Thanks for caring . It’s hard 🙁 . I’ll keep you all updated . Many Blessings…. , Rosemary 🙏💕

They also put me on the Elemental drinks so Im not just on the SCD but on Elemental Heal (its the brand name of the elemental drinks) as well as the SCD diet and about 5 targeted supplements. I see Dr Perlman at the Mayo Flordia as well as one of the nutritionist. The Elemental Heal is a supplement that helps me absorb all the nutrients I need as Im not yet able to absorb all the nutrients I need from the food I eat.
As for joy, I learned to look for it in the small things, learned to become grateful for just small and simple things, and kept pushing myself forward... end of story. No quitting. I have a great support system though so that is HUGE and I hang onto faith like it's everything. When I get tired of hanging on, my family hangs on for me. 🙂 The SCD diet will require work on your part so its not "easy peasy" but so far, its been huge in helping with the absorption of nutrients, belching, bloating that makes me look pregnant, and taming the "great poop challenges" that I really should write a book about... Do ask your Mayo doc about it. It might not be "right" for you, but you wont know unless you ask. You got this!
