Hello to all,my name is s and I'm a new member to this group. About

1 year ago I started getting a sharp pain under me right side rib cage after

eating food. The pain got worse and worse and then I started getting diarrhea

and blood in my stool. I was having a difficult time being a stay at home dad to

my active 3 year old so I went to the nearest Hospital to see if they could

help. After several months and many lab test later with little results my

symptoms got so bad I agreed to an EGD and C-scope. The first Dr. said I had

Crohn's, the second said I has Crohn's Colitis or Eosinophilic Colitis but

wanted one more blood test. While all these tests were happening I started to do

my own resurch. That led me to the Specific Carb diet. I started the diet and am

having mixed results. The second Dr. finally told me that I don't have IBD at

all but I have IBS and if I wanted he could perscribe medication. I asked about

a Dietition who know about IBD because I'm not interested in perscription meds.

but was told they don't have a special Dietition who know's about IBD.

Anyway, I've tried to follow the diet but I'm having mixed results. I want to

start over with just the sample diet from the book " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " ,

page 51. I can make the Yogurt and chicken soup but I haven't found any dry curd

cottage cheese yet but I'm still looking. In the sample diet Elaine includes

eggs but on page 45 she mentions eggs can be added after diarrhea is no longer

present. I'm not sure what to do about eggs. Any help ???

I've given up on the Doctors at my hospital and feel my wife is much better at

helping me figure all this out. I've been keeping a food diary that includes

symptoms such as energy level's and stools types but I don't see any major

trends yet.

Any help would be great - Thanks -
