you also do not eat shell fish and I was advised not to eat shell fish, do you know the reason why, or do you have an allergyI was in a very serious flare when someone on this forum posted that crabcakes have triggered flares for her more than once. I immediately stopped eating my daily clam chowder soup and noticed a significant improvement. After I went into remission I noticed symptoms whenever I tried to eat any kind of shellfish. But that is me, everyone is different. I noticed in a nearby post that InSoFla believes that lobster is her wonder drug that cures arthritis. I get sick as a dog when eating it.
Many foods that are illegal under SCD such as starchy vegetables like potatoes and non-gluten grains like corn, oatmeal, and rice etc., are perfectly fine with me and don't trigger symptoms. On the other hand SCD legal foods like shellfish and kale cause symptoms immediately. I can eat moderate amounts of sugar in tea and chocolate but high fructose syrup in soda and most candy is verboten. But that is me, everyone is different.
I have learned the hard way to be skeptical of doctors. At the same time there is no way I will blindly follow diet gurus like SCD's Elaine Gottschall or anybody else. I follow what works for me.
I like this forum because we can all share what works for ourselves and maybe it might help somebody else. Who knows how long it would have taken me to figure out on my own that shellfish is poison? I first learned about
it when somebody posted it here. And when I read stories such as Killcolitis's daughter who tried everything, conventional and alternative medicine, I appreciate how lucky I am that diet and probiotics seems to work for me. We'll see how long my luck holds out.
I am sorry that I cannot be much help about
Alzheimer’s disease. I vaguely remember references about
ibuprofen, magnesium, fish oil, curcumin, etc., but I really don't know of any magic bullet.
