Q: SCD diet Products?
Is there a food line, or delivery service for the specific carbohydrate diet or SCD? It is sooooooooooo hard!

A: nope

Q: I’ve had IBS for many years. Tried the SCD diet. It helped. But need more. Does anyone have any advice?
Please don’t say eat more fiber. That makes things much worse. I’m looking for natural solutions. The SCD diet, in case it’s not clear. Is a diet based on eating very little or no carbs. It has helped more than anything so far. I have been tested for a lot so I don’t want any advice about more tests. I have IBS and that’s that. Any ideas.

A: I know what you mean. More fiber never helped me! The only thing that did was the Blood Type Diet, you don’t eat “very little” its basically healthy foods and a good diet but based on foods that YOUR body can digest more easily. After 20+ years after tests, medications, natural remedies, etc etc this has been the only thing that worked. Since following it for 2 years my symptoms are at least 90% improved. I just had this article published about it and it also has a link to the foods you should avoid and foods that are most beneficial so you at least have an outline of it to try:

I hope this helps!

Q: Does SCD help reduce complications from Crohn’s disease?
Recently diagnosed with Crohn’s and still being treated for heavy complications after a 3 week hospital stay I am in research mode to learn how I can help my body cope with this disease. I have heard many success stories from people who have adjusted their diet to SCD. Does this really work? Are there any other tested suggestions out there for Crohn’s?
SCD = Specific Carb Diet

A: Quick Action Plan for Crohn’s Disease
1. Diet is of primary importance. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.

2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.

4. Enema containing butyric acid two to five times a week. (Add one tablespoon of butyric acid to one quart of warm water.)

5. Supplements with vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, taken with a multivitamin/multimineral formula. Essential fatty acids, especial omega-3 oils, are also recommended.

6. Stress reduction through the use of various mind/body medicine techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnotherapy, meditation and relaxation exercises.

7. If you smoke, stop and if you are currently taking aspirin or other NSAIDs, consider replacing them with safer, more effective natural remedies.

8. Soothing baths two to five nights and alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the stomach and upper abdomen.

9. Juice remedies include aloe juice; wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice; and carrot, beet, and cucumber juice.

10. Juice of half a lemon with warm water, especially in the morning.

11. Allow yourself to receive emotional support to help you embrace some of the common underlying issues identified with Crohn’s, such as abandonment, anger, disappointment and rage, which often settle in the gut. Seek out a therapist or other skilled practitioner that can guide you through emotional healing work.

Q: can I make pasta without these ingredients?
My son is on the GFCF diet/ SCD diet. He is autistic. We would love to make some pasta. I have a pasta maker but we cannot use any gluten (wheat or any of it’s durivates), casein (a milk protein), eggs, soy, rice, corn, oats, safflower and coconut. We can do nut flours, veggies, meat. If such a thing can be done please answer me, thanks so much

A: Ok,
What I would do instead of making my own pasta is look for a brand that has all the qualities you want.
de Boles for instance has a wide range of ( some made with Jerusalem artichokes) pasta’s that are gluten free, rice free etc etc.

Good luck!

Q: Specific Carbohydrate Diet?

Q: Will eating only fruits, veggies and eggs make me loose weight?
I have a stomach disease and am on a special SCD diet to help heal my stomach. It only consists of fruit veggies and eggs, NO sugar NO carbs NO potatoes or corn. It is very strict. I was just wondering if I am going to loose weight on this diet because I really do not want to

A: You will probably lose weight on this diet but if you have plenty of eggs you might be able to prevent any weight loss.

Plenty of beans, peas and lentils might also help to prevent any weight loss.

Q: Is Fatty Acid Oxidation Or Fat Oxidation a Bad Thing?
Oxidation is regarded as being one of the number one killers in our society today because our bodies react with oxygen to create harmful free radicals. Why is it then that certain “diet pills” regard fatty acid oxidation as being a good thing?

Example: Stearoylethanolamide (SEA) has been shown to decrease food intake independent of PPAR and without changing hematochemical parameters such as glucose and triglyceride levels or leptin (a hormone involved with satiety) expression.
The appetite decreasing effect of SEA was associated with a reduction in liver stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) mRNA expression. SCD-1 is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of monounsaturated fats and its reduction is believed to lead to increased “fatty acid oxidation” and decreased lipogenesis in skeletal muscle and the liver.

A: no it’s not a bad thing, it’s the natural chemical reaction where fatty acids enter the mitochondria and are oxidized/converted for use as energy

Q: What to do for my kid ?
I am father of a three years kid, who is going to be four in this December. He is diagnosed as PDD NOS and still can’t form a three word sentence. He has not asked us a single question till now. However, he knows capital and small alphabets, can count upto 150, knows all colours, shapes, all objects around him. He momorises page numbers of books, which are more than 100 pages, means you ask him “which page has xxxxx pic ?” he will tell you the page number accurately. He can also momorise colours of alphabets of his children books. We are doing many things for him, like showing him to specialities, trying multiple diets like gfcf, scd etc. and also he is going to a special school. Does anyone come across with this kind of kids, how can i improve his language ?

A: He sounds like he is doing well !
At three Thomas pictured left couldn’t say anything and now at aged 10 can say two words, all i can say is just keep talking to him but to be honest he sounds fine to me

Q: Nursing Assessment Priorities…?
History/Information:
An 83 year old widowed woman was brought into the Emergency Department after slipping and falling at the grocery store. She underwent a total right hip replacement two days ago. The patient lives alone in a two-story house with her dog, Renny, which she adores. She has a history of hypertension, has cataracts, and is hard of hearing.

Healthcare Provider’s Orders:
Low sodium diet as tolerated
Up with assist
Physical therapy for hip rehabilitation
Abduction pillow
SCD’s bilateral
DSD change QD
Foley to continuous drainage
IV NS@75 mL/hr
Check SpO2 every shift
Intake and Output every shift
Incentive spirometer every 4 hours while awake
INR/PT daily and call healthcare provider with results
Benazepril 10mg PO twice a day
Enoxaparin 40mg SQ every day
Warfarin 2mg PO every night
Hydrocodone 5mg/Acetaminophen 500mg 1-2 tabs PO every 4-6 hours prn pain
Promethazine 25mg IM every 4-6 hours prn nausea

Current labs:
Na: 140 meq/L NORMAL RANGE : 135-145
K: 4.0 meq/L (SUPPOSED TO READ 40.?) NORMAL RANGE -25-125
Hct: 32% NORMAL RANGE : 36-48% (LOW)
Hgb: 9 g/dlNORMAL RANGE :12-16 g/dl. (LOW)
PT/INR: 16 seconds/4.5NORMAL RANGE :11-13 seconds. (Low. Below 6.0 associated with spontaneous bleeding)

So I have to prioritize and come up with 5 assessments for this client.

so far i have :

i. Assessment of the surgical site. Checking the amount and character of the drainage. Checking the dressing.
(Catching infection early)
ii. Assessment of the clients Pain level.
iii. Assessment of the skin for possible edema/pressure ulcers. Patient has limited ROM.

Some guidance / advice / pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

She does have low Na, Hgb, Hct, and PT, but those are issues for the Physician to address.

A: I hope someone helped you, as it’s been years since I was in nursing. :)

My only thought is…don’t forget her staircase at home when it comes to discharge planning.

Q: Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
Will the SCD(Specific Carbohydrate Diet) diet improve my self even if I don’t have gut problems(Crohns Disease and other diseases)? Should I go on it, I’m 17 years old male?

I was recently diagnosed with asbergurs(a kind of autism), but I have no signs of diaherrea (I don’t know how you spell it) or throwing up.

I am NOT trying to lose weight.

A: The theory behind that diet is a good one. The only problem for you would be that you’d be limiting yourself unnecessarily.

Am I correct in assuming that you believe that better nutrients will result in better brain function for you?

If the answer is ‘yes,’ I can advocate a better diet for you. The diet that has the most brain nutrients is a RAW diet. If you start eating tons of raw fruits and vegetables in addition to what you already eat, you’ll be getting many more vitamins in an easily-absorbable form.

Do a search on ‘raw food.’

Last but not least – eat more raw walnuts and raw green leaves; they’re great for the brain.
