For the past 4 years, since I started this website, I've been thrilled to have the time to personally answer hundreds (thousands?) of emails! It's been great hearing from so many of you who are starting the diet or who have found the website to be a help!
 
At this point in my life, with a 4-year-old, 2-year-old, and another on the way, along with starting to homeschool, I've reluctantly decided to take a sabbatical from question-answering via e-mail. This new schedule will allow me a little more time to be creative with the website, and I'm looking forward to the new ways we'll be able to branch out and hopefully provide more services and ideas for you!
 
There are many resources both on this website, our Facebook page, and at other SCD websites that can be a great help to you as you have questions and start the diet. I'll be spending time updating our Peek in Our Inbox categories so that the question you're asking is hopefully there, already answered, in one of the categories on the left!
 
So, please first refer to our FAQ page, the Starting the Diet page, and the Peek in Our Inbox page to find answers to your questions.
 
Also, if you'd like to post questions to our Facebook page, I will be trying to answer as many as I can. This will allow many people to hear the answer, and others who have experience with the diet may also be able to answer your questions on our Facebook page.
 
If you have more specific questions, they can usually be answered at the various SCD online support groups at the official SCD website.
 
Sincerely,
 
                Erin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some tips for you:

 If you ever wonder why you're having symptoms still, going over a list of everything you're eating can be very helpful in determining whether something illegal accidentally slipped into your diet, or if you're not reacting well to a legal food and will need to try it again after you're more well-healed.

 

Always double-check whether what you're eating is legal by referring to the official SCD website's Legal/Illegal list.

 

If you wonder whether ingredients in a supplement are legal, please refer to this handy chart. Please also see this page on my website about supplements.

 

Sticking to the diet 100% is essential to success on the SCD, so be very vigilant about making sure everything you're eating is legal before deciding the diet isn't working! It's amazing how just a tiny illegal can cause big issues!

 Keep in mind that our e-magazines, I Want To THRIVE, are a great resource with articles on many areas of interest. They are designed to encourage you, to give you great new recipes to try, to answer your questions, and to help you enjoy life and thrive!
