SCD + Crohn's update

In the spirit of sharing our experiences, I thought I'd update this group on my

progress.

I've been on the SCD 4+ years, making my fair share of mistakes along the way.

After 2-1/2 years, my Crohn's symptoms stopped. Combining that fact with a SED

rate of 2, I thought I was in remission. I recently had a colonoscopy, my first

since before the SCD, and the biopsy came back as " active Crohn's " . So

clinically speaking, I am asymptomatic, not in remission as I had thought.

My quality of life is great however. I wasn't on meds before the diet and I've

elected to remain so, even though my GI advises otherwise.

I've written more extensively about this on my blog, so if you want more detail

give it a click.

I'm going to continue with the SCD, but I'll introduce an illegal to see what

happens. I figure my body will tell me pretty fast what it thinks.

Cheers,

Hi

I'll be very interested to see how you do after introducing an illegal. I've had

UC for almost 5 years. This is my 3rd attemp at the SCD. I've been on it VERY

strictly for about 14 months. The last 6 months have been the absolute worst in

my life. I can't tell you how many times I've gone back to the intro and Stage 1

foods with no progress at all - I've actually gotten worse. I'm now pretty much

completely housebound, 12-25 watery, bloody diarrhea every day, very weak,

extreme weight loss and excruciating abdominal pain. I was so weak the other day

I decided to have a piece of whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter and

tea (my old comfort food when I was sick) I felt better. My stools were actually

not as runny the next day. Go figure. I also started LDN and it got rid of the

pain in 3 days. If I didn't I know I'd be in the ER by now. Still lots of

symptoms but I am totally discouraged by the SCD now. My syptoms were bad before

but nothing like they are now. Let me know how you do.
