrats on taking control of your health through food. I have been doing SCD for about 4 years now and have learned a few things along the way.
The first is , if it is working stay with it. It is amazing that only after a couple of weeks you are seeing such improvement. That is fantastic.

I hope you never need the following and that you continue to improve but if not, a couple of comments.
You are eating very advanced foods. Your diet seems very high in fat. You are eating lots of nuts and beans. These three things would not work for me. Also the caffeine tablets are NOT SCD legal. As you know SCD is about being fanatically compliant, so I would stop these. Also, please evaluate closely everything that you are eating or taking. If you are taking one thing that is not SCD legal there is most likely others. Small mistakes can really slow or stop healing.

Please keep us informed of your journey. We are here to support, learn and be inspired by your success

Hi dfdavedf,

I know that you completely comply with SCD and been on it for 4 years. I have saved all your replies from the past. I also stalk you on SCD yahoo group. You are the one who motivated me to start SCD and take control of my health.

Of course, I'm making significant progress. Probably, it's because I took my health in to my own hands shortly after being diagnosed with CD. I didn't wait to start SCD till my CD got worse. I stopped consuming caffeine tablets. I now drink coffee two times a day and also take 625mg HCL and pepsin three times a day without any problems. I can't believe it myself. I again read the SCD legal list and came to know that Kohlrabi was illegal, which I was consuming. I stopped it as well. Apart from that, I don't think I consume anything else that it illegal.

I still remember reading in a book that our body has got such a huge healing power, if given chance for healing, it will heal any disease very quickly. There is no medicine in the world that can do the job of our body.

Actually my diet is high in fiber. I probably consume more than 30g of fiber which makes me constipated. I buy low fat (12g per 100g) almond flour and keep the daily fat consumption to 30g. I'm good with beans. I cook them properly before consuming them.

Hi Ides, Since I didn't get any reply from you. I assumed that you wouldn't accept it, so I donated 50$ to healingwell. Thanks a lot for your help.
