Re: Starting the Diet with no Crohns symptoms present..

[Guest guest]

No, I haven't done this, but it makes sense. Being on SCD any time makes sense.

Just don't advance too fast. The medication may give you a sense that you

tolerate anything. I would advise staying close to the suggested stages on

pecanbread.com and going slowly.

That was exactly my reason for starting the diet :-). I was on Humira for the

first 9 months I was on SCD. I've now been off Humira for just over a year, and

have been fine with just the diet (and Pentasa). While Humira did help me a lot,

SCD has helped me even more (goodbye ugly fistulas!!!). Go for it :-).
