So tonight was a bit different, tonight we had a little bit of cow for dinner. No, but actually yes. We decided to grill up some beef kebabs. If you are anything like me, you eat about 5 or six different meals and that’s about it. Sounds pretty boring right? Well, yes it is. But, having this IBD disease has led me to one bigtime realization, “If it aint broke, don’t fix it!”. That’s something that seems to hold true to me following the SCD and keeping the UC symptoms dormant. Without further delay, please watch the video, my hope was that it might be funny for someone. Here is the actual video from just moments ago when we made up the beef kebab dinner:
One little side comment: If you are new to this site and wondering what SCD is, please refer to the SCD section up top to read about it from other stories. If you know what it is and have tried it to fix your UC symptoms and did not have the results you were hoping for, I apologize, as this video might tick you off. But at the end of the day, some of the ulcerative colitis treatments work for some, and not for others. As I am now coming on my year anniversary next month of starting the SCD, I am not as naive to think that its a SAVE ALL FOR EVERYONE the SCD diet. But more realistically, its a big helping hand for a decent percentage who use it to treat their colons.
The ingredients needed for the Beef Kebab dinner we had plus side salad came in at about $15 for two people: .74 pounds of ground beef 1 $2 bag of mixed greens(iceberg, carrots, red cabage etc…) 2 tomato 1 white onion(wife grated it up and put it in the beef before going on skewer) some cucumber dressing(probably not 100% SCD legal, but I only had a small dab)
that was pretty much it, a tiny bit of salt and pepper on the meat too.
i've got uc. I had one colonoscopy, 3 sigmoidoscopies, and 3 Remicade infusions, tons of prednisone, Humira, Colazal, Asacol, Sulfasalazine and some other stuff. But I'm doing pretty good and drug free and my colon is making some pretty hard craps lately.
I have been using an extreme diet makeover to treat my disease, actually its not too crazy.

Congrats on getting off the humira i think its more trouble then its worth i heard nothings but bad side effects ..hell i took one dose and im glad thats all i took. but listen to what happen right after i took the dose … like 2 weeks later or a little less i got really sick and ended up with MRSA and my blood count was wacked think my white blood count was like 28 thousand the normal is 13… anyways yea pardon my language but EFFFFthat humira dude …i think remicade might be a lilttle better then that.
wow Bryan, that’s pretty crazy about your blood ount stuff skyrocketing like that! Geez. You know, I’ve heard several people on the site talk now about MRSA. I wonder if its not more common in ulcerative colitis people compared to others….??? Might be interesting to try and find that out. for sure for me, the humira was defniitely not the answer.. later buddy, adam
