Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hello, I was wondering if someone could explain the following to me: Page 53 BTVC - " However people who cannot get their meat smoked without sugar, ordinary smoked bacon may be eaten once a week if it is fried very crisply. Page 57 BTVC - " Diet soft drinks are permitted occasionally. Those sweetened with aspartamen or Nutri-Sweet may sometimes contain lactose and should be avoided, however if this is the only type available, once per week is permitted. " Can you have bacon because it is cooked cripsly which gets rid of the sugar? Diet soft drinks sweetened with aspartame (I'm assuming like Diet Pepsi or Coke is what this is refers to) The book says that the diet must be followed with " fanatical adherance " I guess I don't understand why there are these concessions, when it says even a taste of ice cream or sugars can seriously impede recovery. Yogurt - I bought the yogourmet yogurt starter (has only acidophilus and bulgaricus) when I discovered what I was using was not legal, is this brand ok? Remicade increased - My doc just doubled my dose of remicade and since I have felt awesome. No d or anything, am also on prednisone (5mg) supposed to wean off after 2 rounds of remicade. Question would be if I feel this good, should I still be sticking to a pretty basic SCD or could I add things like uncooked fruit/veggies etc. I'm pretty sure I should still stick to the basics for now to heal, but I am interested in hearing opinions from you guys. Thanks Jody B cd 12 years, new to scd remicade and prednisone (5mg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
