Learning How to Start the Specific Carbohydrate Diet

Hey Everyone, I  Have Ulcerative Colitis!

I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with UC over 8 years ago. I am currently on Asacol. I have done Remicade in the past but had a bad reaction to it so I had to stop. I was also on prednisone for a while which I will regret till the day I die.

Anyway, I am so happy to have found this website where there are other people who understand what I’m going through.

I recently decided to begin the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I have the book (“Breaking the Vicious Cycle). But I really don’t know where to start. I just need ideas on what to eat. Just the basics. What can I have for breakfast? lunch? and dinner? For example, I usually take some sort of sandwich to work for lunch–ham, cheese, turkey, etc. But from what I understand those aren’t options if your on SCD. Any suggestions? Why can’t life just be easy. ;-)
