It's magic! LOL! But seriously, just try it. It's super quick and easy, and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the result. The batter will be quite "pourable" - just a bit thicker than pancake batter....
I'd love to hear if you have made it and how you like it. This will be light and fluffy, just like regular bread....
Just trial and error, many years ago. :)...
All I can say is that the ONLY time I went into a flare up, has been when I "cheated" on my diet (the SCD). I have been in total remission for as long as 8 years by just sticking to the diet. Zero...
I too was dissatisfied with the results of the almond flour. Yummy, yes. But a bit different. Nut butters will give a much better result (and cheaper). This is a recipe I developed after several...
Count me as one of those who got hit with UC after quitting. It's a long story, but I'll just give you one episode: In February 2003 I decided to quit smoking. I quit cold turkey. A couple of weeks...
Guategirl: If/when you decide to go on the SCD, please don't forget to come back to let us know how it works for you....
Very interesting article about FT The Enema of Your Enemy is Your Friend http://www.slate.com/id/2282768/ Just a little quote that gives me hope for all of us: "I really think in another couple of...
Email with the info on its way. When I called their office a while back, I was told they would only do it for patients who had C. Difficile. But things may have changed now, or maybe he could be...
I know that there's a GI doctor in Oklahoma City that does FT for patients with C. Diff induced colitis, but I don't know if he has started to accept UC patients. Not sure I can post his name here....
I agree. FYI, mycoplasma are a very good suspect. They're are everywhere and given the right conditions, cause all kinds of havoc. Mycoplasmas do not have a cell wall so they can "hide" inside cells...
I'd like to clear up a common misconception.. The SCD is not about what a person with digestive problems *should* eat. It is about what should not be eaten. Just because a food is allowed on the SCD,...
Again: "Fecal Transplant - I took the plunge! PART I" http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&p=1&m=1612467 LuckyLindy reported recently that he's still doing well....
I guess you still haven't read the threads relating to FT here. Most members who have done it, have done it at home themselves (myself included). It's really nothing more than an enema. Only a few...
Studies have shown that many new cases of UC, and also relapses, happen a short time after people quit smoking. That's why some doctored recommend nicotine patches. However... more recent studies...
From the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology (September 2010) Fecal Bacteriotherapy, Fecal Transplant, and the Microbiome Floch, Martin H. MD - Yale University School of Medicine...
What sas said. :-) Plus, make sure your BF has not taken antibiotics recently (past few months)...
You may need vitamin B-12 shots. Vitamin B12 is essential for building blood. If your B12 is low (less than 400 pg/ml), just taking iron won't do much (well, maybe give you diarrhea). But BEFORE you...
Just google "SCD recipes" and "SCD cookbooks." There's almost a dozen SCD cookbooks out there (I own two). You'll be amazed at the multitude of yummy recipes created just for SCDers. Happy eating!...
Well, let's see.... About $4 for a pack of three Walgreens enemas, About $1.30 for a gallon of distilled water. Everything else I already had at home (latex gloves, empty plastic containers (for...
I know how you feel. I think most of us have been there a few times. I hope you have someone in 'real life' that you can talk to, because it really helps to pull you out of that dark place. Sending...
Oh, and as subdued said, there are several threads on this forum discussing FT. Here's one of the most interesting: "Fecal Transplant - I took the plunge!"...
If you have read several different threads on this forum, you know that what works for some, doesn't work for others. You really need to keep a journal and write down everything you eat and drink,...
I'm kind of new to this forum, and I'd like to tell you all my experience with the DIY-at-home FT: I had been in remmission for almost 8 years by strictly following the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate...
A while back I came across a study with rats that showed that the rats receiving the antibiotics before their FT didn't respond as well as the ones that didn't have antibiotics prior to their FT....
agt13girl: You need to look at the ingredients list to make sure there are absolutely NO illegal ingredients in it. Personally, I doubt any Kraft product is SCD-compliant. Remember, if you are going...
Correct. I never considered SCD to a be a "cure" but it's the best way to achieve and maintain remission (when followed strictly and done properly). I think FT may be a cure, but I think we'll have...
I'm so happy that the medical establishment is finally willing to investigate this treatment. BTW, there is a doctor who does the FT in Oklahoma City. Dr. Mark Mellow of the Integris Digestive Health...
Me too, and when I do make me some, I use very well dripped yogurt. The resulting texture is much smoother than with DCCC....
No, it's not the same thing as Farmer's Cheese, but many people call the DCCC farmers cheese because it *looks* the same. But the process to make them and the properties of the finish product are a...
You can always call or email the company, explain your situation and ask them to verify the there are none of the unwanted ingredients in the product. They should be willing to put it in writing...
When I was using it, I used to buy it at Whole Foods. They called it "farmers cheese." They had this huge logs (I think around 7 pounds) for a very reasonable price (I think the brand was "Friendship...
Hi, all: I had been in remmission for almost 8 years by strictly following the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and taking only fish oil and Vitamin E every day. No meds at all. But last February I...
