4 days of pumpkin

Hello all,

As I said before, I had huge troubles. For a year. Big stabbing hot pain, bloating to the point that I looked like 9 months pregnant.
And when I got m diagnose, I went onto the intro diet...but it didnt really work. It improved things, but not...really.

Until I decided: " alright, lets do this the hard way: 4 days of meat and pumpkin. "

Oh my. I was scared. But it worked! No kidding!

So here is what I ate:

Breakfast: thyme sausage, self made, fried in coconut oil or olive oil
Lunch: either sausage, broiled beef patties, chicken or beef soup with 2-3 teaspoons of cooked and pureed buttercup or butternut pumpkin.
Dinner: see lunch.

Boring? Not at all!

I cooked the beef patties, the chicken soup and the pumkin according to the rules of the intro diet.
But the cooked pumpkin is awesome. I spiced it up to whatever I wanted, and I did the same with my beef patties. I had beef patties with cinnamon, beef and pork patties with either paprika or turmeric and black pepper, chicken patties or even lamb.
I also spiced my pumpkin: sweet cinnamon pumpkin for breakfast (leave out salt), spicy curry pumpkin (salt, pepper, turmeric, cumin) or I put it into the soup.
I also had some beef schnitzel and a great steak, just with salt, pepper, and pumkin mash on the side.
I ate LOTS of meat. Meat is less dense in calories, so you need to eat more to have enough energy for the day. I also ate spoonfuls of coconut oil to get more calories in.

And I ate lots of thyme sausage. I like this stuff.

Since I still had no antibiotic, I took a probiotic. It is not SCD legal, but it didnt give me too much trouble. I took Natrens superdophilus, which is lactobazillus acidophilus, and took 1/4 tsp every evening before I went to bed for a week. Then I doubled the dose to 1/2 tsp the next week. I also prepared self made Kefir from lactose free milk and took 1 tsp every evening, too. Kefir is a stronger natural probiotic than yoghurt. I had some bloating, but since I slept, I had no big troubles in the mornings and all day.
additionaly, I took GI proZymes as enzymes, 1 peppermint oil capsule 30 minutes before meals, and one or two capsules of betaine HCL to help with the meat digestion. I didnt like it, and I have no idea if it helps or not, but since you cannot test your HCL levels here in NZ, I didn't care. Once the bottle is empty, I wont buy again.

Try it out, it will improve a lot of your symptoms.
