Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Sara,The gas is likely related to your colon inflammation. As your colon starts to heal, it should dissipate and eventually disappear. I myself was in a similar situation: SCD for nearly 2 years and never knowingly/conscientiously ingested illegals. However, from restaurants and other sources, these illegals must have crept in, because I recently entered a flare that the intro diet alone couldn't cure. Unfortunately, I've had to start a prednisone taper. As of now, I have little to no gas, no blood, no diarrhea, but some mucus, which I'm told is also a sign of healing.Good luck,Jill>I have tried this diet for the past 1 1/2 years but never went back to the intro diet. And of course I cheated here and there. I got relief from symptoms for awhile and felt great, but >they came back as I added little bits of illegals. So, as of 2 1/2 weeks ago I started from square one. My main symptom with UC is bloody, gassy diarrhea. My question is, as I go >along adding things every few days (to make sure I don't have a food sensitivity) am I going for no gas whatsoever? I'm wondering if the gas I have periodically is a result of a >food intolerance or because my colon is still healing. It almost seems from other posts I've read, that I shouldn't be having any gas at all. And that feels impossible! I would >really like to hear from someone who has UC with success on the diet. Thank you!>>Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my case mucous discharge is the primary symptom so if I see any mucous I know my autoimmune response is active and reacting to something I've eaten. -- Cheers, DF in MA UC June '07 SCD Nov '08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
