SCD Diet question

Only if it's organic and free of any forbidden ingredients, nitrates, preservatives, etc. Because of the danger of unwanted additives, it's probably better to avoid it in the early stages of the diet.

Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis spring 1999

C-scope confirmed UC diagnosis 9/18/2007

No explanation for right side pain and thickening of bowel wall

 

Maintenance dose sulfasalazine, back on a pred taper for first flare in years

Probiotics, l-glutamine and fish oil caps. George's aloe vera juice and Mucosaheal.

It's really hard to find without illegals in it. I found some at Whole Foods downtown (big store). I have a book...Lucy's Cookbook I think that has a terrific sausage patty recipe in it.
Grain-Free Gourmet and Eat Well, Live Well (both based on SCD) are also TERRIFIC cookbooks. I gained 10 lbs (no lie!) the month I got the grain-free one!

dx late April 2005 with pancolitis UC after birth of my son (second child)... meds didn't work (or rather they would work and then randomly stop)

Started SCD and vit e enemas 12/9/05...that and meds = remission 12/11/05, off meds 12/20 (were on the way out before that), stopped continuous enemas 3/23 and use them only when I feel a flare coming on. 

Beautiful perfect baby boy born with no drugs and only vit e enemas during pg - 10/14/07

He also had no gas or discomfort while nursing from me being on the diet.

Didn't use the enemas last flare since I was nursing and regretting it now, wasted time in the hospital with drugs that did nothing but ravish my body, now on my own and almost better... vit e, weaning pred, licorice
