Travel on SCD/paleo, etc

You don't. Paleo or SCD is not some unique diet.. You go to the hotel and order chicken with vegetables. Or rice with something else.

The point is, you're trying to avoid gluten/dairy....

In the morning, you can order an vegi omlet

Listen, if your live revolves around you just staying home and cooking and never going out, never eating at a restaurant, then in my opinion it's not liiving.

Right now, I'm on SCD...however, if I feel like eating out, I go. I ate some path thai the other day. It's rice noodles, some sauce...etc. It's not all the time, but I'm not about to stop living. And if it gets to the point where I am not making progress with anything, then I will just have surgery.

When I go out, I eat specific things. I pay attention. But I will not let this disease dictate where I should go and what I should do.

I know its annoying, I've done it too. LaraBars are usually friendly (in grocery stores), bags of nuts or dried fruit, veggie chips for snacks.

I imagine ordering meats should be fine wherever you go out to eat, chicken wings, fish, etc. and ask what the 'veggie of the day' is, a salad with chicken/egg is helpful too.

For sure it definitely is high maintenance! Lots of work. You guys still do it tho? Cook all your food at home?

Haha somedude I like you. I have noticed something it is so expensive lol. And I go to the store a million times a week currently haha

Awesome that sounds good. Just saw all these people
With ice cream had a crazy ass craving. Lol it's day 5 of my diet holy shiz

When I go out, I usually eat steak, Burger patties on their own, salads or a bag of nuts. No rice! it's not SCD legal.

there is nothing wrong with rice. There is stuff that is legal in paleo and illegal on SCD. You don't have to follow at the letter.

Is the paleo diet designed to starve the bad bacteria? SCD is. Rice is feeding the bad bacteria.

Geez, you're read that book (that which I also have) and you already think it's the bible. lol

Just because it's written like that there, doesn't mean that is what is exactly happening. There is no point in arguing theories really. If its working for you, then that's the main goal.

I live at home for the summer, mom cooks good food. But Vermont is the perfect place to live for this disease, the Healthy Living market has tons of locally made, raw-food prepared meals, and allergy free foods there. If you can find a health food speciality store like that in your area, props! :))

This. We are in control here, not the disease.

I feel like they are very similar except the honey thing too, and paleo also allows sweet potatoes I believe. Scd seems to have more dairy in it

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that SCD or GAPS is meant to be a lifelong way of eating. The moral of the story is that you commit to it (especially at the beginning) and cosume a lot of bone broth in order to facilitate gut healing. You then figure out by journalling and slowly adding which foods cause you grief and which are OK. I suspect that some people who are on SCD can (eventually) tolerate honey. The diets are tools. You tweak as you go.

If you feel fantastic on SCD, (and congrats on your gangsta poos!) you just WILL WANT to cook and pack your own food so you don't feel like crap while you're away.

For now, I eat apples and cheese and salami when I'm travelling because those foods don't seem to cause me problems. I look for salads and steaks/burgers, fish, rice when I'm there. Oh ya and sushi! I used to 'live it up' when I was a couple of hours from home (driving) and get me a bag of smart pop popcorn or all dressed chips, but now I'll get some dill pickle rice puffs or just plain rice crackers. Wooohooo! Celebrate! Somedude is one wise dude I say.

That being said, once September rolls around and I will be home for a stretch, I'm hoping to give GAPS a good 2-3 month trial. I may try it sooner if I'm put on steroids to stop my flare.

You can also try to drink a lot of bone broth and just stick to what you can until you have a stretch of time where you can give it a proper go at home.
