Re: Success Stories - Severe Crohn's

[Guest guest]

Debbie, my husband has crohns and I have a friend who had UC. She had her whole large bowel removed and I wish I knew about this before her op because i would rather try a diet like this for a couple of years before I resorted to an operation of that magnitude. It might not work perfedtly for everyone but it is certainly worth a concerted effot to avoid the knife.

Good luck

I'm wondering if anyone can share some success stories they've had with doing the SCD while having a severe case of Crohn's or UC. I have Crohn's Colitis and my next step a full colectomy. I didn't get much encouragement from my GI doctor about this diet working in my particular situation. I'm wondering if this diet has worked on people with Crohn's as bad as mine, or if it mostly works on people who have mild to moderate disease.

I am currently in a bad flare, am on 60mg of Prednisone (just upped it from 40), and just had a pretty awful doctor's appointment this morning laying out my bleak options. I have been doing the diet for a week now --- just finished the intro stage and was pretty much a mess the whole time (a lot of bm's, blood, etc.). I am wholeheartedly into this diet 100%, I just need some encouragement that it could work for someone like me.

Thoughts? Thanks for anything you can share.Debbie
