I do want to read more on scd - I've been to the site when you've mentioned it various times. But I can only seem to stay there so long for some reason. It's so incredibly restrictive and when you as underweight as I am, and on the verge of some type of not so conventional eating disorder (without the imaginary body image problems) - I can't get too restrictive just yet. Put some weight and muscle back on, learn how to eat again (seriously - like waiting for a baby to be able to chew food) - then I'll look at scd. I'll look more into it sooner, but I just know that sometimes I have to just say "no" and that has a whole different meaning for me than what it has to most people.
I don't really feel the IBS stuff. It's hard to have an irritable bowel when one doesn't really eat.
Kinda funny but not. We get irritable brain, throat, upper abdomin.
Anyway. All this SCD and TCM take on both subjects is smart stuff.
