Amazing Improvement on Diflucan + SCD

[Guest guest]

Hi there, I have been faithfully sticking to the SCD Diet since Sept 2008 when I

was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. While on the SCD I stopped passing blood and

I started getting some firm BM's (after 3 years of D), but I wasn't able to

progress past pecanbread's stage 1/2 without symptoms getting worse. An MD who

is interested in alternative medicine had me do a Metrametrix GIFx test which

indicated that I had an issue with yeast, so I began a 6 week course of Diflucan

(an antifungal) and limited foods that support yeast. Almost immediately all D

stopped and I have had firm BM's for teh last 3 weeks. I've also been able to

slowly add more vegetables without having a reaction. This is the most amazing

progress I've seen in my Crohn's since first getting sick almost 4 years ago.

I'm not sure if they D will return when I stop taking Diflucan, but I'm hopeful

that I will now be able to progress to a more complete version of the SCD.

Has anyone else had dramatic reduction in symptoms while on Diflucan? I seem to

be having a bit more gas and bloating than usual and I'm wondering if this is a

side effect of the Diflucan.

Cheers,
