I am on day 6 and can not believe the improvement in my digestion so far! I'll keep the graphic description out of the blog, but lets just say that the gas factory is out of commission and I couldn't be happier.
The transition to a diary-free, legume-free, and nut-free diet was less difficult for me right now because I've been off grains already for 6 months. It has helped a great deal to have meals planned out... no wandering the kitchen feeling bad about all the things I can't eat. Instead I know I have delicious recipes awaiting me and a refrigerator stocked with fresh ingredients to make them.
That is not to say that I don't still miss the things I can't have. I polished off my jar of peanut butter right before starting, so at least I don't have that tempting me. But there is still some delicious Wisconsin cheese taunting me from the meat drawer and giving up coffee hit me a little harder than I expected. I had headaches and was very tired the first three days, but seem to be over that hump now.
I do miss the nut-based SCD treats a bit. I am longing for the texture and reward of a cookie or muffin... Somehow fruit just doesn't do it.
