So… I made it the 3 weeks to my colonoscopy. I was getting progressively sicker day by day. More D and more B. My stomach hurt like crazy. For me, I have to drink clear liquids for 3 days before the prep… so I think that helped my colon a little (gave it a little [...]

I know SCD is supposed to be the cure-all, but I’ve been on it now since April, and had to go back onto prednisone, and am still in a flare now. I have tried my hardest, done the intro diet at least 3 times… this week, even, all I’ve eaten is chicken breast, pureéd butternut [...]

I will probably be taking prednisone again before the week is out. Goodbye nicely fitting clothing… goodbye clear complexion and being able to sleep at night.

First, some background: I’ve been on the SCD since the middle of April of this year. I was also on a tapering schedule of prednisone when I started. Once I tapered off the prednisone I started having symptoms again (e.g. blood in stool, pain in lower left abdomen etc.) I believe that 1.) the prednisone, [...]
