My diet was more protein heavy because I really hate beans Tim said to jus...

Hey everyone! I managed to stick to SCD without any cheating on non-cheat days for 4 weeks. Then I just became so annoyed by the fact that I can't have dinner at my friends/family because it's almost never SCD-friendly it feels pretty ungrateful not being able to take a single bite of what they cooked up for you. Add to t...

My daughter visited me at Christmas and it was the first time since I'd started SCD.
