SCD Day 12

John:

Medication: 10MG Prednisone (drops to 5MG tomorrow), 40MG Lialda, SCD Probiotic, ProZymes

Passings: 1
2:20PM This was odd because it came a lot sooner than other passings. Well within 24 hours. I was worried about it not turning out great because my gut wouldn't shut up all morning. My guess was from eating 2 bananas raw and they weren't ripe enough. In the end, my gut shut up after I passed a lot of gas, and the stool came out as a light colored Bristol 4. That makes me happy, because that means I can handle bananas! They just make me a little gassy. I'll stick to one banana a day from now on since I had two yesterday. After some research, I found that bananas act as a bit of a laxative. Same with apples and a bunch of other fruits and vegetables, so I'll have to keep that in mind.

How I Feel: I've noticed that I sleep hard through the entire night, like, all the time these days. I barely wake up at all, and sleeping in whatever position I want is no problem. My gut is basically healed. Just need to keep treating it right and continue the Phases of the SCD Lifestyle book by continuing to puree and cook my fruits and veggies. A week and a half left of Phase 1. I will be pushing my preparation for Spinach to tomorrow and trying it out then. After that, there isn't really anything else in the Phase 1 diet that I really want to try, so I've built my food safety zone, and I'm fine with cycling through what I've been eating over these last 12 days. My gut was screaming and moaning at me all morning, but it ended up being massive gas. After I passed it, my gut stopped churning. I was worried there would have been a yeast buildup from the two bananas I ate, but it seems that I've gotten away with it, and now I can eat raw bananas. Thank goodness! I'll only have one a day from now on though. Don't want to abuse the sugar intake to my body and start something bad in me.

Food: I had a small breakfast of applesauce since I had to rush off to class. Lunch was turkey meat and eggs cooked together. Dinner I went all out and bought a bunch of food to fill my refrigerator with. So much salmon now sits pleasantly in there. I had a piece of salmon, eggs and ground beef, applesauce, and diluted welches grape juice. I loved the meal so much that I took a picture! I still need a broiler pan tho which should come in the mail soon. I panfried everything, which wasn't the greatest idea. Not one bit of fat escaped that pan and I ate it all. I'll make sure not to overdo that in the future also.
