RE: Re: Die off after 3 weeks??

[Guest guest]

Sorry for the delay in replying, Ron.

I was on a modified SCD for one month and have been on the

strict diet for a little over two months. So not that long, but I’ve made very

quick progress, I guess, which I’m thankful for -- especially quick, it seems, when

I hear about the difficulties of some of the rest of the group here.

It’s definitely helping my Crohn’s symptoms, the more so since I

started the strict diet. My bowel movements are much more normal, though I

still have some pain in my right side, but it’s fairly minor most of the time. But

I’m also on LDN, which I’ve now been on a month, but only at full dose for the

last three night. The LDN, so far, has really boosted my energy, which was

terrible and debilitatingly low; that’s the main result I’ve felt from LDN at

this point.

n,

Thank you for responding. The only food I have introduced in addition to the

intro diet is green beans. I definitely plan on sticking it out on the diet for

the long term, it is just nice to get a little reassurance that I am doing

alright. May I ask how long you have been on the diet and how you are doing now

in relation to your Crohns symptoms?

Thanks,

Ron
