Hey @WildPlace I'm sorry I never saw your post until just now! I hope you and everyone here are going well. A quick update on me, after 18 months strict SCD I just kept getting progressively worse. Finally through freakish serendipity I found out what was wrong with me. I have a rare genetic mutation causing an…

Oh dear sorry again for being absent from the group... I hope you found a fudge recipe!

Hi Jaime - sorry I only just saw this now - I've been just keeping up day by day while I've had to work extra hours for the last 7 weeks to cover work absences. I hope you are okay and congratulations on taking charge of your health the way that works for you. I feel a bit the same as you in terms of SCD so please don't…

Hope you are managing a bit better by now Jaime - sounds like you were pretty depleted. Keeping the food interesting is a big part of this I think. I made some coconut oil 'fudge' which is dangerously delicious and an easy way to rack up calories on days you aren't getting enough. It's probably not an 'every day' food but…

Just an update on this - the coconut cream yoghurt did not work out - I think I was meant to blend it again at the end, which I didn't realise - the top part was like eating straight cake icing but not as delicious as it sounds and the bottom was runny. I really do struggle with what gelatin does to the texture. I'm back…

I had disasters with almond milk - but am making my second batch of coconut milk yoghurt because the first batch was actually quite palatable! Batch 2 I'm using coconut cream and a little less gelatin to see how that goes. As much as I want to get rid of my symptoms (I'm having a serious OVER IT day today) I'm secretly…

I use full fat whole milk - I figure the less it's processed the better. I tried making yoghurt from almond milk but it was an epic fail (three strikes and I gave up) plus the sludge I did make tasted foul so I figured I'd stick with the delicious stuff.

Guess it's lucky we don't have Chipotle in Australia - we love it when we visit the US! Bummer :( - Glad you didn't get a bad reaction Jaime :)

Yes definitely! But as Anjelina said it might impact the beneficial bacteria. Here's how we do ours: 300g of your favourite fruit or berries, 500g yoghurt, 45g honey - throw it all in a food processor and go til the fruit is as fine or chunky as you like, freeze it and when you want to eat it, smash it again in food…

Jaime that sounds like a plan! Still working on pinterest reactivation - found my account but the reactivation link doesn't work. Even though some of the foods on SCD are quite calorie dense, I've found that by increasing my water/fluid intake and eating smaller portions (much easier on my digestion) I have to work to keep…

I made the almond honey crisps but then topped it from the pineapple recipe in the BTVC book to make it a slice I keep in the freezer and just have a piece or two when I am needing a few extra calories. It's more sour than sweet but I don't like sweet all that much. Jamie are you okay with coconut flour? I made some nice…

Sorry I can't help but I am very interested in how you get on with your smoker. Might be the next thing I invest in too!

I used to and have been trying to reactivate my account but with no luck - might just make a new account because I don't want to miss out on all the yummy recipes over there!

You'll love these http://elanaspantry.com/salt-and-pepper-crackers/ I'm okay with the hard cheeses so I love these with a thin slice of jarlsberg as a snack!

My name is Karen and I was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis in November after a sudden onset of abdo pain on the loo in July, followed by another one a month later (I presumed linked to my time of month) until two weeks after that I started seeing blood. Compared to some people in the support groups I think I am lucky…
