I still have D after 5 weeks

Hello. I'm looking for advice or reassurance. I have been on SCD for five weeks but still have chronic D. I did the introductory diet for five days.

I may have jumped into more advanced foods too quickly because I bought some wonderful SCD cookbooks! I had been on a mostly raw, vegan diet for five weeks before that and couldn't wait to eat! I didn't know what phase I was in because I still had D. Then I found the pecanbread.com list and realized I should go back to beginner foods.

I have been strictly adhering to the foods from the Intro, Stage 1 and Stage 2 lists for the last two weeks, cooking everything. It seems to be getting a little better.

Is this normal? I guess I was expecting faster results from the testimonials I'd read. Should I be taking probiotics?

Thanks in advance for your replies! Tweet
